View 11 RepliesGoggle has failed me most miserably on this..I find I need to do some serious
load testing and user traffic simulation. Free software..I find..but it is almost all java-based..which..is not doable easily from a small vps. Uncle Bill has a windows based tool..but that requires a windows-based vps..and those are not cheap nor plentiful.
Ok..two directions this could go:
Linux based do-it-yourself testing and user/load simulation software
*or*
A hosted solution (with a free trial hopefully)
I had used mecury's loadrunner many moons ago..but now that hp has bought it...it seems to now be you-must-have-your-own-server solution now..and not a hosted one.
i have a site typed in German, on a dot de account but it is physically located on a server in VA, USA. Does that hurt me when people search my keywords? Would it benefit me if I moved it to a server located in Germany?

What am I am looking to do is to move my site to a hosted company, and keep my exhange server at home, having the dynamic ip updated through zoneedit, or other.
I have been poking around in zoneedit, and searching the web, but don't seem to be able to work it all out. (the autoupdater, JIP, wants to change the site ip at the same time)
anyone knows file sharing/uploading site hosted on akamai server?

Would you know and kindly tell me if there's a way to limit X number of connections per hosted site?
Because I don't want someone with high traffic forum unfairly stealing most connections for himself, which makes other sites suffer in performance.
I have a blog (hindigo.net) registered and hosted through mydomain.com (Standard Windows Package). For the past days, it has been unaccessible most of the time (either keeps trying to load without success, or loads a blank page).
When accessing the site structure through FTP, all files are fine, and I can access the control panel without any problem.
I tried to get some info on possible server updates from the support, but their answers are not very informative:
- either a server update;
- or the site is working fine (it was indeed yesterday late, as I am in Asian time zone);
- or they ask to put DNS to NSx.MYDOMAIN.COM, while the hosting solution automatically puts NSx.MYDOMAINWEBHOST.COM
Am I the only one facing issues this past days with MyDomain.com, or is this general?
I am in the process of switching to another provider (Infomaniak.ch) anyway, but if this is a personal situation only (e.g. site attack?)
How can i know which site cause load in my server?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a growing website that needs to move from its current single-server setup to using a cluster of servers to deliver its dynamic pages.
My current host does not support load balancing among its servers, so I'm left to configure that on my own. Round-rovin DNS doesn't work for me as I'll need certain http requests to always go to the central server (the one with the master database).
My distro is Redhat 9, and I only access the server remotely through SSH. I'm using Apache 2 (and PHP and Mysql).
Any ideas on the simplest way to do this?
I've read a bit about LVS (http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/) but it seems to require a kernel recompile, which is way beyond the things I would dare to try...
i had an p4 2.8g db server, centos4+mysql4.1. the cpu usage went up to 9X% at peak time (web pages loaded within 2~3sec), so i decide to swtich to a new server with a faster cpu. the new box is core 2 duo e6600, centos5+mysql5.0, having same RAM and HD with the old box. surprisingly , the cpu usage keeps above 150% almost all the time, and web pages cost 10+seconds to load at peak time.
how is it possible? what is the problem here? is the cpu, os, or mysql?
I recently put up a website and after about a week, I suddenly can not access it. The site went down after the host had a problem with the http on the server and it never came back for me but it works for everyone else. It times out while trying to connect in both the web browser and FTP client. The problem appears to be related to my internet connection, because the site won't load on any computer that is using my internet. When I disconnect from my cable and use my cellphone as a modem, the site works fine. The site works for everyone else that has tried though.
Besides changing my IP address, how do I go about getting the site to work?
i have dedicated server
one site on my server compress to my server
cpu and memory
how i can config that the site use of memory only 2% and ...
My machine is pretty good. Here are the specs:
Intel Xeon-Woodcrest 5148-DualCore
3 gigs of ram
250GB Western Digital WD Cavia
I run a forum with a modest amount of traffic along with a content management system handling the other sections of the website. I'm pretty sure the forum isn't the problem though.
The server load for this machine is almost never above a 1. Right now as I type this the load is at 0.17, but it's unbearably slow! Taking up to 16 seconds to load a single page.
What could be causing this? I'm a server n00b. Is there a setting I should be doing to one of my servers configuration files to make it run faster?
My website gets 30-40,000 visitors a day and these problems always occur during peak hours. It would be easier to deal with this though if not for the fact that the server load is always so low. How is it possible for the site to get so slow while the server load is always so low?
I currently have 256MB RAM on a VPS. I was wondering, if I upgrade to 512MB RAM will that increase load times on my website?
If so, should one expect the load times be significantly greater - maybe twice as fast?
i try to backup a folder with many .tar files,
i use mget,the seppd is about 1MB/s,
but wget is about 5-7MB/s,
if Web servers might prioritize servicing Regular GET or a Conditional GET.
I have seen busy servers take 9 seconds to respond with a (304 Not modified). On fast networks (LANs), the file size is no issue and, it seems that a (200 OK) with the object is downloaded faster than the (304 Not modified) response alone.
Wiseowl. Not so wise on this one.
I seem to be experiencing slower bw throughput in speedtests on my server today on a domain that is on a shared ip as a virtualhost in apache 2.2.x on fedora core 6.
Right now this domain is pushing somewhere around 35Mbits out and 1Mbit in.
When I d/l from this domain I see pausing and overall performance is roughly 1/2 of what it was yesterday (400K/sec versus ~800K yesterday), when the site was only doing about 3Mbits.
However, another domain on this same server that is not on a shared IP, when I test it, I get my usual 100% d/l speed.
My server is not under heavy load, .02, .06, .00 with 95% idle cpu.
I'm just wondering, should sites with high bw use definitely have their own IP, as shared/virtual hosting is known to cause slowness?
I would just like to no how you would load balance 2 sites. Would this be done via dns settings. EG
instead of seting the domain to something like
ns1.server1.com ns2.server1.com
would it be?
n1.server1.com ns2.server2.com
I have 2 reseller accounts with one provider, and in the last several days I have noticed that when you visit the site for the first time, my AV software detects a trojan on the site, but the code & html files are 100% clean!
I'm suspecting that there is something being injected into the scripts from the server daemons that's either running or something else.
Anyone have any suggestions?
what can make site load faster other than replication
(well lets assume that design wise it is ok and doesnt content heavy contents...)
i have heard that increasing networking speed at the server level can make site much faster...
is it true..?
is there any tweak bandwidth wise...
suppose we get 1tb bandwidth per month compared to 100gb ...
will that make site faster...
we want to host a photogalley site...which is fast or images are shown in faster way....
I have seen 1 vps provider having very poor ping results in few online ping sites and they have a very cluster slow loading pages as well.
One of my friend has a package with them, the ping results are very poor even for him as well. Just made an traceroute found its on some node1.vpsprovider.com
Ya, one more major important similarity noticed was, the vps provider emails weren't set properly to yahoo mail, and my friend's emails sent from the server to yahoo weren't delivered as well.
So if the vps provider has poor content may be due to firewall or internal settings do the systems under the node also be affected?
I have no problems with my host so nothing to be worried about, but need to help him as he is just starting it out with a cheaper vps
if i use uk2.net's dedicated, will my US users feel slower connection?
if i host my site on uk2.net, will the site load slower for US visitors because the server is in uk ?
what about FDCservers, and serverpronto, any opinions on them ?
uk2.net appeals because of the price.
Anyone had any experience with "WorldStream.nl" in the Netherlands?
Their price is right, hopefully the service is too.
We used Red Hat with ext2 as our file system on an old server with 100k+ of image files in a single directory. This seemed to preform ok until we switched to FreeBSD using UFS. Now images load very slow. I have read that Ext2 uses and internal hash to speed lookups, while UFS does linear searches for lookups.

