Web Server Specs
I have been hired to build a web server for a fellow student at school. I am used to building desktops for personal use but this is my first time putting together a web server so I just wanted to verify with you web hosting pros what should go in it.
Purpose of server: He wants a server that is capable of hosting a website mostly dedicated to a vBulletin community. He wants it to support a community of 30,000 members with a max of 1000 active users. He is also active in local politics and wants to host some local candidates web pages but I assume since they are local candidates and not very well known and most likely going to be very static pages this wont cause much of an extra load.
Limitations:I know the connection is going to be a likely place for a bottle neck but he wants to have a server that is capable of hosting the above mentioned type of load and will upgrade the his connection as needed. Also he does not know how to use Linux or Unix so a windows based system would be strongly preferred even though its generally considered worse.
what is the most necessary specs on such a system? I would greatly appreciate any input.

Web Server Specs
What do you think are good specs for web servers? We've been usually buying dual processor, dual core, 2gb ram, 2x36gb 15k scsi in raid-1 servers, but I wonder if we could get away with significantly less. Is it better to have multiple, cheaper servers for Apache? What are some example specs? What about something like this: Intel Xeon 5130 2.00GHz 1333MHz 4MB DC x 1 2GB FB-DIMM - DDR II - 667 MHz (2x1GB) x 1 74GB S-ATA 10000 RPM ... OR ... 250GB S-ATA 7200 RPM ... OR ... 36 GB SCSI 15000 RPM

Web Server Accesses Vs. Specs
I'm wondering what kind of web server load that people are dealing with when it comes to their web (Apache, IIS, Lighttpd, nginx, etc.) server. What information I'm curious about: How many raw accesses your web server is dealing with in a given month, and what kind of hardware you have to serve those accesses? If you have multiple servers, pick the one that has the most accesses in a month. My results: My server gets ~2,500,000 accesses a month (about 1 per second) on Apache. The server is a AMD Athlon 64 3800+, 1GB RAM. Hardware handles those requests with no problems.

What Server Specs Do I Need To Do This
My site serves a few hundred people, and has very heavy database usage (every page). But, for a two hour period EVERY day, it can server 5-10,000 at a tme - very strange, I know. What kind of server set-up would I need? I.e your answer may be... "Woah... You'll need 10 servers all doin abc" I'm not too bothered about the detail - just "1 basic server would be enough - $100" - just an idea - I really have no clue. I know this is a difficult question, and I'll get the usual - depends on xyz etc. - but even if your answer is "You'll need between 10-50 servers" - it at least gives me an idea.

New Server Specs
I've been commissioned to setup and run a server for a client. It's a site where people can upload and show their photos in a rather large community. Daily users peaking at around 5.000 these days. He also has a large and very active forum for his 30.000 members. Forum is run on homebuild scripts (compares to Vbulletin). He insists on getting a server that has absolutely no lag or other response time and is willing to pay what ever it costs. I was thinking about setting up a system with:Xeon Dual core 16 GB RAM 4*500GB RAID 10 MBPS Port Would a server like that do the job? Was thinking about co-locating it to a Level3 center.

Mean Download Server Specs
I'm starting a file download site. I've done a lot of research and I'm currently planning a head for growth and scaling. Looking to serve around 250-500 thousand 5MB files a day. I would like some input from people that KNOW what they are talking about, hopefully people that have hosted/ran similar sites. The main question I need answered is what will be the first bottle neck for a single download server will run into when delivering the following. File size = 10MB. Number of downloads = As many 1.2mbit download streams as possible. Example Server, lets say... Intel 5405 8GB Ram 2x640GB RE3 Hardware Raid 1 1000mbit Am I correct in assuming the bottle neck will be the HD's here? So would I be right in assuming this could handle around 200 concurrent downloads @ 1.2mbit(250mbit)?

Email Server Specs
At the moment I have two Clovertown boxes at Softlayer with 4GB of ram. One has a couple of mirrored SATA disks and the other has raid 5 on some SAS disks. Both boxes have 1GB ports. I'm running MDaemon not sure if its the right choice on both. There arent many user accounts listed as most of emails goto and come from application servers, where they are basically loaded into a database. My issue is most emails go out on one mail server. Sometimes there are 100,000 messages in the queue which then effects icoming mail processing. At times it can take hours for a message to get through the box. This results in issues as the email verfication system I use for end user accounts requires them to reply to a message, which of course if it takes hours to get into an account is no good. Im debating about adding another box to the mix or replacing the two current mail servers (I could use them to do something else) with something like a 4xquad core job with 16GB of ram. However does anyone have any suggestions on any different mail servers. I dont want to run exchange, I have that on another box (lol) for my email already and I dont want something which is really going to require a lot of user input to keep running

