For Social Network
Aug 16, 2008I am launching a picture rating social networking website that I am confident will pull in at least 3-4k people on the first day and at least 1.5k for the rest of the month. I'm estimating that I should do somewhere around 50,000 visits the first month.
Why? Because I served as the promotions/marketing director for a site where I produced pretty similar results and am confident I can do the same thing this time around. Now my problem is that I have no idea if this amount of traffic would require a dedicated server or not.
VPS For PHP Social Networking
May 1, 2007I am getting confuse about all those companies and reviews. All reviews tell you different story. Please tell me which review site is reliable and they don't put good review of company just because of affilate.
I need VPS for starting and once we get enough users we will take dedicated. So which VPS hosting company should I choose to start with minimum?
Hosting For Social Networking
Apr 1, 2008I am building a social network site, and I'm very skeptical about the offer the social networking company had for hosting (mainly storage and bandwidth costs). They are hosted through AT&T, and did the whole "tier 1" ******** speech, and wanted to charge $179/mbps/month, $1.17/GB for CDN storage, and $1/GB for normal storage.
I know these prices are high, and to make it worse, they offered no scalability whatsoever on this. This is a big problem, as I expect the site to be popular. I did some research, and know the prices for storage have deep discounts when buying in bulk, but not sure about scalability of bandwidth costs.
I did find several price structures for bandwidth. One of these was for HostPortal, and showed deep discounts as the bandwidth needs increased (colocated prices as low as $50 per mbps once you get above 100mbps total)
Can anyone please shed some insight on the pricing, and let me know if the scalability listed by HostPortal is common and applicable to my situation. Also, if my situation is different, can anyone give me fair market rates with regards to scalability
Also, most social networking companies restrict me from hosting it myself (they state to protect their code).
How Should I Host My Social Networking Prototype
Oct 7, 2009I'm working on a social networking prototype that will hopefully soon become a beta with moderate user load. I have zero experience in the field of web hosts other than rolling out a web application in an internal server at my last job.
The application is being developed in C#/ASP.NET 3.5 with MS SQL Server.
1. Given the fact that I'm trying to save on costs now and worry about scale later, how much would you think that I should spend on hosting? I figured that I'd have my SQL Server instance and the web app on the same box and it wouldn't really matter too much. Would a dedicated server be a minimum requirement? Or perhaps 2, with one hosting the database and the other hosting the application?
2. Does anyone recommend or disapprove of cloud computing?
3. Are there any other factors I must take into consideration? I'm quite ignorant on these matters, and am more focused and knowledgeable on actual development.
Best Host For Social Network Site?
Feb 12, 2008I plan on starting a social networking website similar to facebook using this script: www.socialengine.net
After talking to a host gator associate he mentioned that the only way to get it up was to buy a dedicated server because they won't allow it on any of their shared plans
My question is, which host/plan would you recommend for this particular project...we won't be offering photo albums and such but are expecting quite a bit of traffic and don't want the site to slow down or crash..also, any tips for a first timer?

Hardware Resources And Social Network
Jul 18, 2007I have an idea for a social network that could attract something like 100.000 niche users and maybe more. What kind of hardware requirements would that take to accomodate properly? I wouldn't want to cause a diminishing of the userexperience with slow loadtimes etc.

Jun 23, 2008Run a small but fast-growing social network and we're getting to the point where our email notifications (e.g., SoAndSo Added You as a Friend) isn't scaling and we need to find an alternative solution. We're going to be sending out 1,000+ notifications a day and one option would be to run Postfix (or something similar) on our servers. Of course the challenge with this is message delivery. Our concern is that even if abide by strict protocols and give our people unsubscribe options we'll still get listed as Spam. Some of the hosted services seem to have solutions that help with this given that they have good relationships with major ISPs, email hosts, etc.

Jun 25, 2007I am currently running a web site that does benchmark tests. The thing is the graphs could definitely be more visually appealing than what they are now. I am good at programming with Alias Maya, so I could definitely automated 3D Image generation for the charts.
I would think, just jump right to the dedicated Windows server... but is that really necessary? If the VPS was just used for this one purpose, and nothing else. It would only need say 1GHZ of processing power, and maybe 512MB of RAM. Granted it would be slower, but it would still do what I need it to do.
Is this possible on a Windows VPS? I would think it could be... but you guys might no better.
I really don't want to throw down 200 a month for this just yet, 50-80 a month wouldn't hurt as much though.
Google App Engine As CDN?
Jul 19, 2008I have a site with heavy use of large and small images. The site gets majority of traffic from US and Asia. Using a CDN for JS, CSS, site images and user uploaded images will help the site a lot to speed up.
One of the cheaper options is Cachefly which I was considering, until I found an article about using Google's App Engine as CDN. http://www.google.com/search?q=google+app+engine+cdn
I think it is very inexpensive way to put your content on a CDN. Has anyone tried App Engine as a CDN? Does anyone know if they serve content from local servers in Asia, Europe or is the content served from US?

