I am wondering if simultaneous downloads could take up a lot of CPU/Ram usage? Could a celeron server with 512MB handle simultaneous downloads and how many users can it support simultaneously? The server will be serving as a pure download, no database, no php, no cgi, no nothing. And what is the highest mbps this server could potentially reach?
View 6 RepliesI am running a youtube clone on a VPS with 512mb ram at Lunarpages.
Whenever I log into Plesk, I find that my system usage is extremely high. 90%++ even up to 100%. However my CPU usage is often less than 5%.
This problem often occurs when there is slightly more visitors on my site. I am talking about only 30++ visitors and this problem will occur and my site slows to a crawl and I have to restart the VPS.
The script or the server?
I've been running website for several years, however, there's one thing that I've never quite figured, most likely because I haven't gone over to dedicated/vps yet.
How much memory would a static 10kb HTML use or for that matter a PHP page (static)?
I know it's quite a broad question, but I'm asking this as I might start a project and this one page may receive many hits. Oh and, would the memory usage go up if I have embedded objects from an outside source (e.g. embedded Youtube videos)?
I have seen posts that some hosts suspend a user after they so many seconds of high server resource usage... I was wondering how this is done so that I can do this on my dedicated server.

I recently migrated a load of domains from a pleks 8.? install to a plesk 12 one. As part of the migration a new reseller was created but all the resellers domains got "lost". They were all there and working but not appearing in the interface.
I did some googleing and fixed this problem and can now see all the domains and when I look at the reseller plesk tells me it has 0 own customers, 0 own plans and 0 own subscriptions. However, if I look at the resources tab it tells me that 7 domains out of unlimited are being used.I just wondered where plesk get's that info from and if it is safe to delete that reseller without risking the domains getting deleted too.
I upgraded my hosting to DreamHost PS (http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-vps.html) about 7 days ago, and after 3 days of evaluation i find no interest about it and decided to downgrade. But they rejected my request saying that the resource is too high, then came the long negotiation.
My question now is, would domains parked(not hosted) at dreamhost ate up memory of my PS?
Phase 1: Why didn't anyone warn me before the upgrade?
I wrote:
I found a few unreasonable facts about your statement of rejecting my downgrading request:
1. Dreamhost tempted me to upgrade when I was doing fine with share hosting;
2. Dreamhost didn't warn me with any condition or term of any kind, including downgrading would be rejected if memory reach a certain degree;
3. from the facts stated above, this upgrading thing is a total scam.
##comment: The upgrade took only a click of the button.
And their answer:
I'm sorry to hear you feel this way Ruiz. However, your accounts resource usage is above what will work on shared hosting. If we were to move you back, one of two things would begin to happen:
1 - your domains would affect the stability of the web server, slowing down other customers sites, or taking them down completely
2 - your own sites would begin to fail due to the high resource usage.
As such, we can not move you back until you've brought that usage down. However, I can understand why you would feel the way you do. As such, I'm willing to add a $15/mo subsidy to your PS service. What this means, is that the basic 150MB/MHz you have to pay for will be free, all you will need to pay for would be any resources you allocate beyond the first 150MB. If this is alright, let me know and I'll go ahead and add the subsidy to your account.Phase 2: Why my hosting suddenly ate up so much memory?
I said:
I haven't recieved any email mentioning that my domains are using too much resource BEFORE THE UPGRADE for almost ONE WHOLE YEAR, how come suddenly they are? Is it some kind of malfunction or misconfiguration of your PS that causes the problem? If it is, why should I pay for it?
They answered:
It isn't a "sudden" issue. Your sites have been using whatever resources they need for as long as you've been on the PS. It appears you've had spikes as high as 600MB of memory in your usage, and if you look at your graph over the last month: ...
I'm on PPA 11.5 MU#2 (Should upgrade to MU#3 soon). My problem is that the Usage of Disk Space for all my customers subscriptions are not calculated. I've run the daily maintenance script (which it actually runs periodically), but there's no update on the display.

My clients in LA - those on AT&T and Time Warner in paticular - are having bad download speeds from my server with Softlayer. Anyone else having similar trouble? Clients who normally get 500-700kb/s down are getting < 50 kb/s down, even early in the morning when the total traffic on my 100mbps port is under 1.5mbps.
Basically, east coast is fine, and anyone with a T1 in LA is fine as well - it's just DSL and Cable modems in LA that are screwed up. In fact, one of our are clients is using Apple Remote Desktop to connect to a remote client with a T1; it's faster to through Time Warner, then VPN to Verizon, and then connect Softlayer and back again than to go directly from Time Warner to Softlayer, which is really weird.
I own the website [url]and it's hosted at Host Excellence. Recently there have been some downtime periods, and most importantly, I have noticed that downloads are very slow. For instance, when I download a file such as [url]I get an approximative transfer rate of 100-150 KB/sec (whereas most other sites download at 500 KB/sec or more). First of all I'd like to know if you guys get similar results, and what do you recommend? I have contacted my host about it, they seem to deny the problem. Should I switch? What to? I need something reliable and fast.

