What setup would be right (as far as paging file goes) for running game servers on a dedicated box.
Specs
core2duo 2ghz
2 GB RAM
300Gb HD
Windows Server 2003 Standard
Right now it says it has 1512 MB allocated for the paging file. Just seems to me that programs would run better with a smaller paging file.
This is my first Windows server i have always used unix for a dedicated box so i dont have a clue how these settings such as page file affects a server.
I have a Windows server running x32 2003 standard, and upgrading to x64 isn't possible right now because of software compatibility. We already have 4GB ram installed, but that is constantly maxed out. I was thinking about investing in a top-end SSD (Like the intel extreme), and use it as a dedicated disk for the paging file. I know its not quite the same as increasing memory, but I figure it will minimize the effect of the server always swapping memory contents in and out of the paging file.
Also, if you think this is a good idea, what SSD would you recommend? I'm thinking anything 16GB or higher is fine. I've heard good things about the Intel SLC, and Mtron.
I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and i'm probably being a little lazy, but the google searches i did didn't really help.
As I need to have windows hosting, apart from the price, is there any difference between setting up the server with windows 2003 standard edition and web edition?
I want to run MS SQL and My sql databases, run asp, .Net 2 and php on the server.
I'd also want to connect with RDP which i'm assuming is fine.
Most of the searches seem to talk about the fact that you can't set up active directory,or making it a domain controller but not much else.
Im trying to setup FTP on Windows 2003 Standard. Multiple people will need access, the problem Im having is how do I make it to where certain ftp accounts only have access to certain folders and certain ftp accounts have access to the whole root directory of that folder?
For instance under websitefolder you have a folder called bobsfolder. I want bob to login and just be "jailed" to bobsfolder, but when websitefolderadmin logs in they have access to the root of websitefolder and all its subfolders.
I am going to buy my own server and colocate this at a data center. This server is going to only host one website with Mysql as backend database. I notice there are 3 different Windows 2003 server, Web, Standard and Enterprise. I am leaning toward the Standard version. Can I use Window 2003 Standard Edition to run my the web server?
I've got MSSQL 2005 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Standard R2 x64. The server has 12GB RAM.
Now, I've been trying to find some way to monitor how much RAM MSSQL takes up, but found two conflicting things.
One source says that MSSQL 2005 Enterprise can only use up to 4GB RAM on Windows Standard R2 x64. Another says Microsoft changed this to 32GB for Windows Standard R2 x64 only (i.e. not x86).
Could anyone confirm either of these? I'd find out myself if I knew how I could see how much it's using (it only shows 90mb in taskmanager).
I have a server running windows server 2003, IIS. I have a password protected folder where i have a coldfusion script. I'm trying to write a Batch Script that will run the coldfusion script but the Password Protected folder is giving me problems. I'm using Integrated Authentication on that folder.
anyone know how to write a .BAT script that will load the script and also pass the u/p to that folder so the script can be run?
i am more a linux guy than windows, but recently i have to switch to windows.
In my FTP program I logged in one of my domains and tried to edit file permissions for a folder but in my windows filezilla server it game me 504 command not implemented for that parameter error message.
I read a little and learned that windows dos not support posix.
How can a change the file permissions on windows machine?
Is there a way to page results from ls through FTP similar to the way you can in your shell by using ls | less (or ls -l | more)? When I try ls | less through FTP, even on a linux server, it wants to output to a local file?
to have certain administrative software products page an administrator under certain scenarios, such as failure of a hardware component? I've read about this functionality being possible in several scenarios, but am unsure of what is needed for it.
Similar to the concept of paging an administrator is sending a text message, which I'm also not sure about.
What is needed from a software, hardware, OS, etc perspective to get such functionality in your system?
At 1:25am last night I received this message and our server locked up:

I got new server for free image hosting services, I was reading up about lite speed and it seems faster for this type of need however i do not have money to buy enterprise edition now, standard edition which is free but it says only 150 concurrent connection, means i can't have more than 150 ppl viewing a image? please advice or do stick with our great Apache which free
I see most of the providers offering Windows 2003 STD license $20-$30 per month. I wonder how is that done, do they buy licenses in bulk and then lease them monthly basis or there is an agreement with Microsoft. I have a few linux boxes colocated and would like to procure Windows licenses on my own. Also how to go for licenses for VPS server?
how Litespeed Standard (free) edition compares to apache. Of course it's not as good as the paid version, but I'm wondering how the free version compares to Apache.
I just got hit with a whopping bill by my provider, and noticed they charged almost twice the bandwidth I was showing in my Cacti graphs.
I looked at the graphs they provided, and it seems that rather than averaging in/out bandwidth on the swich port, as the default Cacti installation does, they were treating in and out as separate switchports and totalling the bandwidth (at least I think that's what's going on).
Just wondering if this is a standard practice among providers. Attached are my and my provider's graphs.
I've been with these guys for years and never had this problem, until I had a big spike in incoming bandwidth which apparently skewed the usage. Prior to this, overrage charges have always matched bw shown in my Cacti graphs.
Can someone help me with web hosts providing WHM as standard feature on their web hosts instead of in only reseller plans.
I do not need a reseller plan, just want a plan to host multiple sites of my own but don't want to use the addon domains route.
I am currently hosted on Axishost for exactly the same reason as they provide WHM access but I need a little more space than what Axishost offers.
My requirements: 1.5 GB of storage & around 20 GB bandwidth per month for around $10 per month. (Axishost provides 1 GB space and I may just fall a little short on space. Except for this, I am quite happy with Axishost)
I could only find Resellerzoom which fits my budget perfectly but not sure about their Acceptable Use Policy which seems to be quite scary for the Budget Reseller Plan based on what I read on these forums.
I have been having consistent problems with my VPS where I can't access my webmail from public WiFi areas (coffee shops etc). Tonight it happened at a hotel wifi area; my web host had me telnet using ports 2082 2083 and 2086 which all failed. My web host says the ports for webmail are 2095 and 2096 which also failed and often non-standard ports are blocked.
Is this correct? I travel a lot so not being able to access my mail is a big problem. This is a VPS problem as it happens to all domains hosted on the VPS. What are my options? I have a lot of other webmail services (separate from this vps) that I never have trouble with.
Posted this as an add-on to another question I had in the Tech forum, had no reply, perhaps I posted in the wrong forum. Posting here instead:
I noticed MS has lifted some of the restriction concerning the Web Server edition, it's like half the price of Standard.
I'm mainly going to be hosting a couple of separate web sites, run ASP.Net and PHP, along with some database servers (currently considering SQL Server Express and MySQL).
Email server is being considered, though our load isn't too great, it's just for a couple of friends and myself. We're also intending to run game servers off it (Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty series, etc.) on occasions.
Would the Web Server edition suffice for these? Or is it still technically limited/has license restrictions, and I will need at least the standard edition?
I may also intend to serve streaming windows Media files.
to ship 2 machines to LINX and DECIX from the US, and obviously need either adapters or just new cables. I'm just not certain what plug type is used at both or either location. I guess I'm looking for information similar to like what we have here in the US (NEMA 1-15 or NEMA 2-20).
It seems to me storage space on dedicated hosts has stalled. Why is it that most dedicated hosts are still on 250 GB drives when 500 GB and 1000 GB drives are now standard?
what are the standard modules which you normally need to get installed in your server or which you install ? from which you sell hosting to your customer or Which standard modules Is Most Important To Be Installed In Your Dedicated server ?
