View 14 RepliesI have really seen is linux hosting advertised - what is the real difference between linux and windows? They both use Apache and PHP - doesn't windows use more resources with it's GUI?

Why is the SBS cheaper?
I'm hosting wmv,wma,mp3 files, streaming of video can be done with Windows hosting, but my website script is with php.
Do you suggest Windows Server 2008 hosting or redhat linux hosting?
a speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license...
whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers..
So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform
Windows... or Linux
I'm currently hosting some websites using XAMPP/Apache/MySQL (obviously with heavily edited configs) on Windows. The largest site has around 40,000 forum members and grows extensively every day.
Would I see better benefits buying a Linux/*nix server for web hosting needs? What flavour of Linux/*nix would be best suited out of the following options:
CentOS 4 (32 bit)
CentOS 4 (64 bit)
CentOS 5 (32 bit)
CentOS 5 (64 bit)
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch/Stable (32 bit)
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch/Stable (64 bit)
Fedora Core 6 (32 bit)
Fedora Release 7 (32bit)
FreeBSD 6.2 (32 bit)
Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake (32 bit)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - 5 (32 bit)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - 5 (64 bit)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - ES 4 (32 bit)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - ES 4 (64 bit)
Also, would using a control panel such as cPanel (I'd say Plesk, but very bad experience with it on Windows) be beneficial?
The above would be going on a single process Quad Core with 4GB RAM.
I want to know the difference between windows hosting and linux hosting

View 13 Replies View RelatedThis one may be a bit of a stretch, but does anyone know of a shared host who gives you both Windows and Linux hosting with one account? It is possible, as the company myhosting.com seems to offer it, and I think (mt) MediaTemple has some betas with it.
Update: Apparently MyHosting.com does it by giving you a primarily windows account with a linux sub-domain. That would work for me, but I'd rather a more known provider.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhich is better and what are the main differences between these 2 CPUs?
Intel Dual Xeon 2.8GHz Processor
and
Intel Xeon 3360 2.8 GHz Quad Core Processor
I currently run a couple of forum-heavy websites on a Pentium D950 (3.4 GHz 800FSB Dual Core 2x2mb cache). The sites use most resources for mysql and php (via apache), plus some more for email and serving images via tux.
So now I'm looking for an upgrade. I've grabbed the following off the Softlayer website:
Quote:
Server CPU Speed CPU MHz CPU Cache Price
Intel Xeon 5050 2 x 3.00GHz 667MHz 2 x 2MB - HT $179
Intel Xeon 5130 2 x 2.00GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $199
Intel Xeon 5140 2 x 2.33GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $239
Intel Xeon 5160 2 x 3.00GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $279
Intel Xeon 5310 4 x 1.60GHz 1066MHz 1 x 8MB $219
Intel Xeon 5320 4 x 1.86GHz 1066MHz 1 x 8MB $259
Now what do I make of this? First of all, I'm having a hard time relating the CPU speed to the clock speed. The 5050 seems alright to me, but I've read somewhere that Dempseys are already regarded as outdated, so obviously I'm underestimating the importance of clock speed? (Do I get the performance by basically multiplying the clock speed with the CPU speed?) Also, what's up with the quad core? Is that something worth considering for the purpose mentioned above, or will it be wasted on the four cores? What about the lower CPU speed of the quad core - will the faster dual core actually get the same or even more work done?
Or am I looking at the wrong brides and should rather run and get myself two cheapo servers with php on one and mysql on the other? (Or go with one of the above and just take two disks?)
my server is centos with whm/cpanel,
i find there are two httpd.conf in my server,

i want to ask if i want to tune the httpd,
which one i should edit?
and what are the difference of them?
differences between a router, hub and a switch.
I have set up a file/print server using samba on my home network that just uses a simple 4 port linksys router, so I'm relatively familiar with routers.
Its my understanding that a hub, is kind of like a router but w/o a "to modem" spot. So you would use a hub if you just wanted to connect some computers to have a LAN party or something, right? Where there'd be no internet connection. Is this correct?
As far as switches, I get the feeling they are like routers, only better? Because data centers and companies mostly use switches, not routers? Or am I way off? What exactly is different between a switch and a router.
As a supplamental question- I will be starting college next fall, and a friend of mine said that dorm students are not supposed to use routers, but rather switches. Any idea why this would be the case?
And also, along the lines of college networks. Say I wanted to take my server with me to my dorm, how would that work? I know this depends on the university, but how would such a large network like that work- would each dorm have its own public IP address? Or would the dorm have one public IP, then each room have an internal IP? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've really only worked with simple home networking
I have a customer billing system.
I would like crons to run at midnight so that the invoices are on schedule and have the right dates etc.
My server is overseas and my time is plus 14 hrs here.
I have set my software up to plus 14 hrs time difference also.
What should I set my crons to?
I have a problem with Parallels Plesk v12.0
Hosting type on website became "No web hosting."
When I try to change hosting type to "Forwarding" it changes ok.
If I change hosting type to "Website hosting", I get message "The hosting type for "website name" was successfully changed.", but hosting plan still stay "No web hosting"....

View 14 Replies View RelatedI would like to compare what windows shared hosting is currently available to what I'm currently using as I'm getting charges for high bandwidth (20 gigs) for 40 websites which is not really high these days and I have to pay $1 every extra gig & its rising.
I don't want a VPS as I have tried them in the past and it is too much effort to set them up although I will use one in the future when I have the time to set one up properly. ALso with the ones I tried the memory couldn't cope and if I needed to get reasonable performance I would have had to pay a lot of $$$
My requirements are (all to be included in monthly price):
# must be unlimited or at least 50 domains can be hosted
# Offer Helm
# 50 gigs Bandwidth or more
# Clean host (no SEO banning or problems)
# Hosting Company Must not be a reseller - I want the real deal, proven & experienced host that has been around for at least 2 years. I will be doing a lot of research so please don't bother plugging your reseller business.
# I want at least 5 dedicated IP's with package
# Must offer AWStats with each domain
# Price: currently paying around $30 per month so something similar would be good
I am providing linux hosting for a while now, but want to expand my services to windows hosting as well.
I am looking to get a dedicated server, but could use some help in deciding what to chose.
What would be better for windows 2003 hosting? It would normally be used for asp.net pages, and people can use ms sql (but the free msde edition). There will also be mysql on the server.
What would be better, more ram or more cpu?
config 1: less cpu, more ram
Xeon QUAD-CORE Clovertown E5130 (4 times 1,6 Ghz)
8 GB ECC DDR2 ram
config 2: more cpu, less ram
Dual QuadCore 5310 8 times 1.6GHz Cores
4GB ECC DDR2 Ram
Also, I am looking at offering ajax for asp.net. Does this take a lot of resources on the server?
And what about running apps in isolated application pools for every user. Does this take a lot of server resources?
some reliable hosts at nominal rates? I'm looking for maximum uptime and web space for my ecommerce based websites.

I am planning to move my hosting from SHARED to either VPS / Dedicated / Cloud Hosting(MOSSO) .
I am quite confused because:
1. I tried lunarpages VPS, they dont offer multiple MSSQL DB. THey offer only 1 and LIMITED to 1 GB.
2. Dedicated from lunarpages also has some limitations.
3. I heard something called as "cloud hosting" from mosso - Cloud sites, Cloud Files, Cloud servers.. I really dont understand what it means..
Can you please help?
I NEED:
1. Windows hosting - ASP, unlimited MSSQL DB and atleast 10GB space. The site will have atleast 100K visitors / month.