Is anyone else experiencing slow downloads on midphase dedicated servers in the softlayer dallas datacenter?
I'm getting 1/2 my connection speed from it, with softlayer server I get about 6.4mbps with midphase i'm getting only around 3mbps.
You can do a speed test here from it ....
I ordered a new server from iWeb a few days and after I transfered everything and was stating to set everything up I noticed that I as only getting about 1/2 of my download speed from both of my iWeb servers.
Is anyone else experiencing slower then normal downloads from iWeb?
Normally I could max my connection out at 2.1 MB/s now I can only get about 800 KB/s - 1.0 MB/s
I'm selling downloads of music files. The zip files are quite large. I've had several people complain that they get a message that the server resets their connection before the download finishes.
What can I do to allow these large downloads?
I'm on IIS.
My new server speed seems very low. The downloads are taking too much time. While downloading the os templates I am getting the download speeds in the range of 30K/s - 40k/s (Max 100 K/s)
I have another server in this DC and havent this problem on this.
I send an email to datacenter about this issu and they sayd:
Code:
Dear Mr Yarmohammadi,
I just checked the switch configuration. Could you please look for the
configuration of the network card in your server and if it is in 'Full
Duplex'
mode?
If not, please try and configure it in this way, maybe it already is,
because the switch just changed to 100 MBit FD in automatic configuration
mode.
I've ordered 1gbit/s port with one my dedicated servers. But I am still unhappy with the speed of download.
I have 2 mbit DSL connection at home and I can download files with 90 kb/s from the server. I also see the same speed on a 100mbit port server. But I can download files from RapidShare with 210 kb/s..
What do you recommend me to do make faster downloads from server-side?
I have a file that will probably be a few megabytes in size that will be downloaded 100's of thousands if not millions of times.
Where would be a good place to store this file?
Are there any big file hosting companies out there you've used or can at least recommend for this sort of thing?
I have a problem with some mp4 videos and the downloads made from cellphones.
I have a plain LAMP server (centos 5, apache 2, php 5), the customers download the videos from a web, mobile section, and play on their cellphones.
The strange thing is that when they opened the video to play it on the cellphone, the video shows itself as a binary, although the extension remains mp4.
Tried moving the same video to another server, and it was played ok without any changes.. so, tested another server and after making this changes, it was able to reproduce the mp4 format:
I changed the Default mime.types from text/plain to application/octet-stream
TypesConfig / etc / mime.types
# DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# If it can not otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text / plain" isnte
# A good value. If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# Or images, you may want to use "application / octet-stream" instead to
# Keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# Text.
#
DefaultType application / octet-stream
When the videos out in binary, with a lot of strange characters, leaving just this: application / octet-stream
I see in /etc/mime.types and there is support for many formats, including. Mp4
However, on the original first server even if I change the above code, I can not reproduce mp4.
On any laptop or pc from the three servers I can reproduce the videos, the problem it’s just on one server playing from cellphones.
I just received a fairly scary WHMCS notice, you can view the details here:
<<please don't paste the file names, there are accounts that may have these on them>>
What are your thoughts on the entire situation? Personally, I'm a tad fearful (luckily, I hadn't upgraded to the next version yet as I was letting the other users play beta-testers) given the fact that there wasn't any versioning / modification 'notification' system in place on their end.
I'm fearing further updates. In essence, my concern is that the WHMCS development team isn't entirely certain how they were backdoored or to what scale they were backdoored.
Are their own billing systems & servers hosted in the same environment, were our billing details also released? etc. I want to know the scale of the attack.
I recently updated to Cpanel 11, which has resulted in a very interesting error.

I have a little project for a website that contains some of Downloadable files
and Media Files!
In my calculation..., I may use about 50 GB storage
and if the number of visiors is as what im expected i'll need 1 TB bandwith or some less!
==
let's talk about the hosting part here
i know that there are some companies that over more than 300 gb storage and more that 3 TB of traffic!
but i don't think they are going to work with my project so... i searched for a vps to start my project ..., and im thinking in dedicated server in the future..,so let's not talk about the future right now!
I want to talk about the ability of vps for downloads hosting!
the vps I've found is this one:
Disk Space : 60,000 MB (60 GB)
Number of Domains : Unlimited Domains
CPU Limit : Equal Share
Guranteed Memory : 512 MB
Burstable Memory : 2048 MB
Monthly Bandwidth : 2,000 GB
Included Control Panel : cPanel / WHM
I have a problem in that I sell somewhat large download files, and Hostmonster told me their servers don't support 'resume'.
So if my customer has a power failure, etc., during the download, he'll have to start all over again.
So it looks like I'm going to have to move my download files to a different server.
Can anyone recommend a good host that will store my digital downloads and, that, most importantly, support 'resume'.
I thought some might find this short review useful. I recently found my website - vladstudio.com - pushing shared hosting limits fast (powweb.com at that time). After long days of (unsuccessful) searching for ideal hosting (fast, with lots of traffic, managed, and of course cheap :-) ), I got good idea from my wife and splitted my website into 2 pieces hosted separately.
For domain, PHP and MySQL, I've been using MediaLayer Application (shared) hosting. I might already mention it here before - I'm extremely happy with them, once my site hit digg.com frontpage and I got 500000 visitors in a day, and hosting did not go down! Right now, it serves about 25000 visits (500000 hits) a day, every hit being dynamic PHP page with several MySQL queries.
For hosting images and downloadable files, I use PacificRack dedicated server (most basic one, but with 2000 Gb/m traffic included). I am very bad at managing servers, but default configuration and my modest knowledge of Linux was enough - it is only used to store files that visitors download from vladstudio.com.
So, if your site is growing out of shared hosting too, consider 2 separate hosting accounts for application and files - it works very well for me. And once again, big thanks to MediaLayer and PacificRack.
I've tried Lighttpd and Apache. Server is QuadCore 1 cpu.
Either one when I have one long curl download occurring in Firefox, and open up another window to connect to the site it waits until the curl process completes.
In Lighttpd I have php 5.2.5 fastcgi and xcache.
There is no errors. It simply just waits until the process is completed and 1 second later the second request (2nd browser) starts.
Code:
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/usr/local/php5/bin/php-cgi",
"max-procs" => 1,
"bin-environment" => (
"PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "16",
"PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000"
)
)
)
)
