I'm contemplating whether to get a quad core high clock speed OR 2x quad core lower clock speed processor for my rack server.
The question boils down to.. Does Apache, PHP, and MySQL support multi-threading? Will having a bunch of cores just be a waste if high-traffic web hosting is the primary goal?
I run a PHP/MySQL intensive shopping cart.
I've spend some time today in reading about different Intel based processors. I'm learning fast (I didn't know too much about chips... untill now ) but there is something I still need to ask, since I didn't find an answer. So:
Which Quad-Core Xeon processor (from low cost ones) do you like more?
... Kentsfield, Yorkfield, Clovertown, Clovertown" (low voltage), Harpertown, Harpertown (low voltage).
From waht I saw I could guess that Clovertown is the most popular...?
I'm starting to do my homework on a dedicated server and am really not that savvy on what's best for my needs.
Firstly, I'm just trying to determine how much grunt I need and am not really sure of the benefits of multi-core vs single core vs single processor vs multi processor.
I've been running on a low density VPS with 1 Gig ram for a while and it's doing fine but won't handle this setup too much longer. My site does a very high amount of disk read/writing and for the size of my site there are a lot of database calls.
I'm thinking a multi-processor will do wonders for a database intensive site, but will a single multi-core process do fairly well also? My budget is at the low end and obviously I can afford more for a multi-core single processor.
What is the best configuration for a dedicated server? Trying to get my head round all the terminology as fast as I can.
Multi Processor Single Core
or
Single Processor Multi Core
This is kind of a followup of our thread
"More RAM or better CPU?" [url].
Sorry if we were supposed to post in that thread in stead, but this is a different question that in that post.
Our server is still crashing a lot and unfortunately we can't afford a multi processor with multi cores.
So the question is as follows:
For a site with a lot of database activity, what would be the best thing to go for:
a) Single processor with multiple cores, or
b) Multiple processors with a single core.
a = Intel Xeon 3060 Dual Core Conroe Processor (2.4GHz)
b = 2x Intel Dual Xeon 2.8GHz Processors
i have 100 web hosting clients that i want to move 50 clients to another server but i only now have one domain for the dns
server 1#
hostname : host01.dnsdomain.com
nameserver1 : host01.dnsdomain.com
nameserver2 : host02.dnsdomain.com
server 2#
hostname : host01.dnsdomain.com
nameserver1 : host03.dnsdomain.com
nameserver2 : host04.dnsdomain.com
and in the domain control panel i set the nameservers for the dnsdomain.com
nameserver1 : host01.dnsdomain.com
nameserver2 : host02.dnsdomain.com
and i didn't create account for it just dns only
is this a right way to create multi dns for multi webhosting servers?
and when i want to make subdomain hosting account site someting like
test02.dnsdomain.com
it didn't work

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe are comparing these 2 systems:
Intel Quad Core Q9300
4x2.5 GHz
250GB Sata HD
2 GB of ram
vs.
P4 3.0 w/ HT
250GB Sata HD
2 GB of RAM
Thoughts? Would the quad core blow the other away? We are looking to take 2 of the P4 and condense them into 1 of the Q9300...thoughts?
Has anyone done something like this?
How well does the Q9300 perform?
My company is on the market for a new dedicated provider/server and I need to know what the best processor is to go with?
I'm looking for something in the multi-processor/multi-core range, basically an enterprise server that can later be load balanced or clustered in the near future.
Please only experienced professionals with this server range reply.
This is possibly not the best place for this question but none the less, I am giving it a shot.
How much better are Xeon processors than Core 2 Duo processors? What goes into the brand difference? I know that they're built on the same architecture, but I'm unsure as to which is better.
I've got two choices, both Intel processors built on the Kentsfield Core 2 architecture.
Stats seem exactly alike, except one difference: the Core 2 Duo processor has a 9x multiplier (2.4GHz), while the Xeon processor has a 8x multiplier (2.13 GHz). I really see no advantage in taking the Xeon processor, which costs more. Multiplier difference shouldn't make a big deal.
So, anybody know what goes into the "Xeon" brand these days? The exact model numbers, by the way, are Q6600 for the Core 2 Duo and X3210 for the Xeon.
I am looking at some options for a server and have a dual processor question.
I am looking at a server with two Dempsey 5050 processors.
My question is this.
Is it possible to put two Dempsey 5050 processors in a server and turn one of them off so it can not be used?
I know some are going to say why do i want to do this and I might as well explain it now to get it out of the way. My colo will not let me keep space parts on hand and I have a client that may want to single Dempsey 5050 processor in his server and I would like to keep one Dempsey 5050 on hand as a spare for my server and other servers that use the Dempsey 5050 processor. I figured if put one on a board that supports two Dempsey 5050's and turn it off it would be like keeping a spare on hand.
Which is the better performer?
(1x) Quad Core Intel Xeon X3220 2.40GHz 2x4M Cache
OR
(2x) Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216 2.4GHz 2X1MB Cache 1Ghz HyperTransport
This is for a web/application server running, Windows 2003 Server Professional, IIS, MySQL, MSSQL 2005 Express, Plesk 8.5. The price is about the same.
I have a new server. Is there any way, from the command line if possible, to tell how many processors and cores my new server has?

