I am kind of new to the idea of colo and am curious how you know the amount of amps to purchase for your server? I want my machine to have enough to run efficiently without causing hardware failures.
quad-core intel xeon 3.0 ghz
8 gb ram
4 x 300 gb hdds
Just wanted to post my experience with Cari.Net.
I was chatting with Drew online, he was very professional and helpful. We discussed my needs, the price and their network. Then I decided to give it a try. My server was delivered within half an hour. It was very fast in my estimation. A+ on the sales and delivery.
I will post my review later on down the road about the performance. But even now I get incredible speeds from my server.
A+ Cari.Net, keep up the good work.
I have one Core2 Duo E6300 (TDP 65W), one 250GB HDD SATA, and one 2GB DDR2 RAM module.
How many Amps should this server use, in a 220V circuit?
I have always found this odd and do not understand enough to figure it out.
Any knowledgeable people would be cool.
My datacenter has given me 2amp circuit for my computer. It seems to run fine on it.
Looking at the back of my power supply it says the following
520Watt max
Input rating
100-240v~,50-60Hz
7A-3A
Output rating
+3.3V & +5V combined 150W max
12V combined current 39A max
(and a lot of other stuff on amps and volts for output).
Now, Watts = Volts * Amps.
So if I have 520watts and 12 volts would be 43 amps
If it means 520 watts and 3.3volts it would be 157 amps
However it seems to max at 39amps on the back for output.
I imagine input is all that matters here and at 520 watts and 100 to 240volts that would be
5.2 amps to 2.16 amps
And the thing says 7amps to 3 amps on the back for input.
So....I imagine that is the max it can pull before dying.
However, I have 4 drives, 4 ram sticks, and 2 quad core cpus all going and I would figure I am at least halfway or more of the power use.
And the power says it starts at 3amps anyway.
But I only get 2amps.
I have one server now which will be doing some intense PHP/MySQL serving. I want to grow into a second server that will handle the Apache server and leave MySQL on the original box.
Question is whether I can get something decent that will only pull .5 AMPS? Why? I have to choose a co-location provider and have narrowed it down to 2- the one I like very much because will give me 7U of rack space for $200 a month- but they limit you to 2 AMPS and my Dell SC1435 pulls about 1.4 at top usage.
The other option is another co-lo (closer to my home) that is just 1U space and costs $149 for the 1 Mbps burstable. So the it will cost $298 a month when I add the second server.
So can anyone suggest some decent low energy boxes for serving (for example) 250 very low storage CMS (Joomla) sites where the database backend is offloaded to another server (connected via each server's secondary LAN port)?
We are taking server from US and we have to send 5000USD/Mo. to US.

how to limit the amount of data transfered for a single client in a share hosting scenario using Windows 2003/2008 and NOT using a off-the-shelf control panel.
Within IIS you can limit the number of connections and throttle the transfer rate, but I don't see how to limit the amount of data transferred.
Are the Control Panels monitoring the log files and totaling the amount of data transferred or is there another way to implement data transfer limits?
I currently have a reseller accounts from Thawte, Comodo, and RapidSSL, but have realized that I can purchase Comodo and Geotrust SSL certificates cheaper from Namecheap.com and Enom.com
Namecheap.com support is (as always) superb. Any opinions from Enom.com support?
What about Resellerclub.com? I know that they recently started to sell Thawte certs at very good prices. How good is their support?
I am having a hard time trying to find Apacer RAM sticks. Specifically I am looking for part number 77.G1147.402 1GB REG PC3200 CL3.
We have Apacer RAM in some of our older servers and need to stock up the on-site spares.
I have checked all the normal places like Provantage, New Egg and a few others but can't locate any Apacer RAM for the life of me.
Many guy will be answer: "yes, we are interested". And many DC have a such offer. But, usually it mean some time for setup - from 15 minute to few hours. I speak about true instant server - you will select config what comply to your requirements, order it, pay for invoice and within a few minutes after payment receive welcome message.
What you think about such offer? What server config will be interesting and with what O/S, addons, budget, etc.
Which is the best place to purchase SuperMicro servers from, Germany or some other European country? Mind you that they will be deployed in Germany!
I am in search of SuperMicro servers as you can read from the title. What I need is to purchase 6-10 SuperMicro servers which will eventually be deployed in Germany. So the question here is whether it would be more suitable, with regards to prices, to purchase the servers from Germany or from some other European country that has better offers?
From my previous experience I know that unless I purchase a domain-only validated
SSL cert, I will need to send to the registrar documentation of the company owner of
the domain the SSL will be attached to. I remember that from the times when Verisign
was the monopoly.

We are about to install 4 Compaq Proliant DL360 servers and a small Linsys switch into a data centre but I have no idea how many amps a small setup like this is going use? What kinda power does a server generally use and is there a way to keep the power it pulls to a minimum.

