VPS Recommendation For Flash Game Website?
Jun 14, 2007
I was wondering if anyone could please recommend a good VPS for a flash games website I run. I am currently with Godaddy VPS, but have had too many problems so I am going to cancel my account (once I have found a new host)
What I would like:
Control Panel: Either CPanel or Plesk (not fussy)
Good support - I am relatively new to the VPS world.
RAM: 256 MB (with option to be upgraded if needed)
Bandwidth: 2TB (with option to be upgraded if needed)
Diskspace: 5GB +
Budget: Under $100 US

Im looking at setting up what is essentially a flash game arcade. It will have other purposes, but flash games will be the focus point.
One of the first things I need to decide (along with a website name...) is which hosting company I want to go with. The only company Ive used before were Dreamhost, who had fairly good service but the uptime didnt seem all too great.
Initially there will only be a small amount of traffic, but I want the option to scale my hosting plan easily as I (hopefully) gain more visitors.
A lot of the game files will be lifted from the mochi games feed, but dont want to limit myself to games hosted by mochi, and I still want to be able to cope if I get any big traffic spikes. I also want to host a couple of other smaller sites on the hosting plan, but they shouldnt reach anything near the arcade.
MediaTemples Grid service looks great, but will probably be providing a far greater service than ill need for the first few months. I dont know how long it will take for me to get any decent amount of traffic, the majority of which ill be getting through self sponsorship of games, and I imagine its a fairly slow process getting a decent stream of visitors through that way.
I just dont wanna be paying $100's for serious hosting if I only get a few thousand hits in the first 6 months, which I imagine is likely!
Does anyone have any suggestions for good companies or starter packages? I dont want to pay through the arse, but I would rather pay more for a faster and more reliable service than go for the cheapest option - I want this to be a quality site.

I know this question has been asked millions of time on this forum, but my situation is somewhat unique. I need some options to where I can host my website at. Here are the requirements:
-10gb to 20gb of space
-Anywhere from 500gb to 700gb of bandwidth with path to upgrade to more if necessary
-LINUX OS
-PHP5/MySQL5 with cpanel(I'm more accustomed with cpanel)
-No preference to it being dedicated, VPS, colocated, etc. but must have options do upgrade later if necessary
-less than $500 per month(is this possible ?)
This will eventually be a gaming website, but the games will be downloaded and run on the clients' machine. There will be a lot of database interactions, so please take that into consideration if necessary. Rackspace was mentioned to me, and seem to come with great reviews on this forum. However, I need more options.

I have been experimenting with Fedora 8 as a desktop (64 bit). It is quite good. The only problem I have encountered is using the latest flash. For some reason it actually turns off the computer randomly. I reverted to an older version and it doesn't happen. I am running kde, it behaves the same with gnome or xfce so I know it's not the desktop I am using. It could be nspluginwrapper however, I uninstalled that and tried 32 bit Firefox and it also crashes.
I probably should be in the Fedora forum but I was wondering if anyone else had seen this. I am running AMD X2 5000, 4gb ram, NV 7300.

I have a vbulletin 3.6x forum using IBproarcade module with 200+ games. They all work fine, but during play it seems choppy. I've duplicated this in Firefox 2 (also in new profile) and also IE7. I'm trying to figure out why its choppy (on and off) on any game. Any ideas to trace this or enhance the performance? This is a personal server with a few domains on the box and not an enormous amount of traffic in general, nor at once....

I have a question regarding these two services.
With Windows Streaming Services on quad hyperthreading server I was pushing almost 1 Gb/s traffic. With Flash streaming so far we didn't get any high traffic customer. I am curious if what is the max traffic from a single server pushed you've seen by using Adobe Flash (commercial, not red5) server?

I've recently moved to a new provider and noticed that one of my sites that was using a flash file uploader without any problems now receives a 406 error whenever a file upload finishes.
After some digging online i found that the problem could be caused by mod_security and found a tutorial which explains that by using .htaccess u can disable mod_security for the particular domain. I've tried that but receiving internal server error who seems to indicate that mod_security is not actually running.
I looked at the domain's error log file and no entry is being written to the log when the error occurs.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix it? Or at least where to look for the causes.
I'm using the following flash uploader:

Server is running CentOS and WHM .. the original server that didnt have a problem with the uploads was running Fedora and WHM.

