VPS To Grow And Learn On
Oct 31, 2007
I was wondering if anybody had a suggestion of what to look for in a VPS that I could use to learn and grow on. I generated a decent-sized web application (PHP5/MySQL) and I'm looking to grow in userbase and features.
I started it on Lunarpages shared hosting (which was a nightmare) before realizing I needed something a little better. I ended up switching over to WestHost and I've been very happy with them for a few years now. Though some may argue it's not a "true" VPS, it's done everything I wanted it to do so far and been quite reliable. It was a great stepping stone.
My site has been growing, as have my service plans, budget, and aspirations. I like to learn by getting my hands dirty, and I wanted to learn some of the more advanced aspects of running a webserver, so I'm in the market for a VPS with more freedom.
What VPS features or aspects should I keep an eye out for if I'm looking to both learn about the server and expand (aka do development work) at the same time? Benchmarks, RAM and CPU? Upgradability, managed and good support? CPanel, DA, Plesk? Snazzy logos and plan names?

I have a database which is growing to have about 100 tables. These tables will grow in size and sometime I will need to use RAID 5, I am told by my server provider.
My questions are:-
1. if these other servers are mirrors, should I have the database stored on each server?
2. when one server gets too busy, does the RAID query a lesser-used server so as not to bog down the first one?
3. Or, do I need to have different content in each db on each server so a query gets what it needs form each?

I am leaning towards people who made the switch from reseller to vps. I dont know much about servers and getting managed servers become pricy so i just want to know how you learned.

at 6 in the morning sa-learn / spamtrain starts to learn from junk mails.This causes high load on the system und takes about 2-3 hours.Is there any way to change the time to some hours earlier to avoid high load in office hours?
nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1
... to solve the issue, that it didn't seem to have any effect to your CPU/IO usage. Please try as well the full path, if you experience issues, as for example:
/usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1. Please make sure, that "nice" and "ionice" are located at the given paths and don't just copy&paste the suggestion with the whole path - usage ( you could use "locate nice" / "locate ionice" to verify the paths ).
You asked as well for a different execution time, to avoid high usage during office hours. I would recommend to try several spamtrain - cronjobs, which you might setup with
For Plesk 11 you would use:
nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f execute-spamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f execute-spamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1
For Plesk 12 you would use:
nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f ExecuteSpamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1 /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f ExecuteSpamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1
or use the direct command with: nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/spamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1/usr/bin/ nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/spamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1
If you still would like to exclude one of the daily DailyMaintenance - cronjobs from your "50plesk-daily" script, you have to modify the line /usr/local/ psa/ bin/ sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1
to all different parts like:
/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f Plesk-COMMAND-name1
/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f Plesk-COMMAND-name2
/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f Plesk-COMMAND-name3
where you have to leave out the commands, which should not be executed daily. ( Please see the current Plesk-commands for the DailyMaintenance - script with "/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -l" and be aware that Plesk 11 and Plesk 12 have different commands! )
From time to time, it is wise to clean up the spamassassin - database ( as you already found out with the linked forum-thread), but I would recommend a 6-month-cronjob and not a monthly one. that spamtraining with spamassassin can be very time investing and you should try out addons, filters and rules to find the most efficient configuration for each, unique server - unfortunately there is no "best-for-all" solution.
