High Spec Vps
Jul 21, 2008What vps you can get for 50$-100$ max. I need to find some offers for a friend.
What is needed for this vps, much ram, unmetered bandwith (10mbps), as much HD space as possible. Lxadmin is fine for cp.

What kind of spec would I need for serving direct/hotlinking 100mb+ files? I've looked all over the place but couldn't find anything.
And let say a sudden spike of 400+ people and they are downloading a file [url]simultaneously that is 100mb+ in size.
How much ram would I require?
I am just wondering what specs on a server is needed to run a website like Craigslist, where there will be thousandsd of users posting data into a database and at the same time retrieving information from MySQL database.
We will not be streaming videos or anything of that sort.
Just looking at getting a 1u box with a local provider. They provide .75amps per box.
Previously we have gone a bit crazy and gone with dell 1950s with dual quad cores and a few disks. As you can imagine these specs go well over the .75 amps.
What type of spec server would you recommend for that power? Looking at something for small scale web hosting, duall HDs and about 2gb of ram.
Have ipb forum and im in need for a new server spec.

• Located in the USA
• Linux Ubuntu 7.1/8.04 VPS

• 100 – 150Gig Bandwidth (minimum)
i want to use centos and cpanel to build a server, i will create hundreds account on it, all the accounts will put only pictures or little html files, no php or mysql or mail service on it. the bandwidth of the server may be about 20M ~ 30M all the time, how could i build a economical and stable server to run this? about the hardware, intel e2160 with 8G ram and sata hd, is it enough? or should i need to add which part to get better?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm considering building the following 1U rack server for colocation. I'm completely new to rack servers and colocation so I would be very grateful to hear your opinions:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU
ASUS P5B-VM SE Motherboard
8GB PC5300 667MHz Non-ECC RAM
500GB HDD
345W Power Supply
I also have a few specific questions:Are there any differences between the Q6600 and it's Xeon equivalent? (especially power wise?)
Are there any disadvantages using a desktop motherboard in a (1U) server? (again, especially power wise?)
I've read that non-ECC memory is a lot more acceptable for servers now than it was a few years ago, is this true?
Does a 500GB drive use much more power than a 160GB drive?
How many watts of power can I expect the server to use?
Does a 1U chassis usually come with uATX mounting points?
i dont know the device name so how is it possible for me to check the hdd spec and devices... got centos5
View 6 Replies View Relatedi find some company rent dedicated server to offer download server,
the package of month bandwidth is 1TB,and month fee is about $8,
for a stand server with $120 permonth,
it can only run 15 accounts,
and it will need 15TB per month to use,
i wonder where to buy so cheaper dedicated server can offer 15TB with $120 month fee,
and what hardware to run 15TB but only $120 per month?
I have a cPanel server with 4GB RAM
My server hangs time to time, once or twice a day. This is the last status when it happens.
Server Load 75.90 (2 cpus)
Memory Used 92 %
Swap Used 65.78 %
When I was still inside SSH when it happens, the processes I can see inside "top" are a lot of httpd processes.
So I "killall -9 httpd", I had to do it 30~40 times
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
x 30~40 times until no pid process found & the server load is back to normal.
Before that, I check httpd fullstatus, they look very normal, same goes to what I see inside WHM Apache status & cpu usage status.
At first I thought it was a memory problem after consulting with a server admin, so I replaced all 4GB new ram stick (such a waste)
This is my free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1998 1903 95 0 45 542
-/+ buffers/cache: 1315 683
Swap: 2662 36 2625
Not good ....
I got 5 wordpress and 5 statics website on this server and 100 visitors by 24H00 each day.
Question 1 : Why the memory is so low and the swap so high ?
Question 2 : Why i don't find high usage process in top command ?
Question 3 How can i resolve this problem ?
I run a large service on 2 machines (we're talking 8x2.66Ghz processing power, 4-6GB ram, etc), however we are thinking about creating a node/clustered setup to help spread the load, bandwidth, mysql (having one server for hundreds of thousands of databases is not wise it seems :p), diskspace etc. Lots of machines just seems to be a cheaper and more powerful option.
Would you advise going with lots of lower end machines, or just a few mid-range machines.
Here is what I propose:
3 of these
Dual Xeon 3GHZ Dual-Core (4x3GHz)
3GB RAM
500GB Sata Drive
4000 GB Bandwidth
100mbit
or
4 of these
XEON X3220 QUAD CORE 2.4GHZ 1066FSB
2GB DDR2 RAM (Upgradeable)
250GB HDD
2000GB Bandwidth
100mbit
or
7 of these
Dual Xeon 3.06 Ghz
2GB DDR2 RAM
250GB SATA
2000GB BW/MONTH
100mbit
All of the above are roughly similar prices in total.
My server is very slow, High CPU, High Apache load....
I got a new server and i had setup a script on it.
No server tweaks has been done.
I run a filehosting site so it gets very slow when traffic is high.
Here is some info:

I dont know much about server managment...
how to fix this so server doesnt go slow?
I have a site that is eating up my server resources and need to know what the best solution for this is. I'm thinking of getting another server just for mysql but do not know what specs the server should be to handle the current traffic/database load and have the site run smoothly without slowing down to a snail's pace.
An alternative is to get another server just for the videos being served and leave the database and html on the current server. This is where I'm stuck and don't know what route to take with this.
My current server stats:
Dual Xeon 5130
4GB RAM
250GB
50 Mbit/sec
CentOS 3.9
Website traffic stats:
15,000 visitors/day
150,000 pageviews/day
Serving videos
I've attached screenshots of top and bandwidth usage per day. Hopefully with this information you could tell me if I need another server or if there are any things I can do to the current server to help things move faster.
I am running in a High load problem lately. I have one of those cheap 1and1 servers which was running fine until 2 weeks ago. Once I rebooted accidentaly, it did not come back with some unrepairable kernel errors and I had to re-image it.
I chose to reimage the server with CentOS 5, for better support. The new re-image worked fine for some days, at least so I thought and now I am having high loads. The server crashes if not monitored every moment as the load is unpredictable.
Just a restart of the Apache will bring the server back to normality, but I am not sure if it is apache or some other script to be blamed.
I have beeing monitoring through apache server-status, but I cannot organize something unusual in the high load moments.

