What Makes Free Hosts Different
Oct 13, 2009Apart from being free, of course. I can see thousands of free webhosts, many of which even don't put ads, and still support Databases, custom domains, even unbelievable bandwidths. Still, how does premium webhosts remain at the top? Or what is the problem with these free hosts?

May 20, 2009I'd like to get some feedback on what makes people sign up with a provider. On the flip side, what turns you away from a provider? Their site, feedback etc?
Personally, I like to see a provider that has reliability, stability and excellent customer care.
Finding What Makes Up All That Bandwidth
Oct 28, 2007I got a cPanel notification that one of my client's had exceeded their bandwidth and so the site was down.
Checking, I found in AWStats that nearly 400+ MB was web traffic. It looks normal to me. However, AWStats simply grouped them all together under 'Others' without providing clear details.
Is there any other way I can find out what made up that 400+MB traffic?
What Dedicated Server Features Makes You Go WOW!
Jul 2, 2008Hey, I'd be interested to hear a bit about the dedicated server features that would "turn you on" as potiential dedicated server client. What would make you go "WOW, thats cool", which features that would be indifferent to you and which ones you'd rather be with out...and why?

(also, just to make it clear, we (uk2group.com) does not offer all of these services, so this is not a lame attempt to spam or promote our services...)

What Makes Server Cpu's Superior To Desktop Cpu's- Woodcrest Vs Conroe, Etc
Aug 14, 2007wondering in general and specifically for woodcrest vs conroe and kentsfield vs clovertown
I can't find either
a) an explanation as to why the server cpu's are superior to the desktop equivilents
or
b) benchmarks comparing them.
even mainstream hardware sites like tomshardware has benchmarks for server hdd's, but not server cpu's for some reason.
apart from the ability to use dual cpu's in a single machine, what is the advantage? what warrants the price difference? are there benchmarks available anywhere to compare comparable models? (example, woodcrest xeon 5150 2.66ghz vs conroe c2d e6700 2.66ghz)
Mysql Insert/Update Makes Apache Go Crazy
Aug 12, 2007I run a wordpress blog with apache2+mysql5+php5 in a Debian vps with 1024mb ram (plus swap).
When you read the website everything works quick and smooth, but when you have to add data to the database (edit posts, write posts, write comments) something weird happens.
monitoring the system with the top and I see that, for example, as soon as an article has been posted (already got the "article posted" message in the page) the free ram goes suddenly down (some seconds) from 800mb to 0. Swapping starts and the website stops responding. in the meanwhile cpu "wa" goes high (90%++).
Typing ps aux I can see that is not mysql process's fault, actually it seems more that it's apache to cause this ram hogging, in fact an apache restart brings back tons of free ram.
this is my current my.cnf:
Code:

What Makes A Xeon A Xeon?
Jun 2, 2008There's something I've always wondered, what makes a Xeon a Xeon?
For instance, what is the difference between a Core 2 Quad Q9300 and a Quad-Core Xeon E5420. Both are quad core, have a 1333MHz FSB, run at 2.5GHz, have SSE4.1, any all the specs seem identical.
Only difference I see is the Xeon has 12MB cache compared to the Q9300's 6MB.
But generally speaking, what makes a Xeon such much better for a server environment than a Core 2 processor.
