I'm starting to do my homework on a dedicated server and am really not that savvy on what's best for my needs.
Firstly, I'm just trying to determine how much grunt I need and am not really sure of the benefits of multi-core vs single core vs single processor vs multi processor.
I've been running on a low density VPS with 1 Gig ram for a while and it's doing fine but won't handle this setup too much longer. My site does a very high amount of disk read/writing and for the size of my site there are a lot of database calls.
I'm thinking a multi-processor will do wonders for a database intensive site, but will a single multi-core process do fairly well also? My budget is at the low end and obviously I can afford more for a multi-core single processor.
Each Virtual Host redirect to the same folder and same file because everything is in the same project so same entry point (same index.php)
actually if I type each url in a browser, they all redirect to the same part of my project so I added some routes in ZF2 to access to one website and not another :
I'm contemplating whether to get a quad core high clock speed OR 2x quad core lower clock speed processor for my rack server.
The question boils down to.. Does Apache, PHP, and MySQL support multi-threading? Will having a bunch of cores just be a waste if high-traffic web hosting is the primary goal?

I see that there is clearly 2 processors. However, in the section for each processor it says cpu cores :2. Does that make this a dual core dual processor (4 cores)? I also see a core ID, which makes me think possibly it is just 1 processor with 2 cores.
This is for a web/application server running, Windows 2003 Server Professional, IIS, MySQL, MSSQL 2005 Express, Plesk 8.5. The price is about the same.
We are hosting our software system which do calculation and file manipulation. Now we have Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and would like to get Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 to increase our system performance.
Also we have other choice, get Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz to replace two above.
I think it is better to have one server box because one box easy to manage than two. Also Harpertown is much faster than these two together.
We use cpanel on our centos servers and we've updated our servers recently using easyapache to the latest php4 and mod_suphp and I've noticed that in top (running "top c" in shell) all php processes by any user are simply displayed as "/usr/bin/php"
Before this update the processes also showed the file name eg. "/usr/bin/php lamescript.php" which allowed to easily find troublesome scripts ... but now there's no way of knowing what the script in question is that's eating up 100% of the cpu .. or is there?
A little confused about some technical aspects of a setup.
If anyone knows what I am trying to say please advise.
Question :
There are 4 WAN connections. Conn01 = 10mbps upload Line with IP 111.111.111.111 Conn02 = 1mbps upload Line with IP 222.222.222.222 Conn03 = 100mbps download / 1mbpx upload Line with IP 333.333.333.333 Conn04 = Dialup line at 56kbps with IP 444.444.444.444
If I connect all these to a Multi WAN Router lets say Linksys RV016.
1) When a client tries to upload something to the server with IP 444.444.444.444 will it still run at 56kbps or will it be load balanced into the fastest line which is 10mbps.
2) When a Client's server connected at 111.111.111.111 tries to download something from the internet to this multi WAN setup, does he get a max of 10mbps or will he be routed to the 100mbps?
I am currently looking for a new IP KVM. Right now I use a mix of HP and Raritan KVMs and I'm honestly not super happy with either of them. The main feature I'm looking for is the ability to setup multiple users and only allow them to access certain ports/devices on the KVM.
What would be the best IP KVM to look at for this?
We have a need in one of our locations to multi-home ourselves, as the facilities provider doesn't meet our needs. If we get a /24 from one of our upstreams (L3 for example), will they allow us to broadcast it to our other providers as well? Obviously we'll have our own ASN and be doing the routing.
I was on this site a while ago and someone shared a link to a site that would ping a given IP from multiple locations around the globe and give the output. Does anyone know of a site that would do this?
Is "selectable Multi-Language" professional for a hosting company website? and does it attract more clients? I mean giving visitors a drop down menu of some major languages and allow them to select the language of your website. Is it professional to have? attract more clients?
I would like to ask your opinions on the best way to control server services and scripts on different platforms.
Basically i need to execute some command line scripts on a windows server. The way im doing this is vbscript which is called in asp.
What i really want to do is have a central server on linux which i can host a php script and mysql database on which in turn connects to the windows server to execute the vbscript.
Ive always worked with php and mysql so i dont really want to run everything in asp. If i did run everything in asp im not to sure if it would be clever to run asp scripts with mysql and would then have to go to the microsoft sql 2005 route.
So my question is what would be my best way to run php and mysql on a linux server that can in turn connect to a windows server to run a vbscript or execute through command line and log data to mysql, baring in mind authentication and security.
I do have php and mysql set up on the windows server but after alot of trouble getting it running right im not to keen on running the php scripts local, i really need a central linux server for the scripts.
Are there any hosts on the net with reasonably priced true multi site hosting*?
I'd host something like 5-6 small wordpress & blog sites, no special diskspace or bw requirements.
I know Site5 offers something like this, but I'd like something with over 80% uptime
(* By this I mean each site should have its own cpanel & the sites should be completely separate, due to the fact that I'm lazy & don't want to set up domain pointers or whatever they are called.)
I am researching a little on this topic and hopefully someone can shade some light for me.
If I have 2 connections from 2 separate ISPs with each a set of different static IP addresses. Using something like [url]a twin WAN router, does it mean that I could :
1) Still use the Static IPs or must it be the local dynamic ones?
2) Increased speeds? Does it increase or provide a better route for outgoing connections?
3) Shouldn't incoming connections still be the same since they have to travel via a specific path as determined by the ISP?
If I am right, If I use 2 WAN connections, users would have a more stable time trying to download stuff, but when people are requesting files from them ( uploading ) it would depend on which ISP's IP they are connected to?
So If I take 2 100Mps line and use the dual WAN, I can increase downloading speeds butuploading speeds will be unaffected?