=====================================
lsphp is my webserver (litespeed). The sleeping processes are my SHOUTcast servers.
The thing I am concerned about is the "94.3%ni". This is slowing down my server completely and I am not too sure of what it is. Can anyone shed any light on this?
My VPS holds about 80 domains and low-use accounts.
Every night, from around 1.30am, the load suddenly skyrockets and will usually be around 5 to 10 for a few hours. Occasionally it'll spike to 30+ for a few minutes.
I had some antispam software running, and a couple of other packages (mail queues, mail manage etc), so I disabled all of that and removed all the crontab entries etc.
It's not really made any difference.
I can see the load stats going back 8 hours, as part of the ASSP spam package (I've just left the ASSP server load cron running just so I can continue monitoring it!)
Can the apparent load on my VPS be caused by other VPS's on the same node?? So in reality, my load is fine but is being affected by other people's VPS's?
I hope that makes sense. I'm 99% sure that my VPS is 'clean' (in so far as cron entries)
I'm asking the question because I took a second VPS on the same node and that one too has high loads overnight when there's nothing running on it (ie, no add-on software, no Cpanel accounts added)
I have a VPS with LXadmin control panel and 1024 Ram.
the memory always 333-450 but now it is more than 800 and the VPS stopped I restarted it many times but after restarting it the memory gone crazy again.
So, how to know what causes high load and eating my Memory?
Anyone know of any good/cheap high-bandwidth VPS providers? Don't need anything crazy as far as processing power or RAM (512MB with no burstable is fine). Sorta like Slicebox's budget servers, which I've had good experience with.
To e upfront, the box will be used for a little bit of testing, etc. but mostly to seed the latest Windows 7 builds :p. Don't think Microsoft minds all that much...Win7 requires a legitimate beta key to activate (which I have, and I'm not giving anyone mine) and it's a whole lot cheap for them to let people download over BitTorrent than Akamai, which they normally use.
So, any ideas? EU isn't out of the question...anywhere with a lot of/unmetered bandwidth for cheap, and a VPS that's reliable + has at least 512MB of memory for prices comparable (or slightly lower than) to Slicebox.
I've a remote download site that uses tons of BW (about 900GB daily), and it uses sql connection quite alot - I've set it to max connection for my current server.
For now, I've the intention of separating main site with download server. where The main site will contains the sql DB. But my concern is, I want to buy a cheap VPS for the main site, but no idea if I need high BW and ram.
I've got a dedicated with LW.
I've had it for a while and during that time I've never seen the swap memory go over 20%.
A month or so ago, I had the server upgraded to 8GB of ram to make room for more planned sites.
Since then, the swap memory has gone rampant. It regulary goes to 93% used with less than 20% of the regular ram and really no load on the server.
I've contacted support twice about it and was told don't worry it's normal.
From what I've read in the cpanel forum, no it's not normal and may in fact be caused by bad ram chips and if it hits 100% could freeze the server.
There are no processes or users causing it, so It's something else.
Has anybody had this type of problem that they resolved and could share what they did to resolve it?
What is the point of a high end quadcore cpu with 7200 rpm sata drives ?
i see tons of offers with really nice cpu's with either a single sata drive or 2 drives on crappy fake raid.
I have old dual single core xeon servers under 50% cpu usage that end up hitting the disk IO wall before they ever get to over 60% cpu usage.
Either me and my customers dont user software thats crap and eats up cpu for no reason or im missing something.
i have a vps and its quite a new one since i just ordered it and transfered everything from my previous..
But im getting really high cpu useage and im wanting to know whats best ways to optimize this...
I host a podcast that's rapidly gaining popularity. At the moment, we push about 100gb/day of transfer for the episodes, but could easily double that in the next few months. I need a host that does at least 2tb a month with the ability to later upgrade to more. My operating budget is about 110$/month, but could go a little higher if needed.
Most of our activity is composed of sending files, so usage is pretty low. I'd probably only need a few gb to store the actual content (30mb mp3 files). It's also important that Adult material is allowed (the content of the audio podcast is explicit).
I'm aware of FDC and AT&T, but would like any other recommendations you guys could give.
Anyway I can trace down who is doing it or what is going on?

I have a Shared Hosting , and a Vps . i use the VPS to Storage Audio files and Leach to them from my Shared Hosting . the shared hosting Only Has Some php, and Html pages with the links to leach from the vps ..
Now which One Gets The Load , or which one is the One Suffering the Load . the Shared Hosting or the VPS ..
Is there a reason to set a high TTL for DNS? Like the standard is a few days.I set mine to 10 minutes. So whenever I do a change its propagated within 10 minutes. Is there a reason this would be bad? I realize it means more queries to my server, but 10 minutes is still rather long, not like thats going to totally hammer my server,