How Many Resources For A Search Engine
Jan 8, 2007I am thinking about creating my own search engine and I was wondering what some basic server hardware would be required to do this (e.g., RAM, hard drives, memory, storage space). Would I have to run a minimum of 1TB on storage and 4 to 6GB of ram to do it right?

Low Cost VPS Engine Required - Hypervm Or Other
Jun 13, 2008I require a VPS system for my main dedicated (Softlayer, 4GB ram - to become 8gb ram after implementation, Dual Xeon 4 CPU).
I need to decide whether to use HyperVM (Lxlabs) or some other sort of system (Not Viruozzo had a bad experience with them a few months ago). I want something good and easy setup and efficient. I don't require EYE-CANDY.
I need to know what you recommend and what is easy to setup. I could also pay a third party organization for setting it up (if they have the knack for it and experience).
I would like to know everyone's experience (hosts and users) on what they like or prefer (except Virtuozzo/Parallel which I wont even consider anymore).
Also my main server has CPanel with around 100 web sites already on. Can I install hypervm or such on the existing server or do I need a fresh server for the same. The VPS accounts based on hypervm or such will end up having cpanel vps licensing anyhow since I am pro-CPanel (anti Parallel) (No plesk)

RewriteRule (/(?:site|member|search|Pd{1,8}).*) /index.php?$1 [I,L]

How Does Google App Engine Compare To Web Hosting Plans?
Apr 2, 2009Google App Engine offers free quotas of 1 GB outbound traffic per day and 6.5 CPU-hours (based on a 1.2 GHz Intel x86 processor) per day.
How do those free quotas compare to web hosting plans? For example, the traffic supported by the free quotas -- is that
generally higher or less than the traffic supported by a typical $5/mo shared hosting account?
Above the free quotas, Google charges $0.12 per GB outgoing traffic, $0.10 per GB incoming traffic, $0.10 per CPU-hour, $0.15 per GB storage per month.
How do those numbers translate to normal web hosting plans? For example, the traffic that can be supported by a $40/mo VPS plan and $200/mo dedicated server plan, what would they cost on Google App Engine?
I know it depends on a lot of factors, but if anyone has any ballpark estimates or experiences they're willing to share I'd really appreciate it.
I'm trying to decide between App Engine and standard web hosting for a DB-backed Python site. The site will start small, but if the traffic grows I want to see which would be a better option long term.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHow To Protect The Web Site Created On The Phpizabi Engine
Jul 18, 2007How to hack a website at phpizabi engine?!
keywords:
?L=, cecen hacked, cecen, hacked, phpizabi hacked, How to hack phpizabi
Hacking mechanism:
1. this is not hacking indeed. This is usage of phpizabi engine imperfection
Usually the path till the admin area looks like this:
?L=admin.general.configure
If changing the path to
?L=admin//general//configure
Then anyone can obtain full access to the admin area and can do everything he wants.
Similarly changing the path till any keyword file on the web site you can freely get the access to the database.
HOW TO CORRECT THIS ERROR:
mechanism:
1. Below I’ll show an example on how to correct the imperfection of phpizabi engine. This is only example and I recommend all the programmers to code by themselves their own mechanism of this error correction. Unque character of this mechanism will be one more obstacle against hacking.
So, in the very beginning of the script index.php we should put the following code:
$ser_p = array("'[^.A-Za-z0-9]*?'si");
$rep_p = array("");
$_GET = preg_replace($ser_p,$rep_p,$_GET);
It cleans everything from the query except “dots”, “letters” and “digits”.
2. All the folders in main directory of the web site which are located under the path /pages/ should not be accessible for opening!
The easiest and fastest way is to set password access for all the folders in /pages/ through «Password Protect Directories» - this is client’s admin area on the hosting. You should set password to all except “chat” and “gallery”.
3. File upload:
By default any file can be uploaded for scripts phpizabi for dating web sites. They could be uploaded like a picture for gallery or attached file for other web site elements.
Specially created *.php file which will be loaded at the server, can give full access to hacker and finally to walk away it from you!
I do not enclose the correction code of this error as you should restrict file uploading on the server by the class objects jpg/jpeg, gif and png.

Also, is it better to start small and upgrade as more visitors come? Or is it just better to get a big server?
Will Canadian IP Adress Affect Search Engine Rankings
May 10, 2008I am considering a server from Iweb wich is based in Canada.
My question is about search engines especially google. My site will be targeting US visitors and I am in the US.
