I own a filehosting site and i have had large files uploaded to the server (300-700mb) the server runs fine, but sometime it gets really slow and the site cannot be opened. I guess, its because the amount of people downloading?
I heard that download accelerators can really harm the server as they open alot of new connections with the server..
Well i am looking for some method that i can offer large files, and still keep the site online at all times.
I own my own dedicated server, with average CPU and 1gb ram.
I am a reseller and one on my clients is on a dedicated server (Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 2x 160GB SATA Drives). His shop runs fine until he starts an ad campaign, at which point the server fails miserably. The average server load during those times is 20-25.
My host has looked at it and said there isn't anything to be done.
I realize there is a limit for any server but I'm hoping for a more definitive answer as to what the problem is. Is there some way to determine where the problem is, exactly?
For example, is it because the site is getting a 1,000 hits per hour or because those 1,000 hits are on one particular page that uses more resources than the others? Is there a test that can be ran to give such a profile?
Do I tell my client that his site is just too busy for the server? Is the above server not powerful enough? There is another dedicated server available that uses Dual Xeon 3.0Ghz and 4 MB Ram but it is $100/month more. If that is the solution, then I can explain that to the client. But if he moves to it and it still doesn't fix the problem, it will have just made him angrier.
what experiences other people have been having with loads on their servers from spam. I was doing some profiling of our machines and noticed that load actually a fairly significant part of the load on our servers, and its way worse than it used to be.
Looking at the numbers I suspect we could comfortably have way more accounts per server if we could deal with spam better.
how to trace or know who is overloading IIS in windows 2003 server?
When i check in the task manager , i saw sometimes w3wp.exe (IIS Worker Process) using high CPU usage for long time. That cause the server to be sluggish and sometime not responding.
Any tips or software that can tell which websites that cause the overload?
After 2 years of application hosting on ixwebhosting.com i have overloaded their mysql servers for the forth time and now if i overload them again i'll get banned.
Each time i got overloaded My database was taken away for a almost a week and i had to beg everyone / write a letter to the CEO so they'll return the database.
I now need to sireously move to a VPS / Dedicated server or my database will be deleted permenantly including all my 10 gigabytes of usergenerated data and content heh.
The wrost thing is i can't even monitor these overloads and ixwebhosting just take away your databases and say "STOP, you overloaded!" that's it - you're screwed.
I really modified my scripts these 2 days so i won't overload them again and get the final booting (that's after i paid 2 years upfront - 260$), but guess what, they can't even tell me if i'm now overloading the servers after i done all the tweaking.
Guess it's time to get all the data to my comuter before they say i have overloaded again and all my 12 my sites get blown away.
I need to switch fast i don't have much time as it seems and my most important site has 8k unique visitors per day - that's why the over loading occurs, heh, because im just too big - UNLIMITED MY ARSE.
I've been looking for a host and the best i found (after 2 days of forum readings and google searching ) where:
Please any suggestion / comments to where should i go to host will save my buissness, my main concern is my 8k per day site with 2.5 page views per user and 2 mysql queries per page.
looking for a good company with managed everything (I know nothing about hardware managment - i'm a php / mysql geek at the most) and technical support with great uptime and a good ping / connection to israel's area is a big plus.
I moved my sites to new linux server of mine (apache, mysql, php).
From that time i experienced some bigger websites hanging for like 2-3 seconds before they start loading. I mean when im browsing thru my website i click link, submit something and it waits saying in status field like "Waiting for mywebsite.com"
So i want to ask what apache, php etc values, what to check on server?
NOTE: my server is NOT overloaded (I am checking "top -c" stats) so don't suggest me to upgrade etc.
I have impression that it is waited until website elements are loaded and then webpage load very quickly after mentioned 2-3 seconds delay..

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription 2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents 3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??
I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.
However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices
This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.
I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?
The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.
I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing.
Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box.
Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe.
Requirements: Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20) 10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do 500MHz CPU is all cool 512MB or more RAM 5GB diskspace is enough Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms) Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered
If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.
I have been searching everywhere trying to find a tutorial but It is not going anywhere. Basically I need to create 2 nameservers for Godaddy and pretty much so when i type http://mysite.com it goes to my site. I can access everything from http://myip and everything works. Now is there a step by step on how to actually do it in the DNS Manager? I need help like what IP address do I use is it the router ip? The external IP?
Site is currently running on a single code single cpu p4 server. Am thinking of upgrading to a quad core Xeon server.
My site is pretty dynamic with lots of hits to php / mysql, and has trouble keeping up with the requests sometimes. Would a quadcore Xeon significantly help?
Server Software: Windows 2003 Server php 5.2.6 apache 2 mysql 4.1
Current Setup: P4 2.8 single core/cpu.
Proposed setup Xeon 3210 quadcore
I guess my confusion lies in the following:
1. Can win2003 server make use of the quadcores? 2. Does php / apache / mysql make use of the quadcores? 3. Will i see a significant increase in the amount of pages i can serve?
I am going to be buying a dedicated server from kimsufi Most likely the 2XL Package.
My streamers will be using my server aswell, On weekends we will be running 3-4 streams at a time, weekdays 1-2 at a time.
Spreading all the streams out, at anyone time we will have 300 viewers.
I need to know your advice on this before i go spending money.
How do i convert my dedi into a flash media server, i need red5 or something, thats all i know so far. My streamers wil be streaming to server with FME, And i also want it coded so that my streams can only be embedded on my site.
Basically i dont have a clue where to start, how long would it take me to set up etc....
In addition, what kind of server do i need, windows / linux / traffic / burstable / standard etc..
for setup and configuration instructions for setting up mail server on a Fedora Core 6 server. I googled it and most of the links are described with steps while installing OS, but i need to configure a mail server on a server where my site is already running.
