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?
We have a video streaming server, sometimes the server gets really slow and when we digg into it, we see that the same ip is trying to download the same file many many times. for example i either run this command
netstat -n | grep :80 | awk '{ print $5 }' | awk -F: '{ print $1 }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
or go to WHM and see the 'apache stats' and i see 100 http connections from the same ip, trying to download the same video 100 times,,,
what is this? is this some sort of attack? could that be 100 different people that use a proxy? or what is going on?
Not sure if this is the appropriate forum to post this question in. If so, please move to the correct forum.
Anytime some creates a new thread or sends a new pm, it will ask them to download the .php page after submitting the POST. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what can I do to resolve it?
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...

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 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 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?

I recently took the AMD opteron special they had going for $69/m which i thought was pretty good but i wont even get to try it
my question. We host around 40 websites that have hundreds of pictures. I have 60gigs dedicated to pictures alone. since we are getting more clients I want to get a bigger hard drive just for the pictures. Since my boss is obssesed with user access times, as in users accessing the pictures on the web on their end, he thinks getting a bigger hard drive will slow down the server and hence slow down access time serving out the pictures to end users. I guess what I'm saying is does a bigger hard drive slow down a website?
Let me know if you need clarification I wasn't sure how to word this.

Just enter the IP,etc and it tells you how many hits,etc on said IP.
I've recently moved server and since then I've had a problem with the main site I administrate. The problem is that when I'm moving around the site I frequently get long lag times between clicking on a link and getting to that next page. This isn't slow transfer speeds - the status bar shows 'waiting for xxxx' for sometimes 15 to 20 seconds. The site makes quite heavy use of a MySQL database and associated forum software.
It was suggested I did some tracerts to see what that showed. The thing is I don't know what the significance of tracert results are! It seems to show lots of timeouts - but then it shows lots of timeouts when I try it on other sites as well, which don't have the same lag problems.
I have no reasons to think it's my host, who are really good and responsive. But my ISP says it's nothing to do with them either. If the routing is a problem, where lies the responsibility for selecting the routes between me and the server to my site?
I'm hoping this is just the link between me and my site, as other site users don't seem to have had a problem yet. I'll post a couple of tracert results in case anyone is able to advise me on what their significance might be.
For some reasons I cant access any of my accounts on my dedicated server via FTP. It simply times out when it tried to display the directories.

I have restarted the FTP service serveral times but still It doesnt loads.
i have windows 03 server getting ddosed many times. attack was upto 2gbit so any way to stop it?
Would a higher connection speed/bandwidth limit help? And about load balancing, would more servers help prevent the DDoS?
if any of you could give a quick idea on the set up times for dedicated servers from ECATEL
I paid 515 euros 9 days ago, and the server still hasn't been set up (Hardware delivery problems I have been told) and before I ordered, they stated the setup time would be 48 hours.
Is this normal? The last email i received from them was 3 days ago.
I find this completley unproffesional, It is always another few days.
What are your experiences with them? I am utterly dissapointed so far.
Anyone else notice random power failures to theirs around 2-6am EST?

I'm looking into knownhost and they offer twice the bandwidth in their California option for the same money. Jay from known host said I should pick the one with the best ping times. I'd like to put the information here so someone might perhaps tell me what my best choice is.
I'll put the stats here and then if you could tell me which one is better (Texas vs. California) that would be great.
But if you think that the times between the two are only marginal (both real good), then could you help me decide about getting double the bandwidth for the same price.
I know nothing of course, but the two data centers look like their both giving great speeds (Texas being better though). But perhaps both speeds are great. If that's the case, can anyone tell me why someone would not take the higher bandwidth offer?
Thanks, I really appreciate any help with this!

About the middle of the month I started to get SMTP service down messages from a service monitor site I had signed up with. Initially I wasn't concerned but I started to get at least one notice a day. I decided to monitor the server a bit more closely so I setup a virtual appliance on my home server to monitor SMTP response times a bit more frequently -- I let the monitoring application run for a few days to gather data and noticed an unusual trend.
SMTP response times would spike dramatically during business hours -- up to almost 19 seconds at some times. However after business hours and on the weekends response times would return to normal.
My mail volume is really low for my VPS so I don't think it is the problem -- I even ran a mail stress test and pushed close to 500 messages through in 30 minutes (more than I normally get in a day) and I didn't see any SMTP response time spikes. I have also set up monitors to watch some other sites I have running on shared servers with other providers and do not see any unusual SMTP response issues with them at all.
