I'm currently hosting my website on core2duo / 2GB RAM dedicated server. Thing is, programmer did a VERY good job optimizing scripts and this server is way too much than I need. The average server load is usually 0.00 - 0.20. I'm thinking of switching to either a cheaper dedicated server or VPS.
We use 300GB-1TB of bandwidth per month though. 90% of our traffic is from US. Do you know any good VPS solution for this?
I was wondering, when evaluating a colo facility...obviously the bandwidth quality is important.
Which BW providers are considered good, and which ones are considered to be bad?
Its a video and picture sharing website for India.
In the first 1-2 months, I will need around 250GB storage and 2TB bandwidth per month. After that, I will need much more. I have no idea how much I bandwidth may need. So I may go to a 50Mbps unmetered bandwidth; to limit my bandwidth cost.
My budget is around $400 per month. I want to have server(s) in west coast as it will be closer to India.
I have narrowed down to FDCServers and AlphaRed; as they both offer unmetered bandwidth for cheap. I will start with metered bandwidth and then go to unmetered bandwidth when my bandwidth demands exceeds.
I have 4 very low traffic websites hosted with Godaddy on a single hosting account. The thing is that I like their email interface and I totally hate cpanel webmail.
Godaddy webmail is pathetically slow these days and I am thinking of moving hosts. Is there any other webhost with a nice webmail interface such as GoDaddy's?
a nice provider for secondary dns services?
Is dyndns good?
How do i know the amount of ram allocated to me?
How will i know if my account is allocated with the ram i bought.
How will i know if my host is over selling?
My sites are going down frequently, I have to restart apache to get them back.I checked the cpu and memory usage logs on whm, and they are well with in limits.
But my hosting support fellow is saying other wise.

Our logs indicate that from time to time your VPS is going above the RAM Guarantee, this puts your services in danger of going offline until the RAM usage is back under the guarantee. If you continue to see these problems, we recommend either reducing the RAM usage by disabling any unused services, purchasing a guaranteed RAM upgrade, or upgrading to the next plan, to help alleviate the problem.
I've been with zone.net for a couple months now, and I have a guaranteed 512MB of memory, which I seem to constantly be hitting, which seems to result in processes being killed and http access vanishing. Growing quite annoying.
I'm looking into moving onto a new provider that can provide more guaranteed RAM for about the same price.
Space isn't a huge deal, I'd do fine with a meager 5GB. Bandwidth I need at least 200GB, but wouldn't mind more.
I'd like to stay managed if possible, as I'm not as well versed in server workings as I should be. Also am in need of cPanel, which I know is a spendy sucker.
My budget is something around $70 a month, and I don't really want to go much higher than that. Still a poor college boy :/
Can anyone suggest such a provider? I've browsed around a lot of the VPS hosts but can't seem to find one that has as much RAM as I need for a decent price. All the ones that seem to have 512MB+ are pretty expensive, and offer a lot more other stuff (space/bandwidth) than I need.
As a final note, the line speed isn't that big of a deal. I'm currently on a 3mbit and am surviving, but going back to a higher speed line would be great
I noticed that my server load sometimes increases to up to 4-5 and sometimes even up to 15. Even though you don't feel any difference: I don't feel any lag when working via SSH and you don't notice slow page loads from Apache... I checked the "top" command and it seems like about 80-90% of the CPU usage was used by "nice", so not by user processes as I expected. Also my munin graphs show that when the "nice" CPU usage increases, so does my server load.
It's a Pentium D 3.4GHz with 2GB of RAM. Kernel 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp.
I have spri from RFX networks installed to prioiritize certain processes (SSH connections for example to improve the chances of getting in when there's something terribly wrong with the server). From what I understand it changes the nice values of (almost) all processes. Is this causing the high "nice" cpu usage?
I started tracking and collecting information about every page load on my site, which made the DB grow very fast. In 24 hours I had over 1.4 million INSERTs, so the DB will grow by over 170MB/day. The inserts so far didnt affect the performance of the server (dual clovertown, 4gb ram, SCSI HD), but at this rate the DB will grow by over 5GB per month. Is it a good idea to let the DB grow to those sizes? Would it affect performance if a table had several 10s of millions of rows? Public doesnt run any SELECT/UPDATE queries on that table, only admin does (me).

