Does any web host give free dedicated server/cluster hosting to non-profit or famous websites? I'm just wondering coz if I made a site and it got 1 million visits per day, who do you think would give me free dedicated cluster server hosting? Or Would only a rich company like google or microsoft be able to do that?
View 5 Repliesat building 10 new servers to sell to our customers as dedis but are I am unsure of how power hungry the processors are.
The two options I am looking at are:
# E6600/E6400 Core2Duo Processor
# AMD X2 Energy Efficant 5000/4800/4600 Range
All the same setups are using just the one harddrive (SATA2 80gb) with 1GB RAM all on a budget motherboard. While I have seen Heavily used Core2Duo systems pull over 0.7amps (with 4gb ram and 2 hard drives) I am unsure which processor setup will use the less ampage. We are running these at 230v so had anyone got any ideas how much ampage these may pull and which would use the least ammount of power?
I'm about to start a web site that doesn't consume much bandwidth and CPU and I don't know which dedi is better to use from exmasters.com.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have three domains that I want to host myself on my own computer. Two are temporary sites that I only put up on Memorial Day weekend for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival or Movement 09 to direct people to my after parties and the other site is a two page bio site for myself. I have a very tight budget this year and I can't afford to pay for web hosting all year round when these are only temporary sites even though I own the domain names all year round. I do know some of the promoters for the festival do the hosting themselves.

We do SaaS for our own specialized software product, and all our customers are in universities.. usually professors or administrative assistants.
These people are not technical, so saying something like "really good peering" means nothing to them. However, saying "the facility is so good that Google has servers there" is something they would understand. So, who are the tenants there that an average person would know? I realize there are multiple buildings all next to each other, but I don't think it will be necessary to denote by building. Last time I toured the facility (a while ago), I saw Google and Amazon there.
So with a VPS you can host multiple websites?
Do certain packages come with WHM where you can make an account for each of your domains?
Also, what is the importance of having more IPs? Does having 1 IP allow me to have only 1 site hosted?
where do you go host HUGE websites, youtube like sites, with HUGE bandwidth usage?
I don't believe people go on host like rackspace, with their 150GB / month packages, unless they want to pay an absurd amount of $$.... so where do these guys go to host? What kind of hosts are these?
I have now 10 websites hosted in a hosting company. But i now want to move all this websites to another host.
So all the websites are based in html and flash (no databases or php).
So i will need to upload all the websites to the new host, then point my dns to the new nameservers. Right? im i forgeting something?
And about the emails, how can i copy/import all the existing emais ti the new host?
I currently host my own website with windows server 2003, it is a long ip address. I use a DNS redirector service to make it a real domain name. I was wondering if I can host more than one website?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm seriously considering the LVPS-2 plan at SWVPS: 10GB space, 200GB bandwidth, 512MB RAM (burstable to 768MB). I have four sites hosted with MediaTemple but I want to give VPS another shot since it provides full root access. MediaTemple is hosting me fine, but I keep running into roadblocks with things that involve custom compiling. I'd really like some more flexibility.
So how easy would it be to add 4 domains to one VPS plan and have them all in their own subdirectory? Also, two of these domains would have one e-mail address, so I'd need a mail server along with a FTP server. I know these two to be slight resource hogs from my previous VPS experiences, as they both caused me to go over my limit (which was, I think, 256MB).
I sent SWVPS an email but all I got was a suggestion to get a dedicated server. These days it's hard to tell a genuine recommendation from someone trying to milk another $40/mo out of you. I really don't think I need a dedicated server for these sites, as I've hosted much more than that on shared servers (granted, that's a completely different area). I also can't afford dedicated hosting. This $20 price point for LVPS-2 is convenient, because it's the same price at MT, which I'm barely skimming by on.
Site #1 is a personal blog with one email account, powered by PHP and MySQL.
Site #2 is a company website and blog, powered by RoR, but not much database load. It would, however, run Subversion and browse it with Warehouse, a RoR SVN browser. This would probably be the main offender as everything SVN would be managed and run from here.
Site #3 is a software website in RoR, all downloads would be from Site #2's SVN server. It has forums, a bug tracker, a plugin/theme browser, and a development blog, and everything else is just (R)HTML.
Site #4 is another personal site, with one email account.
i know they oversell,
so,i do not want to tale about the bandwidth issue,
but about the hardware,
what and how big they are ?
why can they host over hundreds of account ?

My brother wants to open a free file hosting and need good quality unmetered bandwidth with many hdd space also. Anyone maybe has experience before on this? i searched whole forum and found that the datacenter who offer it and with cheap price is fdcservers, and just found leaseweb also not bad.
is there any good and bad review on those datacenters? or maybe could suggest other datacenter?
i would really appreciate if you want to share it
What is the best way to host sites with controversial but borderline legal content?
In the USA, although there is some free speech protection from the 1st amendment, the threat of lawsuits defeats it and the businesses err on the side of caution.
I don't mean abuse either, like selling pirated software or allowing spammers to flood people. I mean, actual valuable speech that is legal, but upsets people.
The USA datacenters suspend accounts and disconnect servers all the time over this. All it takes are either lots of complaints to the abuse team, or scary legal letters.
This makes it impossible for people with unpopular beliefs to share them or expose powerful people for their fraud since they can easily scare the host into censoring.
So how can we provide actual free speech hosting? When I get a dedicated server or colocate in a datacenter I'm under their TOS and AUP. I read them, and it seems good.
But then abuse gets complaints from people. If they're a good host they'll look into it and dismiss the ones that don't have legal merit. But the complaints keep coming.
Finally it reaches a point where they're sick of seeing complaints for your servers, or one of the lawyer's letters sounds scary and legit so they give up and terminate.
The way it should be is, they tell them to email us instead, NOT the datacenter. "We aren't liable for the content hosted we just provide the facility, contact the client".
But they don't do that. They act as police. Well that'd be fine and good for the network if they were good police. But they don't know the law in detail and aren't judges.
So I don't know how to exercise the free speech rights of my customers who want to have a place on the web to say controversial things or post upsetting information.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Some things I'm thinking about are, offshore, mirrors, or ISP.
For offshore, maybe there is some place where people don't threaten to sue like the USA, and the Americans can't bully the datacenter. If they have free speech rights it might work.
For mirrors, maybe there's a way to link a bunch of shared hosting accounts into a central dedicated server that pushes content out to them, so when the server is pulled the rest stays.
For ISP, maybe datacenters are legally liable so we need to go higher. What if we got regular Business internet from AT&T or Verizon and hosted in an office? Will they still suspend?

And well, I'm planning on creating a forum for this domain under another host. But I will be getting that host in a few months, since I'm going on vacation for 6 weeks and its unnecesary to already pay a host.
So I'm looking for a free host, that supports nameserver change. Because I wan't to have a temporary page with Coming Soon text on it and a contact form, so the host should be able to use php also. This is just till I'm back from the vacation and have the new host. Anybody knows a nice one?
Also another question, this is my first time using a seperate domain from host. Can I always change my domains nameservers? So that when I return from vacation, I can apply them on the new host?
