What Server Specification Do I Need For Social Networking
Apr 25, 2007I am doing on social networking project and I am wondering what specifications of server do we need so I can send it to my programmer to find proper hosting. I have no idea about it, please can you help me.
We are expecting at starting about 4.000 registered users.
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.
VMWare Server Networking
Oct 19, 2007Recently, I installed VMWare Server 1.0.4 on my dedicated server.
When I tried to install my private IP on my VMWare, I had no clue how to do that. I used NAT networking to share my main OS with my private VPS, but when I try to run a service that needs the port XXXX to be open, it wouldent let me use it.
For an example, my main OS IP is 82.00.000.000. My VPS is sharing the same IP address with the main OS. I tried to run an Apache service on my VPS, but when I try to access it by the IP 82.00.000.000 it gives me a connection reset page.
This also happens on other services like FTP and stuff.
My VPS is running Windows XP Professional SP2 with a legal retail license and my main OS on the server is CentOS 4.5
VMWare Server 1.0.4 - Windows XP Networking
Oct 20, 2007I installed VMWare Server 1.0.4 on my dedicated server, and set-up a new Windows XP Professional VM.
I have 3 more IP's that are not used.
When installing the VM, I used NAT networking to share my main OS network with my private VPS, but basically no one can access the VM from the outside world. I can surf the net while being on NAT status in the VM, but if I try to run any service like Apache, no one can enter to the service besides the localhost.
My VPS is running Windows XP Professional SP2 with a legal retail license and my main OS on the server is CentOS 4.5 (detailed hardware is mentioned below)
Do you have any idea how can I configure my network so anyone can enter the VPS?
And please, if you can explain me step by step because I'm a real newbie hehe

Web Space Storage Or Get Additional Space From Another Server
Oct 14, 2008im running out of space on one of my sites but i have more then plenty of data transfer.
Unfortunately my hosting packaged it weird where they provide not enough hd space. Im trying to figure out is there a way where i can use another server or hosting company that can provide space only and use their servers just for space?
i think amazon.com offered this but wasnt sure how exactly this works.
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.

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.

Networking Infrastructure
Nov 20, 2008I am currently looking for a managed hosting solution for a small start-up.
The site will have a repository of articles in it, these will initially solely consist of documents (av. 2mb in size) and (based on performance) may be expanded to containing video/audio, however this is not likely to happen within (at least) the next six months.
The site will be running on a Linux server (we will not be considering any Microsoft products), using PHP 5 and MySQL 5. There will be a registration form and users will (based on performance) eventually be able to upload articles to the site.
We have contacted various hosting providers (am in talks with Rackspace, Rochen and Network Redux) and have had everything from SAN to a 500GB (RAID 1) recommended to us.
As the site is still currently in Beta with nothing in it and proposed launch date is March 09, I would be grateful if anyone who was in a similar position could inform me how their infrastructure evolved as the site demanded more resource.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read my query.

Mar 16, 2007I'm experiencing some odd issues, I have a cpanel setup, however on port 2086 the server is currently listening however on port 80 it fails to listen. Apache is running and no errors appear in the errors log.
Running ifconfig shows that there are errors and dropped packets.
I was changing ip routes earlier that day however all seems fine...
Oddly I can ping internally on the network and noticed a number of other servers in the broadcast range. These respond fine, however pinging google or outside the data center fails.
ping google.com

Networking Theory
Sep 30, 2007I have a question: I was asked this on an interview, now I am good at home networking but nothing enterprise and this was not for a networking position but for data entry and possibly some ASP NET coding.
I was asked if you had two nics on one server each connected to a seperate switch with different IPs and subnets what possible problems could arise?
Note I am curious about this I do not plan on leanring more about networking then curiosity which this is.
Windows Networking
Dec 23, 2007I have 3 computers networked, 2 of them connects to each other for filesharing just fine, but the 3rd one is having problems.
on the 3rd computer, it can access the other 2 for file sharing, but is 'NOT' accessible from the other 2. when try to access the 3rd computer through 'network places', i get the error: "//COMPUTER is not accessible. You might not have permission...."
however, if I actually type in "COMPUTERsharedfolder" - to access the 3rd computer, I can, so basically, I CANT access "COMPUTER" but CAN access "COMPUTERsharedfolder" ..

How To Setup Networking For KVM Guests
Oct 29, 2009I have a server with CentOS 5.4 with 5 IPs. Now i want to spare 1 IP for the host, and create 4 virtual machines, each with 1 dedicated IP and has direct access to internet (virtual machines created with KVM come with NAT as default)
Anyone can point me to a tutorial or tell me how to setup networking for this ? Working over GUI is not possible since i only have ssh access and don't want to install X just to install things. Is it possible to use Xen networking scripts for KVM guests ? I have tested Xen on my server and its default networking setting worked ie with guests have direct connection to internet.
Confused About VMWare Networking
Jan 15, 2008I have two servers with SL- both running Windows with two NICs for Private and Public Interfaces.
What I want to do is keep the first server Internal only, so basically, just disable the Public Network interface in Windows. On this Server, I want to create a VM that can network with the server as well as the second server and any VMs on that second server.
The second server will have both the Public and Private Interfaces enabled. On this server, I will have two VMs and both of these VMs should be able to access both the host PCs, each other, as well as the VM on the first server. Additionally,t These two VMs should also be able to access the Internet.
What would be the best way of going about this configuration.
Right now, I've just started and on the first server, created a VM using a bridged connection to the Private Network. I've give the VM an IP address in the same range as the host PC that is part of the block that SL has reserved for me. However, I cannot ping the host PC from the VM and vice versa. Firewall is disabled on the VM at the moment so I know that is not the issue.

VMWare - WinXP As Guest On CENTOS - Networking
Sep 8, 2007OKay here is the set up:
I have a CENTOS 64bit running, with 1 guest OS (WinXP) in a VMWare Server. I have tried the following: I have 6 public IP's attached to my 1 Ethernet card in the CENTOS host.
Try 1:
The Guest OS is set to use "Bridged" Networking. This allows full use of the internet, in both directions. Not exactly optimal, but it does work. I can reach the Guest via RD, which is a requirement for this client. The guest OS is mainly assigned one of the 6 public IP's (x.x.x.118). The problem with this setup is the Guest OS can not reach the host. For example the host has a mail server on it, and when the Guest tries to reach the host, it times out.
Try 2:
The Guest OS is set up to use "NAT" and gets 192.168.100.128 as its IP via DHCP inside of VMWare. The nat config file for VMWare is set to open port 3389 (RD port). Guest OS can reach the host with out any problem, and can reach the internet with out any problem, however I can not RD in to the Guest OS.
I prefer setup number 2 for all the obvious reasons, but I just can not get my IPTables rules to work. This is what I thought should work, but does not:
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d x.x.x.118 -j DNAT --to-destination=192.168.100.128
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.128 -j SNAT --to-source=x.x.x.118
I realize that would have done all traffic, and defeated the benefits of NAT,but since forwarding only 3389 was not working I tried forwarding everything.
Any suggestions?

View 4 Replies View RelatedLinux Advanced Networking: Forwarding / Cloning UDP Traffic
May 8, 2009I am trying to find an application that can listen on a given UDP port, say "6271" and forward all traffic (UDP) sent to that port to another IP (not on the same subnet).
I should not call this forwarding, but instead, cloning (because forwarding usually is only on the same subnet or vlan). The packets should not be modified, (thus IP information in packet ect.)
Is this possible? I have tried some applications such as,
samplicator