Server Specs / Capacity
I would like some advice and to see if this is a good approach to setup a server / web business. The idea is to start off providing very basic web hosting functionality for smaller sites. I was thinking about purchasing two similar or identical servers (RAID1 disks) + server fully mirrored. In case 1 falls out the 2nd one takes over. DNS services is at startup located on other servers in the DC. If this works out then I'd be looking at increasing servers with clusters or LVS. I'm having a very hard time finding resources and information of the load and server capacity. I was thinking about a system like this: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 , RAID 1 SATA disks (preferrably Raptor), 2 GB of RAM. This would then be running LAMP. I would limit the traffic to 5-10GB transfer / month per account. (most account would not nearly get up to this figure). Is there a ballpark figure at about how many web sites this server could handle ? Are we talking about 50 ? 20 ? 100 ?

Server Specs To Run SharePoint Server 2007
I've recently had a number of enquiries from hosted clients and potential customers requesting SharePoint hosting for use in connection with their current packages. I've used Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 in the past, but am specifically looking into the latest and greatest release of SharePoint to date to install - SharePoint Server 2007. I've read over Microsoft's server requirements for running SharePoint, who recommend a 3GHz or higher processor and 2GB RAM for web servers, and 4GB RAM for SQL servers. To me, this seems ridiculous for the small number of clients I'll ever be hosting, and who will only have a small number of SharePoint users per site. Those with any experience of SharePoint hosting please share your opinions of SharePoint hosting on various server configurations, as I'm interested to know how it performs. As I'll only have a small user base, would running SharePoint fully on one existing IIS 6 web server do the trick? What processor should this machine have, and amount of RAM to run SharePoint well?

Server Specs For VPS Hosting
I've been getting requests for a VPS hosting from a few clients and I was wondering what everybody's input on the best server hardware configuration for a hypervm server is. Was thinking something along the lines of the following server configuration: Quad core processor(s) 16gbs of ram 2x 100GB RAID 1 Main HDD (Do I need this much space?) 4TB RAID 5 VM HDD's That would allow me to keep the main OS separate and redundant due to HDD failure and leave the VM's on a RAID 5 for the same reason. What would you change or advise me to do on this configuration? The goal is to host as many VM's as the processor/ram/HDD's will allow without much of a performance hit. how many we can host with this configuration? Obviously depends on the packages that I haven't thought about yet.

What Server Specs Are Important In This Situation
I'm building a web app that will be both serving ads as well as recording things like impressions and clicks. Obviously it will have a dedicated server (and will most likely quickly expand in to needing multiple servers) but I'm curious what specs are most important for this sort of thing. Is processor speed more important? RAM? Hard drive speed? It won't be heavy so much on the side of server full pages of data (like a normal website) as much as it will be heavy for display ads and recording visitor data.

Server Specs For High Hit Site
We have a client that is normally low use. about 200+ hits per day. They are a non-profit, and get TV coverage (like the Today show, Dateline, NBC nightly news, and coming up here soon final 4 news spot) about once a month. When this happens, they get 60k hits a day. they crash my dedicated server a few times. I have a dual p4 w/ 2 gb of ram. I only have 60 clients on this server, but as they get more coverage, our server cant take this many hits.

Vps Specs To Set Up A Forum
We're setting up a vBulletin forum, and I'd like to know what we'll need from a vps. We expect 5000-10000 hits a day, maybe 30-60 users on at a time, and we'd like to keep quick load speeds. So how much ram would we need to achieve fast speeds? How many mysql database might we need (just roughly for such a sized forum)? How much bandwidth will we need? Plus any other info you can give! I could also do with some VPS hosting recommendations. We'll be adding other sites (with less traffic) in the VERY near future, so we'd like them to be accomodated. A host with good support/ response time is a must, and one with excellent uptime to!

Web Hosting On Same Server As Game Server
Does a typical LAMP setup for a high enough traffic site(s) take enough resources to affect the performance of a game server? (we'll say 1million page views per day) I'm speaking of say, 2MB of ram, dual xeon 2.8 type machine, with IDE drives. Nothing too fancy. 1 milion page views per day may be pushing it, so what about say, 200 per day? Just wondering if anyone has a setup like this and how it fairs out at the game server end. I'm thinking of moving my websites over to my game server + add more sites over time, but don't want it to lag the game. I know as a fact bandwidth would not be the issue, I'm thinking more ram/cpu. The game I host (Ultima Online) uses very little bandwidth with even 30+ people online. I use less then 1% of my link capacity at most times. I've seen it spike to 5% and that's most likely when I was downloading data.

