Maximum Page Views Per Month A Shared Plan Can Handle

May 3, 2009

By shared plan I mean affordable $8 per month shared plans offered by most cheap hosting providers.

By using wordpress without wp-cache plugin, what's the maximum daily pageviews / page refreshes a shared plan can handle? I mean, in terms of CPU load, before having to upgrade to a VPS plan or sth.

Can anyone give me an approx figure? I'm thinking, if you got 1 visit every 3 seconds, it's 28800 pageviews a day? Any shared plan can handle that right? No other crazy stuff at all, just one domain on wordpress with pure text posts.

I know things vary host by host, but can you give me your own estimation on this?

What Type Of Server To Handle

Mar 13, 2009

I have a client that asked me to educate myself about web hosting and make a recommendation to him about where he should be. He currently has a shared hosting server at Network Solutions and finds unexplained slow downs and disk corruption reports in his forums DB unacceptable.

I'm glad I found this site-lots of good info but nothing like throwing up some stats and seeing what people recommend. The client told me he wanted to move to a dedicated server but I'm thinking a VPS might do the trick. Especially if upgraded with dedicated Core as well as RAM such as wiredtree is offering.

Looking for a managed, Unix based server that in a typical month serves
100k unique visitors
230k page views
500Gb of downloads

But needs to be easily upgradeable to handle his expected traffic levels in the next year of monthly visits in the order of:
250k unique visitors
600k page views
1.1Tb of throughput
As far as features:

*Currently they use about 15 gigs of disk space. Some of that is inefficient disk management but the bulk is them supporting previous software releases.

*needs to be fully managed

*US datacenter with all the features you guys would expect to have as far as backbone access, security, power backups, etc..

*Backups by provider. Let's say 5 gigs worth since the old software versions don't really need to be backed up.(I'll recommend his own backups as well)

*Either plesk or cpanel

*15 minute hardware SLA is what the client is asking for but i'd like to present some comparisons to 1 hour SLA companies to see how much he'd save.

And finally, i tried to search for the answer to this but the keywords kept bringing up lots of hits without good info. The client sells software so the bandwidth needed is pretty consistent until they release a new version. Then it skyrockets to the point they may have 1500 people trying to download a 50Meg file simultaneously. What is the right way to handle that? Use a CDN or negotiate with the hosting provider to provide burstable bandwidth as needed. As a side note while looking at many offerings I was most surprised that bandwidth seems to sold in large chunks with overage costs hidden.

Too High Server Load, How To Handle

May 4, 2008

if upgrading to that new server that I'll mention will probably solve my problems. Whatever help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Below are the details:

In the GMT evenings and nights my current server gets so loaded that every page load takes 10 - 30 seconds. Even the pure html pages will be so slow to load. It seems that after a certain treshold it just suddenly becomes that much slower. Not much middleground there. I have high MaxClients and ServerLimit values now and the error log doesn't say that they are exceeded anymore but that didn't help enough.

I have a high traffic website that is using latest version of apache (2.2.x) with the prefork MPM and apache is optimized, PHP 5.2.5 and APC 3.0.15.

I get 160,000 - 210,000 pageloads per day. 32,000 - 45,000 visits per day.

Most of its pages are PHP but shouldn't be too CPU or databes intensive. Mysql isn't used and I mostly used sharedmem (php's shm functions) for databases. 2 semaphores are quite heavily used but that can't explain how a few more users would make the server serve pages so much slower.

Swap usage is practically 0 and CPU user % usage is like 1 - 2 % and CPU system % is also about the same even during peak times. However the Average Load or whatever that "top" reports is 6 - 9.

My current server scecs: 1 GB Ram, Pentium D 3 ghz, CentOS 5 32bit fully updated.

I load all pictures and even the stylesheet from a secondary server by using href="$secondaryserverIP..." in the html code, so the main server practically just serves the pages.

My new server will have apache with the worker MPM and latest versions of every software. Also its specs are: 2 GB of RAM, Intel Dual Core Xeon 2.40GHz, CentOS 5.1 32bit fully updated.

I have a sophisticated netstat based ddos script that is an improved version of DDoS Deflate and while some of these slowdowns seem to have been caused by attacks that it then was able to defend me from, most of them are not. I am even protected from users who constantly have 7+ connections to my site and if someone has a way too high number of connections, the script won't even check if it constantly has it and the script just bans that user outright. It probably is banning a bunch of innocent proxy users too but that is a small price to pay.

4Gb ram
250Gb SATA
100Mbps connection

and each blog has latest WP version and some plugins(without supercache) installed, 100 unique hits/day.

so how many blogs can I plant in this box?

How To Find Out If A Server Can't Handle All The Incomming Traffic

May 11, 2009

what the max number of hits is a quard core server with RAID disk system can handle, it is running on a Linux with separated MySQL server?

The host says there are no restrictions on the bandwith, but somehow it is strange we always only have MAX 300 users online (24/7/365) now I wonder if it just is that way or if some users might be denied access from time to time when they try to enter some of the websites hosted on the server ?

Maybe you know a monitoring service or something that can tell if this is an issue.

Server To Handle 100s Of New Domain Names

May 11, 2008

We are setting up 100s of new domain names every day. We are only hosting a simple blog, in fact with our current setup we are on a HostGator Reseller account and we are just using one account meaning one single cPanel account.

We have a script that automatically runs when people sign up for our service, this script sets up an addon domain on that same single cPanel account with the same document root. Our modified wordpress blog simply looks at the HTTP_HOST in the config file and opens a separate database tables for every new domain name.

The problem we are running into is not the bandwidth usage, nor storage space. But simply the mass addon domains. The cPanel adddomain.html script seems to be getting ran so many times it is overloading the web server.

