Where To Host A Powerful SQL Server
Jun 4, 2009
I have a project coming up to host a self developed database app on a web based SQL server. We have received the prepayment for the server rent for 24 months already and are currently looking for the best possible provider.
Requirements:
Uptime and service response is critical for us. We want an unmanaged server but require the best possible response time in case of hardware defects or network issues (DDoS).
In the beginning the user base (small) will mainly be in Europe but with the tendency to grow more continents. I’d like a US east cost location with a speedy connect to EU but would consider an EU provider with a good rep.
Server specs:
I7 processor for fast RAM access
12GB DDR3 RAM (probably more later)
2 x SSD 80GB in Raid 1 (planning to go RAID10 on 4 disks later)
Hardware Raid controller
2 TB traffic /month
Windows Server Std 2003 x64
SQL Server 2008
Unmanaged. No help needed with server config.
We intend to keep the same hardware for 24 months. So rent to own might be an option Large upfront payment are ok to reduce monthly costs.
Hardware SLA would be nice
KVMoIP would be nice
Firewall:
Dedicated unit would be nice but we have no experience here and would need full support.

I've been tasked with finding a web server for my office. I won't be the one managing it, but I'm supposed to figure out what to purchase. It's pretty low volume. We'll have a max of 20GB/month. We're planning to use Apache, PHP, & mySQL to run a couple of sites based on Wordpress and Movable Type. I figure we probably don't need much, but I just want to make sure before I go recommending something that isn't sufficient. Right now, I'm looking at a low end server with a 3GHz P4, 1GB of DDR 400, and a 7200 RPM hard drive.

I have two quad core processors and load is like 15.
May it be caused by switch if it doesnt let traffic trough properly?
if dmesg grep eth shows 100 full duplex is it normal or should it be 1000 full duplex?
how can I make it 1000 full duplex on centos 5?

I have a fairly busy server, and received a High Load warning from my firewall monitoring software. Showing a high 5 minute load average alert of 13.89.
I'm presuming extra memory and a more powerful CPU would be required to sort this out?

some setup recommendations as I feel I have outgrown my current server.
I have two websites:
#1 is a busy vBulletin based forum with 42,000 members.
#2 is a website with Wordpress and Vbulletin installed (though the forum is nowhere near as busy as the first site) and gets roughly 2000 uniques a day.
When site #2 gets a good surge of visitors from offline media or a large site, site #1 will die first with the "mysql error: too many connections" error and site #2 will take a very very long time to load.
For every other day, the load is quite low, nearly always under 1.50.
The current server that both sites reside on has the following specs:
Quote:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 2
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz
stepping : 9
cpu MHz : 2667.540
cache size : 512 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid xtpr
bogomips : 5339.18
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1003 484 519 0 3 192
-/+ buffers/cache: 288 715
Swap: 2047 25 2022
What sort of setup would be best for me?
A files server and a sql server?
A server for site #1 and another for site #2?
A single, more powerful server?
Or something else you recommend?
Also, for the setup you do recommend, can you recommend a hosting company that is reliable and can do it for a good price?

Im a webdesigner so when looking for hosting i try to find one that is simple to manage, hardware powerful, lots of ready to install scripts and a beautiful webmail like Atmail or Zimbra.
So im looking for a powerful / quality high end "shared" hosting package.
Until now i have looked at:
- Mediatemple
(as @mail, exelent support but slow in Europe)
- Mosso
(is always good to be powered by rackspace but i think that the cloud hosting concept is still unsstable. Any experience?
- SimpleHelix (realy fast magento demo store, lots of scripts, @Mail and seems to have a fast network to europe)
So any advices on premium shared hosting?
An in Europe, any company similar to mediatemple or simplehelix?
Budjet: up to 100 $

We currently have a web based apllication running on a web server, in addition we have two servers running as back up. The application running on these servers is business critical, so important we have 100% or near as up time.
We were wondering what is required to run these servers from within our own office, i.e. is it possible/practical/affordable.
We are only a reasonable sized company so cost is important.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so what costs might be involved, what we want is total physical access to our servers.

I was wondering if it's possible to transfer your site from a server to an addon domain on a webhosting plan at hostmonster.com? And is it possible to restore it back?
Like for an example I bought a dedicated server and setup the domains:
domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com
And move them to a webhosting package:
domain1.domain.com
domain2.domain.com
domain3.domain.com
And then setup these as an addon domain, so it will a domain again instead of a subdomain.

I've a site running at my localhost with Apache/Tomcat server, pages are mostly jsp.
I've used Oracle as the database but i'm currently migrating it to MySQL. I've used the
Struts framework. And i'm planning to add AJAX to it in coming days.
So, the whole thing is up and working on my local machine, how do i host it on a server so that its available in the internet?
Which hosting service is required for this kind of website?
How do i choose a hosting service?
And the most important of all, how to deploy and make the code running in the remote server.
I'm planning to go for a shared server for the moment.