if any of you know the charging amps of a smart ups 3000 or 2200(I cant find it on the apc site)?... I'm thinking to use it to charge a 48v golf cart... anything bad about doing this?.. I'm thinking the golf cart batteries are too large and may take a couple days to charge with the ups...
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat do you guys think about putting 40 Amps into one rack? Our colocation provider wants to whine about it and not allow it. When we're paying them $1000+ a month - I think this is just shoddy. They say it's for heat concerns - but really this just makes me mad. We have fifteen 1U servers in there, and can't get much more on our existing 20 amps.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently got a quote for server co-location at Hurricaine Electric in Fremont CA- they quoted me a good rate for my 1U server, but added that it only comes with 2.5 AMPs. My new Dell SC1450 has a 600W power supply- so it could be drawing 6.667 AMPs- any tips on how I can figure out what it's actually drawing?
View 0 Replies View RelatedJust have a question for everyone. Does having a Dedicated IP on your shared service affect your purchase decision?
(i.e., When searching for Shared Web Hosting, do you make it a requirement that you get assigned your own Unique IP or do you not care if you are assigned the Main Box IP.)
I would really appreciate a response from anybody who works in a datacentre or runs any R200's.
Im trying to find out how many amps a R200 is likely to use on the following specs.
Quad Core Intel® Xeon® X3360, 2.83GHz, 2x6MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB
4GB Memory, DDR2, 800MHz (4x1GB Dual Ranked DIMMs)
C1 - Onboard SATA, 1 Drive connected to Onboard SATA Controller - No RAID

Ive been on the dell calc and they dont even have the processor that im after in their calc for me to get a bearing... even then i couldnt trust it.
Here is the actuall link to the server im talking about.
[url]
c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&kc=305&l=en&oc=SV4R200&s=bsd&sbc=pedge_r200
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.
Here are my requirements:
A. Space: 1/2 a secured cabinet
B. Location : Bay area
C. Power: 8 amps
D. B/w: 1 Mbps
I got quotes from
A. www.bayarea.net for 1 cabinet with 20 amps $699
B. www.he.net for 1 cabinet with 15 amps $600
C. www.svcolo.com/ for 1 cabinet with 15 amps $695
I am wondering who can give me 1/2 a secured cabinet for around $300 to $400
How do i know the amount of ram allocated to me?
How will i know if my account is allocated with the ram i bought.
How will i know if my host is over selling?
My sites are going down frequently, I have to restart apache to get them back.I checked the cpu and memory usage logs on whm, and they are well with in limits.
But my hosting support fellow is saying other wise.

Our logs indicate that from time to time your VPS is going above the RAM Guarantee, this puts your services in danger of going offline until the RAM usage is back under the guarantee. If you continue to see these problems, we recommend either reducing the RAM usage by disabling any unused services, purchasing a guaranteed RAM upgrade, or upgrading to the next plan, to help alleviate the problem.
I've been with zone.net for a couple months now, and I have a guaranteed 512MB of memory, which I seem to constantly be hitting, which seems to result in processes being killed and http access vanishing. Growing quite annoying.
I'm looking into moving onto a new provider that can provide more guaranteed RAM for about the same price.
Space isn't a huge deal, I'd do fine with a meager 5GB. Bandwidth I need at least 200GB, but wouldn't mind more.
I'd like to stay managed if possible, as I'm not as well versed in server workings as I should be. Also am in need of cPanel, which I know is a spendy sucker.
My budget is something around $70 a month, and I don't really want to go much higher than that. Still a poor college boy :/
Can anyone suggest such a provider? I've browsed around a lot of the VPS hosts but can't seem to find one that has as much RAM as I need for a decent price. All the ones that seem to have 512MB+ are pretty expensive, and offer a lot more other stuff (space/bandwidth) than I need.
As a final note, the line speed isn't that big of a deal. I'm currently on a 3mbit and am surviving, but going back to a higher speed line would be great
I started tracking and collecting information about every page load on my site, which made the DB grow very fast. In 24 hours I had over 1.4 million INSERTs, so the DB will grow by over 170MB/day. The inserts so far didnt affect the performance of the server (dual clovertown, 4gb ram, SCSI HD), but at this rate the DB will grow by over 5GB per month. Is it a good idea to let the DB grow to those sizes? Would it affect performance if a table had several 10s of millions of rows? Public doesnt run any SELECT/UPDATE queries on that table, only admin does (me).
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have been using this command:
Code:
tar -cpvf backup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.tar --exclude=/var/www/html/tempjunk /var/www/html
To make some backups. It works fine, but here's the problem: it really takes a toll on server load. Server load seems to go up at by around +3 or more. I'm wondering if there is a way to use less CPU usage on that command, or is there another command that uses less usage. I'm not concerned if it backs up slower by starving the amount of CPU usage it has, so if there's a way to do this any method?
I'm currently hosting my website on core2duo / 2GB RAM dedicated server. Thing is, programmer did a VERY good job optimizing scripts and this server is way too much than I need. The average server load is usually 0.00 - 0.20. I'm thinking of switching to either a cheaper dedicated server or VPS.
We use 300GB-1TB of bandwidth per month though. 90% of our traffic is from US. Do you know any good VPS solution for this?
I've gotten several messages from cpanel like this:
5 login failures attempts to account mysql (system) -- too many attempts from this ip
I wasn't sure if this would be better posted in the resellers forum, but that seemed to generally be reviews of companies.
Anyway, I work for a company who is trying to move a large amount of sites from one server to a new one. I was looking for the best way to handle this, since you run into issues with mySQL databases, file permission getting lost in ftp, ect.
I have a plesk server with qmail. I would like to limit the amount of mails been sent per day per mail box or per domain.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI got a dedicated server which hosted 45 sites, one of those sites contains a vbulletin forum application since january 2007 , but from two weeks i found that there is a high amount of Queries from the this database which leads the server load to be always in RED and exceeds 200 or 300! and the memory is totally consumed!
i tried alot to solve this problem as :
- reinstall the vb.
- change the vb path to another ( considering it as attack)
- installing BFD , APF , ( considering it as attack )
- upgrading to apache 2.2.6 , PHP 5.2.5 , MySQL 5.0.24 ( considering it as a bug)
this is the sample of queries.