Code:
tar -cpvf backup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.tar --exclude=/var/www/html/tempjunk /var/www/html
To make some backups. It works fine, but here's the problem: it really takes a toll on server load. Server load seems to go up at by around +3 or more. I'm wondering if there is a way to use less CPU usage on that command, or is there another command that uses less usage. I'm not concerned if it backs up slower by starving the amount of CPU usage it has, so if there's a way to do this any method?
I've gotten several messages from cpanel like this:
5 login failures attempts to account mysql (system) -- too many attempts from this ip
I am kind of new to the idea of colo and am curious how you know the amount of amps to purchase for your server? I want my machine to have enough to run efficiently without causing hardware failures.
quad-core intel xeon 3.0 ghz
8 gb ram
4 x 300 gb hdds
I wasn't sure if this would be better posted in the resellers forum, but that seemed to generally be reviews of companies.
Anyway, I work for a company who is trying to move a large amount of sites from one server to a new one. I was looking for the best way to handle this, since you run into issues with mySQL databases, file permission getting lost in ftp, ect.
I have a plesk server with qmail. I would like to limit the amount of mails been sent per day per mail box or per domain.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI got a dedicated server which hosted 45 sites, one of those sites contains a vbulletin forum application since january 2007 , but from two weeks i found that there is a high amount of Queries from the this database which leads the server load to be always in RED and exceeds 200 or 300! and the memory is totally consumed!
i tried alot to solve this problem as :
- reinstall the vb.
- change the vb path to another ( considering it as attack)
- installing BFD , APF , ( considering it as attack )
- upgrading to apache 2.2.6 , PHP 5.2.5 , MySQL 5.0.24 ( considering it as a bug)

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to limit the amount of data transfered for a single client in a share hosting scenario using Windows 2003/2008 and NOT using a off-the-shelf control panel.
Within IIS you can limit the number of connections and throttle the transfer rate, but I don't see how to limit the amount of data transferred.
Are the Control Panels monitoring the log files and totaling the amount of data transferred or is there another way to implement data transfer limits?
on good hosting setups for getting large amounts of disk space.
I would like to be able to offer up to 2Gb storage space for 100s, maybe up to a few 1000 users - any solution should scale well. The files would be static files that might be up to 400Mb in size.
It would be nice to be able to give users FTP access to their disk space, although it's not a core requirement.
I run a website that uses a GoDaddy Virtual Private Server & Plesk. The website sends emails to alert users of various events. For the most part, this works but I occasionally capture the following error message:
Error in processing. The server response was: Requested action aborted: This mail account has sent too many messages in a short amount of time. Please try later.
Can the number of messages sent over X number of minutes be set via Plesk? If so, how?
What is the transit quality of AT&T, in general?

I'd like to ask for some help in choosing a webhost. I want to host a website that will be a sales database. It will use a MySQL database and PHP. I will not need large amounts of disc space (I can't estimate exactly but probably less than 10GB) and relatively low amounts of bandwidth. What's important is a high uptime and security and quality bandwidth. I am very sceptical with all the webhosts offering unlimited services since I know they are overselling. Do you know of any quality webhosts suitable with the above characteristics?

Used ThePlanet for ages and well not to impressed with them in the past 6 months. Not reading tickets fully is a big issue or not following instructions. Response times to tickets absolutely unacceptable with some being 3-4 hours others ranging in the days and most requiring calls to get responses. It really seems like they're more focused on their dedicated server market.
So any suggestions on quality providers for people in need of a few cabs and 45mbit or so and want actual decent response times and knowledgeable staff who read tickets fully?
Some applications are of the ping sensitive nature while others are just your normal web, mail, misc services. So things like cisco guards available and friendly with regards to fixing bad routes would be nice.
I've heard people suggest Colo4Dallas but are there any other suggestions?
