I will be deploying a full-flash site for a customer. He wont experience that much traffic at once - I would say at most, one to three customers on at one time and most of the day the site would not have more than one client on at a time.
Will a VPS with the specs below with barely any other sites on the VPS be able to present this high-quality flash site in a fast manner. I understand that there is a whole world of optimizing flash which is what my designer is trained in but does anyone have any expereince deploying full flash sites on a VPS. I'm curious to get people's expereinces.
VPS Specs(VPS at knownhost at colo4dallas):
Plesk
Equal Share CPU(10-20 other customers on the node)
320 MB Guranteed RAM
1024 Burst RAM
Can anybody suggest a large hosting company based in France?
I'm looking for hosting that can handle a high bandwith, high profile, busy website. We will require excellent customer support and a professional attitude.
I will be starting a targeted (niched) video sharing site in the next couple weeks. I know it will require loads of space/bandwidth. My budget is under $450/month.
plan out an effective hosting strategy which will keep the costs low, while giving my providing a fast and reliable viewing experience for my visitors?
Somebody suggested going with Amazon S3 once traffic starts to pick up. But I don't understand how it works. (there is also something called amazon Ec2.. what the heck is the difference )
If I start with say a dual Xeon dedi box, with 2000GB bandwidth, can I serve all my videos/files through amazon while the conversion takes place on the dedicated server? In that case, how would I transfer the files from the dedi box to amazon? Is this even possible?
Could somebody please clarify the whole process? I am expecting about 1000 hits a day within 3 weeks, if they each watch a 200MB video a day... that's a lot of bandwidth!
I have been experimenting with Fedora 8 as a desktop (64 bit). It is quite good. The only problem I have encountered is using the latest flash. For some reason it actually turns off the computer randomly. I reverted to an older version and it doesn't happen. I am running kde, it behaves the same with gnome or xfce so I know it's not the desktop I am using. It could be nspluginwrapper however, I uninstalled that and tried 32 bit Firefox and it also crashes.
I probably should be in the Fedora forum but I was wondering if anyone else had seen this. I am running AMD X2 5000, 4gb ram, NV 7300.
I have a flash swf that I use to upload files however to get this to work on the server you have to do something like turn on shockwave uploading? do you know what you need to do to upload using flash swf?
I have a vbulletin 3.6x forum using IBproarcade module with 200+ games. They all work fine, but during play it seems choppy. I've duplicated this in Firefox 2 (also in new profile) and also IE7. I'm trying to figure out why its choppy (on and off) on any game. Any ideas to trace this or enhance the performance? This is a personal server with a few domains on the box and not an enormous amount of traffic in general, nor at once....
With Windows Streaming Services on quad hyperthreading server I was pushing almost 1 Gb/s traffic. With Flash streaming so far we didn't get any high traffic customer. I am curious if what is the max traffic from a single server pushed you've seen by using Adobe Flash (commercial, not red5) server?
I've recently moved to a new provider and noticed that one of my sites that was using a flash file uploader without any problems now receives a 406 error whenever a file upload finishes.
After some digging online i found that the problem could be caused by mod_security and found a tutorial which explains that by using .htaccess u can disable mod_security for the particular domain. I've tried that but receiving internal server error who seems to indicate that mod_security is not actually running.
I looked at the domain's error log file and no entry is being written to the log when the error occurs.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix it? Or at least where to look for the causes.
I'm using the following flash uploader: [url]
Server is running CentOS and WHM .. the original server that didnt have a problem with the uploads was running Fedora and WHM.
Im looking at setting up what is essentially a flash game arcade. It will have other purposes, but flash games will be the focus point.
One of the first things I need to decide (along with a website name...) is which hosting company I want to go with. The only company Ive used before were Dreamhost, who had fairly good service but the uptime didnt seem all too great.
Initially there will only be a small amount of traffic, but I want the option to scale my hosting plan easily as I (hopefully) gain more visitors.
A lot of the game files will be lifted from the mochi games feed, but dont want to limit myself to games hosted by mochi, and I still want to be able to cope if I get any big traffic spikes. I also want to host a couple of other smaller sites on the hosting plan, but they shouldnt reach anything near the arcade.
MediaTemples Grid service looks great, but will probably be providing a far greater service than ill need for the first few months. I dont know how long it will take for me to get any decent amount of traffic, the majority of which ill be getting through self sponsorship of games, and I imagine its a fairly slow process getting a decent stream of visitors through that way.