Network Web Server And Database Server Together
I am going to setup our new database server (call it beta) in our data center. Previously we only had one server (call it alpha) which was web, email, ftp, dns, and database. Beta is taking over alphas database duties. We have a Sonicwall router/firewall as our main connection access point. I am trying to decicde if we should simply connect alpha and beta together locally via a gigabit crossover cable, or if I should connect beta into our sonicwall router/firewall. Beta does not need to be outside accessible at all. So if I connect beta to the sonicwall I simply would not open any ports. What do you guys think is best for performance and the overall right way to do it.

DB Server And Web Server In Different Data Centers
DHas anyone got experience of having a web server and db server setup where the servers are in different datacenters?

How To Setup A WEB Server Which Talks With DB A Server
I have been shooting away a lot of questions on these forums lately, but you guys have been very helpful. Thanks. My problem is this. We are going to get rackspace. Then we are going to purchase two servers. The first (WEB) is a httpd, dns, ftp, smtp, pop3 server. The second (DB) is purely a database server which will run mysql and mssql. The first server (WEB) runs a asp/php applications that need to connect and talk with the database (DB) server. I was thinking of only connection the WEB server to the physical internet through the co-location drop. Then connecting the WEB and DB server directly via a CAT6 cable. Both servers will have gigabit NIC cards. Then in theory in the asp/php applications all I have to do, is point them to the local ip address of the DB server as this should work. Is this a good solution? Will speed be an issue, the delay from talking to the WEB server and talking to the DB server? I was thinking this is more secure, because the WEB server is the only machine physically connected to the internet, the DB server is not. Though, is it true, if hackers compromise the web server, they then would be able to compromise the DB server as well via the WEB server? I am open to suggestions though, and better ways of setting this up.

Using A Second Web Server
in a site to help save some Ram: Use a 2nd server You can use a tiny, lightning fast server to handle static documents & images, and pass any more complicated requests on to Apache on the same machine. This way Apache won't tie up its multi-megabyte processes serving simple streams of bytes. You can have Apache only get used, for example, when a php script needs to be executed. is this Good? if yes how could it be done, having apache and another one at the same time

we have 2 servers at different data centres we have successfully managed to have 2 A names that point to 2 different ip's/data centres so if we switch one server off the other is there seamlessly which wouldn't be a problem and is ideal for a website that doesn't rely on a database because you cant guarantee what server you will be viewing, so we need to find a way of having normal mysql replication (master/slave) on both servers but have the slave server hidden/disabled until the master server goes down then have the slave server come to life someway,

Web Server Has Been Attacked
Server info: Windows 2003 box Dedicated server currently hosted at the planet. Problem: It would appear there has been a security breach into the server recently. This morning we cleared off a Trojan, and also a new user that had been created on the server. All of our websites we host (around 200) had been affected. Almost every file had new javascript or links to an .swf, they load in iframes and are very malicious, actually giving any vistor to the site a virus. I tracked down the embed code that I found in most files appended to the end of each file. Below shows up in most .asp, .cfm, .html files (no spaces, just can't paste a url in here yet)... <scRipT s rc=[url] <scRipT sr c=[url] Below shows up any any .js file (no spaces, just can't paste a url in here yet)... document.writeln ("<script sr c=[url] document.writeln ("<script sr c=[url] So I got a script that opens up every file looking for this code and stripping it out. Seemed to work at first, but now all the sites have been rewritten again..... and again. So obviously something is overwriting this.

Web Server Logging
Firstly this question is not related to running a web hosting business, but to dedicated servers hosting our own websites. I was just wondering, other than security reasons, what is the importance (if any) of keeping Apache/WWW logs? Are there legal reasons? If it is best to keep Apache logs, how should we go about this? If we don't look after them properly there will be massive amounts of logs being kept - what is the best way to store them? I know they can be "rolled over" and kept for a certain amount of time, which is the best utility to do this? The OS is Linux (CentOS) and the web servers are Apache and Lighttpd. and should proxy/gateway/cache server logs be kept?

IIS Web Server
This past year our high school purchased a web server for Web Design classes to post their created pages to. This is great news, but as a teacher I’m not versed on its capabilities or functions. Over the course of the year, I got the students to post their pages through FTP process, but I’d like to add other features similar to those offered by other hosts. We are not going to be in the business to host pages, other than learning how-to. Things I see that I’d like to add and need direction: Email Control Panel – to allow student interaction. 2.0 technology (if you will) Simple Scripts Fantastico I have asked that they install mysql and php and they did. Where do I go from here?
