We have a client that is normally low use. about 200+ hits per day. They are a non-profit, and get TV coverage (like the Today show, Dateline, NBC nightly news, and coming up here soon final 4 news spot) about once a month. When this happens, they get 60k hits a day.
they crash my dedicated server a few times. I have a dual p4 w/ 2 gb of ram. I only have 60 clients on this server, but as they get more coverage, our server cant take this many hits.
My video sharing site has high traffic, alexa rate:3,000
My site has 2 servers to split the load. 2 servers share a mysql server. Using rrdns to load the balance.
Server A running mysql 5.0,lighttpd
Server B running lighttpd.
Server B connect to A's mysql database.
During peak time. B can not connect to A's mysql server. It says server not responding. But A still running fine.
When I check mysql log file.
/usr/libexec/mysqld: Forcing close of thread .....
And when run top, the load average is 20.
The spec of Server A
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz dual core.
2G Ram.
Here is the my.cnf
Quote:
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
max_connections = 1000
wait_timeout=60
connect_timeout=10
interactive_timeout=120

query_cache_size=128M
query_cache_limit=2M
max_allowed_packet=16M
table_cache=1024
sort_buffer_size=2M
read_buffer_size=2M
My question, do I need another maching C to run lighttpd, and just keep mysql on A.
Or I can do some mysql optimization on A.
Also, if my site keeps going, can I have 1 mysql server and 5 http servers?
My site serves a few hundred people, and has very heavy database usage (every page).
But, for a two hour period EVERY day, it can server 5-10,000 at a tme - very strange, I know.
What kind of server set-up would I need?
I.e your answer may be... "Woah... You'll need 10 servers all doin abc"
I'm not too bothered about the detail - just "1 basic server would be enough - $100" - just an idea - I really have no clue.
I know this is a difficult question, and I'll get the usual - depends on xyz etc. - but even if your answer is "You'll need between 10-50 servers" - it at least gives me an idea.
if i need to host 10-20k concurrent users, what kind of server specs should i be getting ?
operating system will be windows server and IIS
running several websites and some web services.
I've been commissioned to setup and run a server for a client. It's a site where people can upload and show their photos in a rather large community. Daily users peaking at around 5.000 these days. He also has a large and very active forum for his 30.000 members. Forum is run on homebuild scripts (compares to Vbulletin).
He insists on getting a server that has absolutely no lag or other response time and is willing to pay what ever it costs.
I was thinking about setting up a system with:Xeon Dual core
16 GB RAM
4*500GB RAID
10 MBPS Port
Would a server like that do the job?
Was thinking about co-locating it to a Level3 center.
I have been hired to build a web server for a fellow student at school. I am used to building desktops for personal use but this is my first time putting together a web server so I just wanted to verify with you web hosting pros what should go in it.
Purpose of server: He wants a server that is capable of hosting a website mostly dedicated to a vBulletin community. He wants it to support a community of 30,000 members with a max of 1000 active users. He is also active in local politics and wants to host some local candidates web pages but I assume since they are local candidates and not very well known and most likely going to be very static pages this wont cause much of an extra load.
Limitations:I know the connection is going to be a likely place for a bottle neck but he wants to have a server that is capable of hosting the above mentioned type of load and will upgrade the his connection as needed. Also he does not know how to use Linux or Unix so a windows based system would be strongly preferred even though its generally considered worse.
what is the most necessary specs on such a system? I would greatly appreciate any input.
What do you think are good specs for web servers? We've been usually buying dual processor, dual core, 2gb ram, 2x36gb 15k scsi in raid-1 servers, but I wonder if we could get away with significantly less.
Is it better to have multiple, cheaper servers for Apache? What are some example specs?
What about something like this:
Intel Xeon 5130 2.00GHz 1333MHz 4MB DC x 1
2GB FB-DIMM - DDR II - 667 MHz (2x1GB) x 1
74GB S-ATA 10000 RPM ... OR ... 250GB S-ATA 7200 RPM ... OR ... 36 GB SCSI 15000 RPM
We currently have a website for our client developed on ASP.net with SQL
Its a straight forward web application with 2000 visitors per day
The traffic is going too heavy and its now at 130 GB per month
Our Queries :
Can we still have this site on a shared environment ?
If yes, suggest few providers offering high bandwidth
What other alternatives are there?
I own an anime linking site which you guessed it links to anime. I have around 10000 hits a day and would like a vps with litespeed since it's so much faster.