Here you can see the problem and I am unsure how to fix it.
I am using a phproxy script on this domain
www.youtubetvshow.com
When you browse through this site, and look at youtube.com and try and watch a video, it does not allow you to view the flash.
I know this script works as I was using it on my past server.
My server is running on CentOS, with WHM
Does anyone know how to fix this on my server so people can view flash through my proxy site?

I tried to post this request before but my post got deleted ( I think because I was new to this forum ) hopefully this time it will get posted.
I bought a flash live chat script which require a dedicated server as they say in the script requirements but I know it would work using a VPS with root access..
The script can run on both Linux and Windows OS and needs red5 and java
according to the script designers such site with about 100 users can use about 500GB of data transfer per month but I am not sure if that is true or not as I haven't had the chance to test it.
I am donating all the expenses as a gift for my church community and looking for help and advise on the best way to host it
Not sure if I can post the name of the script here or not but if I am allowed I will do that, so you guys can see exactly what I need
Anyone know about these scripts and how much bandwidth and data they need to run lets say with 200 users

I will be deploying a full-flash site for a customer. He wont experience that much traffic at once - I would say at most, one to three customers on at one time and most of the day the site would not have more than one client on at a time.
Will a VPS with the specs below with barely any other sites on the VPS be able to present this high-quality flash site in a fast manner. I understand that there is a whole world of optimizing flash which is what my designer is trained in but does anyone have any expereince deploying full flash sites on a VPS. I'm curious to get people's expereinces.
VPS Specs(VPS at knownhost at colo4dallas):
Plesk
Equal Share CPU(10-20 other customers on the node)
320 MB Guranteed RAM
1024 Burst RAM

I am thinking about making a web site that streams HD movies and videos that I have created myself. I was wonder could you use Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 to do so I know i would have to buy a dedicated server and a fast one with a good load of bandwidth. The big question am asking is that can you base a website or content management system around the interactive server.

how to optimize a server for playing flash videos?
Here is our website: operationsports.com
In the right menu you'll notice an embedded flash video player.
Often, we receive complaints that our videos are buffering slowly at the beginning causing the movie to stop/pause for a few seconds. After this pause the remainder of the video buffers lightening quick.
I'd like to remove the pause if possible.
The server is a dual processor linux based server dedicated entirely to our video files.
It has plenty of power.

I have a colocated server with cpanel right now.
The cPanel license on my server just expired and I don't feel like paying for another month as there's 3-4 sites on that box that are still active.
I pay $80 a month for the colo with cpanel
So my questions are
1) What do you recommend (reseller vs vps) and who do I go with
2) How do I get my 4 sites off to the new cpanel with an expired license?
If anyone can help that'd be great. Looking to move within 48 hours

I've been reading a lot on this forum lately for a good VPS solution for me, but I've not been too lucky. Perhaps I am just too lazy to read all the posts.
At any rate, I've been with Alpha Red for about a year now and I feel I need to get something new (been having some problems with my mail server and speed, and since it isn't managed, I don't want to worry about fixing it myself). Thus, I am looking for a good VPS solution.
My needs aren't critical, most personal/business type sites, with some client hosting (clients can get very demanding traffic, however, as they will commonly get featured on Digg or YouTube). Because of the clients, I feel I need something clustered with redundancy. I tried out Mosso and just couldn't stomache the simplicity and lack of control.
Disk space would be around 10GB or higher, bandwidth around 500GB or higher (1TB would look amazing to me), and managed is really a plus. However, my budget is only around $150/mo (currently paying $139 for a very slow dedicated server).
I've been tempted to try MediaTemple, but recently looked at Zone.net's clustered VPS, and KnownHost.

opinion about what E-mail would be the best as a autoresponder and email campaign program. Something that can be configured to forward emails to different addresses from different recipients, automatic responces and scheduled email campaigns, all that kind of things. I would prefer an open source solution but if not any I would pay for that.
how to extract the text from an incoming email (through a script maybe) and input to another ougoing email?

I plan to host 20-40 domains that will include ~20 blogs total and roughly 20 SQL DB's. I anticipate 5-10 GB traffic / month.
With these requirements, can I realistically make use of a shared hosting plan (like HostGator's)? They claim unlimited domains, though I'm not sure how far I can really take this.
Update: shame on me: GB's, not TB's