So I have read about some other people here WHT that are starting to use a new server software that uses a lot less server resources then WHM and cPanel. So I am wondering what hosting companies can provide that sort of a server.

Specifically:

Storage: A couple hundred GB
Bandwidth: 1000s of GB
Server software to run PHP scripts and mySQL databases
Ability to create 1000s of addon domains every day.

Does this need to be an array of servers?

We are ready to get moving on a deal now.

Configuring Server To Handle Both MySQL And MS Access Databases

Mar 24, 2008

Since I have never worked on the server end of things I had a quick question for all you web hosting gurus.

Is it possible to have PHP installed on ONE single server and still have the ability for the server to work with both MS Access AND MySQL at the same time?

I would think YES, but I am being told by our server branch at my current job that this is not the case. They claim there is no way for the server on one machine to be able to handle both types of databases. Are they right?

If they are wrong and it is possible to have one server run both type of databases, what steps would be necessary to set up the server to handle both types? Do we need to tweak the php.ini file or is there another method of allowing the server the ability to work with both MySQL and MS Access.

Sorry if this question seems stupid or odd, as I said, I have minimal experience on the server end but I am confident that a server can handle both.

Wiredtree Month By Month Review

Jan 28, 2009

I've signed up with Wiredtree for a Managed VPS 12 days ago.

I know it's not enough time to write a review. But I decided to write my first impression then keep you updated by writing a new review at the end of each month, so expect one at 12 February.

For now, these guys are simply the best I've tried.

They reply you in 15 minutes or less and if it took them more, 20 minutes or something, then be sure that they're investigating your problem. If you can't wait for 15 minutes, then go ahead and give them a call on their toll-free number and they'll be with you second by second. Their support wont just solve your problem, but they'll educate you telling you what caused the problem and how did they fix it.

I'm solicitous about security. But with these guys, I finally sleep peacefully knowing that my VPS is well secured.

Looking For A Dedicated Server With 3-4 TB Of Space For ~100 USD A Month

Jan 6, 2009

I'm looking for a server with 3-4 TB of disk space and moderate traffic requirements (1.5-2 TB a month will suffice).

CPU, RAM do not really matter.
Location: EU or US.
Price: ~100 USD a month with some setup fee or ~120 USD without.

So far I found OVH's SP Storage (http://www.ovh.co.uk/individual/products/superplan_storage.xml) which offers 4 x 1.5 TB RAID0/1 drives for a total of 3 TB disk space. However I can't register with them and their sales did not react quickly enough yet to help me.

Is there anyone else with similar offerings with whom you have personal experience?

Can A 256 MB VPS Handle My Traffic

Apr 1, 2008

I've only ever had a shared hosting account with Hostgator, plus a few freebie hosts. However, I'm now pulling some heavy traffic and I'm concerned that Hostgator is going to suspend me soon.

My traffic on Saturday for example was ~2600 unique visitors and ~5000 page views. All of this traffic was from WordPress blogs and a small SMF forum. I've since converted one of the blogs to a static site to limit my CPU usage and I've setup caching for my other WordPress blogs. Advice I've heard on the Hostgator forums is that 7000 page views per day for a database driven site is around the time you should be upgrading and based on my traffic from Saturday (which admittedly was a bit of a spike) I could potentially be receiving 150,000 page views/month, so about 20x the point at which they recommend upgrading at.

Anyhows, in a nutshell I need to upgrade, or risk Hostgator throwing a tantrum at me ... but I don't have a lot of cash to pay for an upgrade Due to my lack of cashflow I've been considering moving to a VPS. The company which has interested me the most is HostV.com who offer a 256 MB (with 1000 MB 'burst' RAM) for only US$39.99 which seems quite reasonable to me.

They say that their 256 MB plan should be able to handle over 5000 page views per day for a WordPress run site, but I'm a little suspect. Do any of you know if this is a reasonable expectation from a 256 MB chunk of a virtual server? I have no idea and am always wary of believing the sales pitch of a random company across the other side of the world.

That Can Handle This Script

Oct 20, 2007

PHPAuction GPL Enhanced V2.51 Auction Software seems to be the perfect solution for my client, but the PHP requirements are very specific and the host we currently are using doesn't allow anyone to play with .htacess which is the usual workaround. Can anyone recommend a host that they know has the following setup?

Minimal server requirements are as follows:
- Apache web server
- PHP 4.0.6 or later (see below) with safe_mode=Off - register_globals=on - no open_basedir restriction
- MySQL Database - 3.0 or higher
- "Cookies" MUST be enabled on your computer!

Alternatively, does anyone know of any auction software that restricts sellers to only the admin?

Leaseweb 3 Month Review [capped Burstable Server]

1 ) Why this review

2 ) Ordering a Server

3 ) Things are running

4 ) DDOS

5 ) 100 mbit burstable @ 8mbit ...?

6 ) beeing d*cks
*Why This Review*
Originally the intention was to forget as soon as possible about what happened in the past three months and to move on with our new isp. To our regret, Leaseweb has besides the overall lack of service in the past months found it neccessary to kill our network connection without notice a day prior to the ending of our contract. Eventhough the impact is minimal, this gesture speaks for itself.
*Ordering a Server*

Having been a leaseweb customer directly and indirectly for several years in theyre budget segment we to be fairly honnest have rarely had any trouble ordering, nor have we had any trouble with the delivery of the purchased servers.

We experienced differently when ordering the following :

Dell Poweredge 1950
2x Quad Core Xeon L5320
16 GB DDR2
4 x 300GB SAS
raid 1+0
IP KVM card
1 x 100Mbps Full-Duplex
10 Mbps (95%) bandwith
SLA : Best Effort
OS : Debian
