I saw the note about Request threads, but I've had no luck with the requester form or sponsors and my requirements are perhaps a little uncommon. I just opened an account with a certain host only to find that the inode thing will be an issue, so already searching for a new place. Recommendations?
I'm flexible on pricing.. up to $20 / month?
My sites:
3x domains
3x Gallery2 installs
20Gb total (~ 70k inodes)
REQUIREMENTS:
PostgreSQL *
PHP 5
30Gb storage (and no harsh inode limit)
5-20Gb traffic (typically closer to 1Gb, if that)
SSH & rsync
PREFERABLE:
PostgreSQL 8.x (many times faster than 7.x)
PHP 5.2.3+ (supports phpdoctrine)
Proper domain management (ability to add arbitrary records)
I just moved to my new server and I have noticed a problem with the mail server.
The mail doesn't send unless I press "Send Mail Queue" inside WHM.
Does any one know if there is a cron-job for me to run?
Also, for all of my clients it is showing 0mb disk usage, how would I fix it to show their real disk usage and bandwidth usage? I believe that there is again, a cron-job to run.
OK so I've been in the hosting industry a very long time now and I have noticed that overselling has got more and more crazy over time. 7 years ago, 2GB of disk and 10GB bandwidth was considered overselling. Today, its common to see offers at 1000GB/1000TB.
So my question, to all you looking for web hosting, do you really think you will need all that space and bandwidth?
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. (Some might hate me for this!) Out of all my customers, 99% use less than 1GB disk and 5GB transfer.
Every hosting provider out there knows this, and will tack on a bunch of 0s to their offer to make it look more enticing . The thing is, if you aren't using the space, you aren't getting any extra value. If you come even close to the amount they offer, I am willing to bet you will be suspended faster than you can blink. This advertising tactic is very misleading and a lot of newcomers base their decision off the meaningless numbers they see. <<Snip>>
Bloggers - Think again if you believe you need anything more than 1GB of space. You could type blog posts until you are blue in the face before you come close to using 1GB(unless you incorporate a lot of videos and images)
Forum owners - Considering most forums are text based, forums use hardly any bandwidth. If you run a highly active forum, eventually you will start consuming decent amounts of disk space. However, there is no way that a shared host would allow such a forum to exist on the servers. You will be shut down before you use even a fraction of that 100gb/1000tb.
What should you consider than? If you see a host offering such impossible amounts of resources for an even more impossible price, look elsewhere. If you want a decent service, look to spend $5-10/m for a reasonable amount of disk space and bandwidth.

how much disk space and bandwidth would be needed to run a single Wordpress blog. I'm not a popular name, so I doubt I will have too many viewers besides my closest friends. In addition, I tend to make layouts which are a "teensy-bit" graphic-heavy :p
Is 2GB (disk space) and 30GB (bandwidth) supposedly enough?
I would like to install a tomcat application on my domain. Where do I upload the .war file and how can I manage the tomcat and access this application? I have root access to my Cpanel/WHM box. Also, I did apply a servlet already via WHM.
Also, I need to restore my postgres backup file as well but its too big to be done via pgmyadmin. How can I go about doing this via command line?
I'm aware of how to restore a mysql db via command line (1st create db in cpanel, 2nd run command in ssh). Never done so with a postgresql database.
I am looking for a webhost with a package that supports both ASP.NET *and* Postgres. So far, I have been able to find ones that support one but not the other.
Take a look what moderator of MySource Matrix forums says (enterprise-CMS based on PHP4+pgSQL):
Quote:
Yes, installing onto a virtual server is great, because its like you have an entire server to yourself. However, running PostgreSQL in a VM is not recommended for performance reasons. Obviously this isn't a concern on low-traffic sites. The ultimate solution would be a virtual server for Apache/PHP/MySource Matrix and a dedicated server for PostgreSQL. Though, I don't know of any virtual server providers that also provide dedicated database server access.
(...)
The problem with PostgreSQL (or any database) under virtualisation is that there is no IO prioritization given. So, the database just waits along with everything else for the hypervisor to deliver IO, with no consideration for priorities. This leads to a performance hit of about 70-80%. In testing, we've seen PostgreSQL under VMware ESX/GSX perform horribly, even with fibre-attached SAN storage. Though, sticking PostgreSQL on a Xen DomU seems better. The sysadmins have done some testing on this too.
If you run PostgreSQL across multiple virtual servers on the same hardware, you're just compounding the IO bottlenecks, so I can't recommend it at all.
can a Xen disk image be converted to a diskpartition?
Someone is asking whether I can host his disk image at his current host, which he is leaving for poor I/O (wonder why that would be ). I can host a diskimage, but I don't like diskimages (slow, and 100GB isn't very 'comfortable' either). Is there any way out there to convert a disk image into a normal partition?

The postgresql not start on my server. Use REDHAT Enterprise 4, I tried to install the command:
/scripts /installpostgres
But I returned the following error:
[root@s2 backups]# /scripts/installpostgres This script will install Postgres 7.3.x or later If you have an older version installed you wil need to Dump your databases to a file and then restore them after the install as 7.3.x is not backwards compatible. If you do not have any databases, you can just run: mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/pgsql.old /sbin/service postgresql stop /sbin/service postgresql start to force creating a 7.3.x style setup. Do not do this if you have databases that you wish to keep!

Looking for dedicated server that allows adult and proxy hosting and comes with PostgreSQL. Really looking for a more established host and not some one that’s going to steal my money and run. am open for your ideas on what you think is the best.
A customer is asking to open the port to access PostgreSQL on a shared server because he needs remote access to his database. Is it a good idea to grant remote access to PostgreSQL?
Haven't seen much debate lately on what processors to use within dedicated database servers. We're currently considering Dell 2950s and 2970s with the following:
8GB RAM, single SAS, 3.5-inch, 15K RPM Hard Drive for OS, single SAS, 3.5-inch, 15K RPM Hard Drive for SWAP, and four SAS, 3.5-inch, 15K RPM Hard Drives in a RAID10 array for database storage.
We'll be getting one server just for MySQL applications and one server for just PostgreSQL applications.
I have installed Apache 2.4.3, and PHP 5.4.5 64-bit, and I have installed PostgreSQL 9.2 64-bits under my new system windows 7 64 bits. Apache and PHP could work nicely, and PostgreSQL run fine too. However, PHP couldn't access the PostgreSQL. pg_connect(), and followed by echo select version(), didn't give any error. When PostgreSQL module was not loaded (because my php dir was d:php, but inside httpd.conf i type D:/PHP), I got message saying something like "undefined pg_connect()." I fixed it, but select version() or any other echo after pg_connect() didn't give any output.