View 17 Replies View RelatedI'm starting a file download site. I've done a lot of research and I'm currently planning a head for growth and scaling. Looking to serve around 250-500 thousand 5MB files a day.
I would like some input from people that KNOW what they are talking about, hopefully people that have hosted/ran similar sites.
The main question I need answered is what will be the first bottle neck for a single download server will run into when delivering the following.
File size = 10MB.
Number of downloads = As many 1.2mbit download streams as possible.
Example Server, lets say...
Intel 5405
8GB Ram
2x640GB RE3 Hardware Raid 1
1000mbit
Am I correct in assuming the bottle neck will be the HD's here? So would I be right in assuming this could handle around 200 concurrent downloads @ 1.2mbit(250mbit)?
I'm wondering what kind of web server load that people are dealing with when it comes to their web (Apache, IIS, Lighttpd, nginx, etc.) server.
What information I'm curious about: How many raw accesses your web server is dealing with in a given month, and what kind of hardware you have to serve those accesses?
If you have multiple servers, pick the one that has the most accesses in a month.
My results:
My server gets ~2,500,000 accesses a month (about 1 per second) on Apache. The server is a AMD Athlon 64 3800+, 1GB RAM. Hardware handles those requests with no problems.
I've been getting requests for a VPS hosting from a few clients and I was wondering what everybody's input on the best server hardware configuration for a hypervm server is.
Was thinking something along the lines of the following server configuration:
Quad core processor(s)
16gbs of ram
2x 100GB RAID 1 Main HDD (Do I need this much space?)
4TB RAID 5 VM HDD's
That would allow me to keep the main OS separate and redundant due to HDD failure and leave the VM's on a RAID 5 for the same reason.
What would you change or advise me to do on this configuration? The goal is to host as many VM's as the processor/ram/HDD's will allow without much of a performance hit.
how many we can host with this configuration? Obviously depends on the packages that I haven't thought about yet.
Is it possible to build a server with only 0.5A - 0.75A (110V) or 60W - 90W peak power consumption? If so, what specs?
What's the lowest peak power consumption on:
quad core CPUs
2 memory DIMMS
2xSATA drives
I am looking to built such servers or have somebody built it.
How can I determine the minimum specs for a server that will hold several VPS? Dividing the resources by the total number of VPS machines, is this any good? (Processor, Ram, ...etc)
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow many pageviews a server like this can handle a day?
Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz
1024 MB RAM
160 GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive
Simple website with PHP and MySql, few graphics.
At the moment I have two Clovertown boxes at Softlayer with 4GB of ram. One has a couple of mirrored SATA disks and the other has raid 5 on some SAS disks. Both boxes have 1GB ports.
I'm running MDaemon not sure if its the right choice on both.
There arent many user accounts listed as most of emails goto and come from application servers, where they are basically loaded into a database.
My issue is most emails go out on one mail server. Sometimes there are 100,000 messages in the queue which then effects icoming mail processing. At times it can take hours for a message to get through the box. This results in issues as the email verfication system I use for end user accounts requires them to reply to a message, which of course if it takes hours to get into an account is no good.
Im debating about adding another box to the mix or replacing the two current mail servers (I could use them to do something else) with something like a 4xquad core job with 16GB of ram.
However does anyone have any suggestions on any different mail servers.
I dont want to run exchange, I have that on another box (lol) for my email already and I dont want something which is really going to require a lot of user input to keep running
setting up a Backup MX server for my domains and I was wondering what sort of a spec'd server I'd need for around 20-40 domains. The 20-40 domains aren't hosted on the same network/server so it would be unlikely for all of them do go down at once...but at the same time I dont want any emails to go missing.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI would like some advice and to see if this is a good approach to setup a server / web business.
The idea is to start off providing very basic web hosting functionality for smaller sites.
I was thinking about purchasing two similar or identical servers (RAID1 disks) + server fully mirrored.
In case 1 falls out the 2nd one takes over. DNS services is at startup located on other servers in the DC.
If this works out then I'd be looking at increasing servers with clusters or LVS.
I'm having a very hard time finding resources and information of the load and server capacity.
I was thinking about a system like this:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 , RAID 1 SATA disks (preferrably Raptor), 2 GB of RAM.
This would then be running LAMP. I would limit the traffic to 5-10GB transfer / month per account.
(most account would not nearly get up to this figure).
Is there a ballpark figure at about how many web sites this server could handle ?
Are we talking about 50 ? 20 ? 100 ?
What sort of redundancy that is recommended for a high risk site?
My definition of high risk is it will attract more hackers than usual, more DDOS, chances of blocked by ISP and etc.
We expect a site on one of our boxes to receive a significantly high level of traffic tomorrow as it is an event that will be covered and has already been covered by the press. The site operator expects > 100,000 hits a second.
It's a PHP page that pulls records from a database and lets people submit a form to insert a record. We have already put a caching script in place so that refreshing the page does not result in doing another database query.
The site was overloading a shared server, and we've moved it to one of our VPS boxes - it's the only VPS on the system at the moment. The box is a Quad Xeon 5410 with 4GB RAM with a 4 10K RPM drives in a RAID5 setup.
I have a video sharing site running Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz with 2 gb RAM and 400 gb Hard Disk.