We've been reading this site for awhile a colleague, who is a member, suggested we post a request here. We are looking for a NETHERLANDS-based dedicated server hosting company (which, obviously means a Netherlands datacenter) for our single dedicated server. We're not interested in hosting companies based in other countries but offering NL servers; just those that are NL based.
Our business is perfectly legal (as explained below) and we have neither the time nor inclination to debate the merits of our needs and would appreciate respect for that position (as we have read some of the reactions to such requests by US members for non-US servers and many have been less than respectful).
That said, here are three NL providers we're NOT interested in:
Leaseweb. That is based largely on a recent post in which they indicated they shut down servers with little notice if they get even one, even unsubstantiated, complaint about a TOS violation but also because we've read nightmare stories about how they treat small businesses and individual customers. Apparently, they've become too big for small accounts and our business server is as mission-critical to us as their big business clients. We need a provider that respects small business.
Server Boost. We have a VPS with them (we won't say under which domain name or IP address) but are still trying to work out the kinks in that rather new relationship so won't use them for our dedi at this time. That VPS will be the slave to our dedi.
i3D.net. They are our current dedi provider with whom we have a Rackserver but it isn't working out for a variety of reasons, the most important being we have no remote access control panel or power management. Right now, we are required to pay for OS reinstalls and just about anything else we need that's not a simple reboot. We don't necessarily believe they are a bad provider and don't want to malign them but our experience with them makes us disinclined to upgrade to a Dell server (and we are "anti-Dell" because of our personal experiences with Dell, anyway). We don't believe most customers feel this way about since their offerings are certainly suitable for most needs.
Therefore, we're looking for different alternatives from Leaseweb, i3D and Server Boost that are reputable, provide high-quality servers and solid, English-speaking, tech support at a reasonable monthly price. (We liked, for example, what OVH was offering but their NL site is in Dutch, only, and we don't want a UK server.)

(**Lack of these important features is why we're switching providers.)
Prospective providers should be clear that this server is for our completely legal, US-based businesses that represent high-profile individuals engaged in legal business activities themselves. We will host several websites and blogs that are business-oriented and targeted to them, C-suite decision-makers who contract for our services and their audiences.
Our sites will contain NO adult content (legal or otherwise, whether it's called porn, erotica, or whatever), warez, torrents, copyrighted material for which we don't have permission to post/use, or overtly controversial materials like anti-government, hate speech, etc. We won't be spamming, phishing or doing IRC. We will not market to or represent clients who engage in such activities, even if legal in their jurisdiction.
We are not going to be hosting others' websites and our sites/blogs aren't expected to generate excessively high traffic. We use IP addresses for NS purposes and other purposes for which separate IP addresses are needed. So, we won't need DDoS or similar protection.
Our budget is €125.
Please give us your hosting-provider (only) suggestions. We'd prefer only recommendations of NL-based providers you've used. SERIOUS responses only; due to time constraints, we're forced to ignore any responses that don't adhere to our request for provider recommendations or attempt to debate the merits or our needs.
