Tera-Byte.com Is This Typical
Jul 20, 2008
I recently took over as webmaster for my employer. We want to move to a CMS (Wordpress) for our site. We've had a shared account with Tera-Byte for years. I go to install Wordpress and it says it needs MYSQL version 4 of greater.
Tech support is willing to move me on to a newer server that has MYSQL 4, but doing so would mean copying everything over and reconfiguring anything that needs to be reconfigured (i.e., all our staff's email accounts) from scratch. Is this standard practice?

I'm trying to improve the performance of my website and noticed that https pages take really long to load:
[URL] ....
[URL] ....
It appears this problem is caused by using https, because when I open my site without https it loads pretty quickly.
[URL] ....
From what I can see it appears that the main problem is the time to first byte, so my question is how can I reduce this?
My virtualhost for SSL is set like this:
Quote:
<VirtualHost 46.249.47.12:443>
DocumentRoot "C:Program Files (x86)Apache Software FoundationApache24htdocssite 2"
ServerName www.elitegameservers.net
ServerAlias elitegameservers.net
ErrorLog "logs/xgclan.com-error.log"
[Code] ....
I have replaced the real paths with "PATH" for security reasons. How to reduce the time to first byte in general. I tried setting up memcache to accomplish this but I didn't notice any changes...
This is my mem cache config:
Quote:
<IfModule mod_mem_cache.c>
CacheEnable mem /
MCacheSize 10000000
MCacheMaxObjectCount 100000
MCacheMinObjectSize 1
MCacheMaxObjectSize 262144
</IfModule>
Update: Just ran the openssl speed command [URL] ....

I've had my account less than 2 months. In that time, my account was actually usable, a couple of weeks. I've now been waiting for a resolution to the "Out of Space" errors for nearly 7 days. The most recent communication was this morning (one of only two responses in 7 days) stating that he would "try moving your account to a newer server. I should have another update later today." It has been 6 hours since that message and still no resolution.
BQ has a very good reputation around here. So, I was very hopeful that they would live up to that reputation. However, 7 days to resolve an issue doesn't seem all too responsive to me. Apparently, I'm not the only one who has experienced this same problem of delayed responses and slow resolution.

Before you ask... yes, I used the correct email for support.
So, I have to ask... Is this typical of the support that I should expect? If I have to ever restore my data, will it take a weeks to resolve any issues that I may experience?

I am using dreamhost... I sort of like their user interface. It's definitely better than cpanel...
Recently I was told to move to PS because I am using too much CPU. I finally agreed to move even though the server was working fine...
Then I finally manage to lower CPU usage by 90%... However, I am not allowed to go back to reseller server because I am using too much memory...
If I run top this is what I see:

So Most of the memories, 12 M each, are taken by dhapach. Each of my site loaded within less than 1 seconds on average. However, somehow I got lots of sleeping process that just sleep for minutes eash...
I called die at the end of my program to ensure that processes finish quickly...
What's typical TOP command in dreamhost look like? Is it common to have lots of dhapache thing?

I've checked the average page download time that the Googlebot reports in Google Webmaster Tools and, from what I've seen elsewhere, I think the number is good -- less than 200 milliseconds. However, my pages are compressed and small (>1.5K). This gives me a download time of ~7500 bytes/sec for the Googlebot.
what kind of page download speeds do others get with Googlebot? What's typical/good/bad?

I believe there is a gap in my understanding of VPS with regards to just how much control you really have over the system. VPS gives you "root access" which typically means top-level access... but in reality, the true super user is a boot-up console user. Few VPS providers that I've investigated offer console access to your VPS while booting.
What, than, can be done about system upgrades or using advanced features like root filesystem encryption? Say, for instance, that my provider offers openSUSE 10.1 and I want 10.2. I would be loath to do such a thing if I can't reboot and watch things as it goes. What if the upgrade failed and you need to drop to a single-user mode to fix it?
Or maybe my real misunderstanding here is that you can't upgrade a system in a VPS if the provider doesn't offer the upgrade?
And what if I want my entire system (other than a boot partition) to be encrypted. This would include an encrypted root and swap. This also requires a password at bootup well before any services (like sshd) start.
Again, maybe the real answer is that I can't do that at all anyway and so it doesn't matter.

I've taken the scalable approach when it comes to servers for my various sites. With shared servers, I never really worried about backup or even hard drives going down. Same goes for VPS. For some reason, when I moved to dedicated servers, I outfitted them with 74GB SATA drives in a RAID setup. My understanding is that it protects me if one drive happens to fail. I've been lucky and haven't had that problem.
I'm at the point now where I'm looking to upgrade from a VPS paying around $75 per month to a dedicated server. I can stand to be down a day if a hard drive goes, if it means $75 a month in savings. My biggest concern would be suggestions on the best way to protect myself in the event of a catastrophe.
Contacted SoftLayer about possibly adding a second server for me and honoring the price I'm paying on my old server.
Finally, both the old and new site are seeing roughly 3,000 visits per day. The server I'm considering is a Clovertown 5320 1.86 dual quadcore, 4GB RAM, RAID, 2 74GB Cheetah drives,100mbps, 2000GB bandwidth. Is this overkill or the right server for the job?

I just got 2 dedicateds, and while creating software raid 1, upon initial sync up I'm getting around 7 megabytes per second (6700 kb/s) in write speed I assume.
This is a quad core, sata2 setup...

Is 40 max_user_connections for MySql typical in a Shared Hosting environment? Or are there Shared Hosts out there that allow more than 40 max_user_connections per account?