I'm building a web app that will be both serving ads as well as recording things like impressions and clicks.
Obviously it will have a dedicated server (and will most likely quickly expand in to needing multiple servers) but I'm curious what specs are most important for this sort of thing.
Is processor speed more important? RAM? Hard drive speed?
It won't be heavy so much on the side of server full pages of data (like a normal website) as much as it will be heavy for display ads and recording visitor data.

I'm trying to identify the right hardware for the job without going overkill with the specs, as the budget is limited.
I have a cPanel server with 4GB RAM
My server hangs time to time, once or twice a day. This is the last status when it happens.
Server Load 75.90 (2 cpus)
Memory Used 92 %
Swap Used 65.78 %
When I was still inside SSH when it happens, the processes I can see inside "top" are a lot of httpd processes.
So I "killall -9 httpd", I had to do it 30~40 times
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
x 30~40 times until no pid process found & the server load is back to normal.
Before that, I check httpd fullstatus, they look very normal, same goes to what I see inside WHM Apache status & cpu usage status.
At first I thought it was a memory problem after consulting with a server admin, so I replaced all 4GB new ram stick (such a waste)
I've recently had a number of enquiries from hosted clients and potential customers requesting SharePoint hosting for use in connection with their current packages. I've used Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 in the past, but am specifically looking into the latest and greatest release of SharePoint to date to install - SharePoint Server 2007.
I've read over Microsoft's server requirements for running SharePoint, who recommend a 3GHz or higher processor and 2GB RAM for web servers, and 4GB RAM for SQL servers. To me, this seems ridiculous for the small number of clients I'll ever be hosting, and who will only have a small number of SharePoint users per site.
Those with any experience of SharePoint hosting please share your opinions of SharePoint hosting on various server configurations, as I'm interested to know how it performs. As I'll only have a small user base, would running SharePoint fully on one existing IIS 6 web server do the trick? What processor should this machine have, and amount of RAM to run SharePoint well?
I wanted to know wich hardware parts/specs are most important when running a php newsletter script like Interspire Email Marketer [url] or Omnistar Mailer (www.omnistarmailer.com/).

Server 3:
CPU: 2 x Dual Core Xeon 5110/4MB cache
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 2 x 73GB SAS - 10K RPM [RAID 10]
More Questions regarding hosting details:
a) In terms on CPU, do i need require P4, Xeon or 4Core Xeon?
b) In terms on RAM, will i need 1, 2, 4, or more Gb?
c) In terms on Hard Drive, i will be just fine using SATA or do i need faster, like SAS, 10k Raptor?