I just dont wanna be paying $100's for serious hosting if I only get a few thousand hits in the first 6 months, which I imagine is likely!
Does anyone have any suggestions for good companies or starter packages? I dont want to pay through the arse, but I would rather pay more for a faster and more reliable service than go for the cheapest option - I want this to be a quality site.
I am looking for a dedicated server for my flash games site. I am currently using 1and1.com for a Titan 16gb ram, 6gb monthly transfer(bandwidth) but not enough. I end up paid almost $2k last month. So I am need is at least 15-20gb bandwidth monthly transfer and about 8gb ram....
I was wondering if anyone could please recommend a good VPS for a flash games website I run. I am currently with Godaddy VPS, but have had too many problems so I am going to cancel my account (once I have found a new host)
What I would like:
Control Panel: Either CPanel or Plesk (not fussy) Good support - I am relatively new to the VPS world. RAM: 256 MB (with option to be upgraded if needed) Bandwidth: 2TB (with option to be upgraded if needed) Diskspace: 5GB +
Uvault.com does flash streaming media, features unlimited connections, and redundant servers. Has been around for a while and is a Macromedia Alliance Partner but I cant find any feedback on them anywhere.
I dont know whats wrong with my server having cpanel but many user complains that there flash animation not working on my server . it hanged during loading and always showing loading on page they provide me prove that its working on some other server.
I tried to post this request before but my post got deleted ( I think because I was new to this forum ) hopefully this time it will get posted.
I bought a flash live chat script which require a dedicated server as they say in the script requirements but I know it would work using a VPS with root access..
The script can run on both Linux and Windows OS and needs red5 and java
according to the script designers such site with about 100 users can use about 500GB of data transfer per month but I am not sure if that is true or not as I haven't had the chance to test it.
I am donating all the expenses as a gift for my church community and looking for help and advise on the best way to host it
Not sure if I can post the name of the script here or not but if I am allowed I will do that, so you guys can see exactly what I need
Anyone know about these scripts and how much bandwidth and data they need to run lets say with 200 users
I am thinking about making a web site that streams HD movies and videos that I have created myself. I was wonder could you use Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 to do so I know i would have to buy a dedicated server and a fast one with a good load of bandwidth. The big question am asking is that can you base a website or content management system around the interactive server.
how to optimize a server for playing flash videos?
Here is our website: operationsports.com
In the right menu you'll notice an embedded flash video player.
Often, we receive complaints that our videos are buffering slowly at the beginning causing the movie to stop/pause for a few seconds. After this pause the remainder of the video buffers lightening quick.
I'd like to remove the pause if possible.
The server is a dual processor linux based server dedicated entirely to our video files.
It has plenty of power.
how to optimize a server for playing flash videos smoothly?
I have a VPS server running on Windows 2003, and would like to stream live videos to about 50-80 people. I was wondering is there a way to have a FLASH based stream embed into my website, without paying for a software like Flash Media Server?
I have VPS with CPanel and CentOS but i need to install Red5

I've only ever had a shared hosting account with Hostgator, plus a few freebie hosts. However, I'm now pulling some heavy traffic and I'm concerned that Hostgator is going to suspend me soon.
My traffic on Saturday for example was ~2600 unique visitors and ~5000 page views. All of this traffic was from WordPress blogs and a small SMF forum. I've since converted one of the blogs to a static site to limit my CPU usage and I've setup caching for my other WordPress blogs. Advice I've heard on the Hostgator forums is that 7000 page views per day for a database driven site is around the time you should be upgrading and based on my traffic from Saturday (which admittedly was a bit of a spike) I could potentially be receiving 150,000 page views/month, so about 20x the point at which they recommend upgrading at.
Anyhows, in a nutshell I need to upgrade, or risk Hostgator throwing a tantrum at me ... but I don't have a lot of cash to pay for an upgrade Due to my lack of cashflow I've been considering moving to a VPS. The company which has interested me the most is HostV.com who offer a 256 MB (with 1000 MB 'burst' RAM) for only US$39.99 which seems quite reasonable to me.
They say that their 256 MB plan should be able to handle over 5000 page views per day for a WordPress run site, but I'm a little suspect. Do any of you know if this is a reasonable expectation from a 256 MB chunk of a virtual server? I have no idea and am always wary of believing the sales pitch of a random company across the other side of the world.