Which one you suggest for running database server and VPS's?

We are hosting our software system which do calculation and file manipulation.
Now we have Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and would like to get Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 to increase our system performance.
Also we have other choice, get Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz
to replace two above.
I think it is better to have one server box because one box easy to manage than two. Also Harpertown is much faster than these two together.
What is your opinion?

both in the same price . so i need some advice for who are the best performance and the ideal for webhosting service.
I want to buy Rackspace dedicated server service, but after I search at WHT, I found some said it good and some said it not good.
If I want to don't worrired about security issues. Would you recommand me chose Rackspace? Or do you have any recommand provider?
Rackspace worth the $$?
The name, service and reputation is excellent but their prices seem to be much higher than similar services at other reputable providers.
The client looking at rackspace MUST have a reliable server, backups and security. These are not optional.
Is rackspace worth the extra dollars? Buying peace of mind or buying the name?
So I run a small music forum site. We used to have the ability for our users to download music track sets. We had over 100 files that are generally around 80MB and the users could add more so our space requirements would increase over time.
We initially set this up with dreamhost.com (unlimited bandwidth/space) but they eventually asked us to stop using the space as a data repository and wanted to charge $1 per GB transferred (which at that time was about $100-120/month).
The Problem:
This is something our users want and would probably pay for. I'm sort of asking for advice on how to approach this problem. Need to figure out how we could set this up and what to charge the users for downloading the music files (price per file, monthly plans, etc). Considering we want to keep it cheap enough that users will pay and the hosting costs would probably rise with the demand and exposure of the program. What sort of hosts should I be looking for?
I'm currently designing a website for a friend of mine for her new photography business.
And she does not know anything about the web, basically I am setting her up with hosting, domain, everything.... I've done this for about 3 people so far.
My question is, Is it worth it for me to buy a small reseller hosting plan, and have her pay me about $5-7 /mo, and since I will be handling everything, I get the support from my host and have her basically pay for my reseller hosting which I may end up with more clients from more web design? or just stick with the traditional recommending her to a company... Is there such thing as me making a few bucks from giving someone else business?
I wonder if there is a big advantage if I would go 64bit instead of 32bit. Now I mean standard webserver + mysql. And how about compatibility isses?
View 14 Replies View RelatedIs $35 Worth Getting i7 920 Instead Of Q9550?
Please thorw in your opinion on this..
Core i7 920
6GB DDR3
OR
Q9550
8GB DDR2
(Everything else the same)
When the i7 costs $35 more than Q9550, will you choose the i7 or Q9950? Is the extra preformance that i7 has worthy the extra $35?
RAM price is so low nowadays that one could buy 8 GB of cheap ram for 300$ (4x2GB) to build a server. I have a server with 2x1GB cheap ram that has been running for 18 months without any issue.
My bet is that ECC ram is not worth it when you can buy normal ram for such low prices.
How many of you would run a server with 8GB of cheap ram?

I am debating whether to colo my dual opteron (1u) - I am looking for 100mpbs port unmetered with some quality mixed bandwidth. How much will that run me for? does it make more sense to rent a dedicated server?
How about all those extras I hear about, like managed switches and power consumption..is that big issue?
Could somebody give me a quick quote as to how much colocating a 1u rack with 100mpbs premium b/w will cost? and then how much going the dedicated server route would compare
note: I need something that will get good speeds to asia. I anticipate 15 percent of visitors to be from Asia.
As I've mentioned in other threads, I work in the hosting industry at the support end of things. I can't go more than 10 minutes into my shift each day without seeing a ticket where someone is complaining about or contesting the "99% uptime guarantee". One day a couple weeks ago, I had someone complaining about an Alertra report with 98.7% uptime, and how it was unsatisfactory for their site to be down for 10 minutes every month. What's more, it was just a stupid World of Warcraft forum that probably saw 5 visitors per day.
My co-workers and I have been debating this, though. What worth is there in 99% uptime? Is it something that can be achieved? If so, would people pay more for it? Would it be able to be marketed to the shared hosting community? Would people be willing to pay more for 100% uptime? Would the same answers apply?
