I would like to start a small datacenter within my home, i have about 10 dells server, and i was talking with XO about getting a 100mbits.
What are the steps i would need to start?
What are the equipment i would need?
What if i got a really good connection to this house i have in Sweden and bought some servers there, is it a good idea and would it sell? How hard is it to get a good connection, the house is in a fairly populated area of Sweden and i have partners who could help run it and do support 24 hours.
But its just a thought and we would start small. What do you guys think?
to do a small cdn with servers located in 5 locations. The cdn will be used to serve video, images, but might require also serving other types of files, or even host applications.
Is there a ready to install cdn software/architecture that is tested and works or I will have to start from scratch?
Apple just released a new version of the Mac Mini specifically designed for running as a server. They have removed the optical drive and added a second hard drive (2x500GB).
In my opinion this is really exciting. These little machines rock.
Apple's website does not specifically say, but I assume you can run RAID-1 using those two SATA disks...
Seems like a far price when you bundle Mac OS X Server software.
Anyone know a place that will colo a Mac Mini for under $40?

Shure is that power prices do climb in all the world, but the increases are very steep in some countries like France, Austria or extremely in Switzerland where also surface prices are horrendous. This makes tower or midi cases housing for dedicated servers actually impossible in such places.
My question here; does anyone know, or have the good heart (as this can be seen as business secrecy) to tell where and which kind of servers with standard cpu's (not mobile cpu's) can be bought which have the most little sizes existing? I'm not talking about 1HE servers or Shuttle's, I'm talking about PC's with standard components, which are less big than even Shuttles.
I just read about this Mac Mini colocation service. I currently have a dedicated server, but the pricing of this option is very attractive.
Can this be done effectively from a Mac Mini? I'd be running a number of MySQL databases and about a dozen websites (which I'm currently doing from my dedicated server with no problems).
Anyone have any experience or advice to offer on this path?
This is not as much a complete and full review as some, but I would like to review my current host because they have been very good. As a small prelude, I have been a customer of burstnet a few times and generally got very frustrated with their billing and verification system. Sometimes I only need a server for a month or two then cancel it just as a temporary stop gap for some bandwidth or web space need. I don’t know why but every server I get with them seems to take just under three days to setup where as other companies I have been with achieve setup much, much faster. Don’t get me wrong I am a big fan of burst net for cheap bandwidth, and have voiced my opinion on this before on this forum. They are a good company overall especially for the price you pay.
I was searching for a burstnet reseller, one with a good billing system etc. Just so I didn’t have to deal with that terrible piece of rubbish they have. And I have been with my current host for a few months now. Obviously, knowing they are a reseller will put many people off, as they can go straight to the source. But in my experience, the support they provide (if its not something that requires the burstnet team) and the customer / billing interface available make it all worth while.
Like I said, not a complete review. You can make up your own mind about the burstnet service / network. But I like this reseller and I would recommend them to anyone.
I don't think it got any security feature that allow you to lock the server with key or some sort. what do you guys with SuperMicro mini 14" 1u server do when you deploy it?

what does the bracket do? do i need rails for colo or can the server be mounted on the rack and where do i get the rails for it?
edit: i just read the comment by one buyer.
"Pros: No expenssive rackmount rails required, mounts using the intergrated ears, very good airflow for such small case. Very well built, pretty solid for price range. "
so no rails is required...by intergerated ears i assume he mean the two handle on each side and the bracket can be use to mount the server. how strong are they? Can they really hold the server?
co-location of a mini tower PC I have that hosts a couple of websites. I live in Redmond, WA so anywhere near there or down in Seattle will be fine. Bandwidth wise I only need about 500GB per month. anything fancy just a secure facility with power and network connection.

I want to create a testing environment that is a miniature replication of a full production environment for a web service. From what I understand I'll need three components:
1. A web server

Is there anything else I'll need or anything else I should be mindful of? Looking forward to insight/feedback.

I was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!

I have install VNC on my test VPS.
I download tightvnc and play with it just fine, everything working like it should.
But, I just want to SSH to the VPS and now it give me "Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
I need to know how can I ssh into my vps again.
Can I just reboot the server and relogin again?
I have a dedicated machine with Xen configured... Dom0 stuff runs great.
I have a pre-made image from jailtime.org, with an ubuntu.7-04.img, ubuntu-7-05.xen3.cfg, and ubuntu.swap -- obviously, the actual image, the config file, and the swap file.
Starting it fails:
Code:
$ sudo xm create ./ubuntu.7-04.xen3.cfg
Using config file "././ubuntu.7-04.xen3.cfg".
The config file:
Code:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen"
memory = "256"
name = "ubuntu"
vif = [ 'mac=00:01:02:03:04:07, bridge=xenbr0, vifname=vif1.0' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['file:/home/matt/vms/ubuntu-7.04/ubuntu.7-04.img,sda1,w', 'file://home/matt/vms/ubuntu-7.04/ubuntu.swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
Actually, a couple derivative questions here...
- Are the /boot and /dev/sda1 literal? That is, do they relate to Dom0 names (/boot on the server, and /dev/sda1, my "real" disk), or are they telling the new DomU what to call them?
- I don't want DHCP.... Do I change dhcp to "0" / "false," or do I specify an IP?
I've found a zillion guides out there, and they cover everything about setting up Xen, except for this one part, it seems?
I'm having troubles starting up MySQL. When I run..

So I don't really know what to do. Does anyone have any advice about how I could resolve this issue?
I am thinking of starting VPS hosting.
I asked softlayer, they provide Citrix XenServer for hosting VPS on Linux (i prefer linux).

32 bit or 64 Bit Linux is recommended for VPS hosting?
I'm attempting to start my first website. The good thing is I'm not new to computers, or programming (my main experience is with VB/C#). I don't have any web programming under my belt, but if I had to learn a new language I'm sure I would be fine.
The website I have in mind is mysweetcar.com. It's meant to be for the most part a typical web forum. I would also like the option of adding Paypal or some other basic e-commerce services. I already have the domain name registered. Now, obviously, I'm looking for a host.
The huge number of available hosts and hosting plans is pretty overwhelming. In my research so far I've found quite a bit of inconsistency and what seems to be false or misleading information. Almost every "review" site I've visited feels like its been paid off by the web hosts. In general I'm having trouble finding objective and unbiased analysis.
Heres a good example of my general confusion: The web host ixhosting.com offers 2500GB monthly transfer for only $6.45 a month. Yet on another website, hosting.com, the data transfer is only 25GB a month, and the plan costs $17. Can there really be such a huge difference? I also don't see numbers for bandwidth, for example with the 2500GB plan it wont matter if the bandwidth is poor and the site runs very slow. I also don't trust that the web host will be faithful to the transfer rate they give me. Is there a way I can independently verify what my transfer usage really is?