I was thinking about getting a core2duo for a vps node and I was thinking that I need quite alot of IP addresses and was hoping that the delivery time on the IP addresses were quite small. I need it for hypervm due to the fact that its alot cheaper than Virtuozzo.

I have been running a dedicated server for years, first with Carolina Online, who then sold it to HostOnce.
Today at around 6PM my server, that was working fine and I was actively working on all day, suddenly disappears off the Internet.
I go to Host Once's ticket system, and they have a message up that they moved their servers from NC to NJ, that all the servers were upgraded to Windows 2003, and that they would be very busy with the migration, don't submit multiple tickets. (Host Once seems to mostly have reseller hosting accounts, not many dedicated servers.)
I start pinging IP addresses and everything in my server's IP block is gone (the furthest a tracert goes is 64.70.48.3 - everything under that is gone.)
This is bad.
I'm worried that they may have bought new boxes in NJ for their reseller accounts, transferred up the data, and abandoned the old boxes in NC ... is this something they might do?
Also worried that the block of IPs their old servers were on may have somehow been reassigned... can this happen?
In any case, waiting to hear back on my ticket but looking for advice. Does anyone know the datacenter Carolina Online / Host Once used in Lumberton, NC? Want to start tracking it down if my box may have been left behind.... Any other insight on what in the world they might be doing / what happenned here?

I want to know that my main site smsbucket.com and smsbucket.com/forums are both hosted on same server.
But in future when my forum will grow I will need to switch host because my current hosting provider doesn't provide big disk space so in future can I just host /forums on different server? and keep smsbucket.com on my current server?

I have configured and install VMWare Server on my server and currently trying to install Plesk. I have gotten the network working so I can download.
I want to give the VMWare Virtual Machine it's own IP so I can connect via PuTTY instead of the console, which e.g. does not let me paste url's (plesk download url is long).
I am planning to host a few websites on the Plesk Virtual Machine. I have added the IP my network provider given me using 'setup' in CentOS and it's listed in /sbin/ifconfig, but does not work yet.
Do I first need to add the ip to the host server self? Or can a VPS directly use an ip?
(PS: Do I use too many hard breaks in my texts?)

I am attempting to change the host headers on my site that take my domains and forward them out to another domain.
My problem is that if a person type in [url], it brings them to my site and every link of the site is then [url]instead of redirecting it to my intended [url]

Our dedicated server runs our virtual machines for us and the NAT option is terrible...the virtual machines work REALLY well when they use a Bridged connection. The problem is that our virtual machines have to acquire an IP address somehow, and the hosting provider we currently use says they only give one IP address to our server which is fine if the NAT within the software worked really well...is there a webhost that can provide a setup where they have a router hooked to our dedicated server so if we need more local IP's they can be given/assigned by the router. This would then allow us to run our virtual machines much better. Does anybody know of a dedicated server host that will do this?

I want a reliable network. I would prefer having a dedicated 10mbit rather then 100mbps shared.
Server requirements:
Reliable fast network.
2Gigs of Ram
WHM
I will be hosting online games on the server so the latency is very important. Server can be either in UK or USA.
Budget: 140USD per month. Not interested in servers with setup fees.

what hosts are considered the best for virtual dedicated servers.
I know about the big names like GoDaddy and Yahoo, but who really has the best service and (importantly) the best price/value?
Heres what I need power-wise: Something that offers 2GB+ of RAM to me, 20GB+ Hard Drive space, and something thats running on Windows. I intend to run 3 e-commerce sites off this, so if you think I need more power please recommend it.

my server will revert to its old host name and stop working. Old host name was (in) and the new one is (zonto). Then, the server will eventually crash HTTPD. There is enough ram, there is small cpu usage. HTTPD is restarted and then it says it can't connect to local host blah blah. I checked EVERYWHERE, the new host name is set. Is there a host name issue some where else? I change it via the hostname command and changed all of the files.

I have been with Page-Zone for a couple years now. Just the past year I have had little problems with them.
-For instance once I was trying to update my website and their server went down. I thought it was something on my end so I started trouble shooting it for an hour and then it came back up.
-Another time the users on my website were without e-mail for a week, because they changed IP address.
-And finally the e-mail accounts couldn't receive any e-mails from Comcast, MSN, or Hotmail accounts. So I ended up setting up a Google Aps account for us to use for e-mail.
Granted they are very cheap but I have been having many problems with little support. Also today I just noticed that in the whois it lists Network Solutions as the technical contact. Are these things that I should be looking for a new host for?
