it possible to test own server in my home(only to test)
iam haveing centos 5.4 with vmware
need 2mpbs for testing it be good i think so
but only i haveing issue is ip(iam useing dynamic ips
it anyway to test as local server with dynamic ips?
We are a small development team mostly coding in php/mysql as an unpaid hobby. Anyways yesterday our test server had hardware problems and to get a decent new one would be $300. Well this seems a lot to ask for someone that does get any compensation for it. So we are looking for some cheap way of providing a test server. We need at least a way that provides svn, apache w/ php and mysql. We tried to use the webserver, but the head dev didnt like the idea. Any suggestions?
The three devs are in charge of wcreplays.com .
What is the best way to test the speed of a server?
CPU/processing wise, and not bandwidth wise?
I'm trying to test my colocated webserver's bandwidth. I found speed test links such as this one: [url]
If I just run this on from my colocated web server, would the result be credible?
Although I think these tests are designed for dsl/cable subscribers.
Is there any script or method where I can test my server security?

i want to test speed like my customers worldwide.
Let's say you ordered new server,do you make active same moment(install httpd server and all other components)or you running test before like memory and hardware test? If yes,which programs you would recommend to test fully hardware?

So is there any good tools for that? I'm interest how many http queries my server could handle etc.
Here are the Servers IPs which are all located @ Malaysia but different datacenter:
Server 1:
Data Center: Brickfield

My host keeps telling me that it is my connection but my server keeps getting slower and slower. how can I actually test it?

i just buyed a dedicated server with 100mbps dedicated port..
how can i test the traffic on port to see is is realy working on 100mbps?
I have a problem. to buy dedicated server but I don't really know what to buy. I need some kind of stress test for server so that I can be assured that my website won't crash when it will be on front page of digg. Does something like that even exists?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a question getting the setup of my DNS and email server working correctly.
In my mailserver, lets say I set the SMTP server to mail.BLUE.com. Through my DNS, I set an MX record for mail.BLUE.com and I set an A record for mail.BLUE.com to 1.1.1.1.
I create different domains on my mail server and give each an IP address. BLUE.com is 1.1.1.1. RED.com is 2.2.2.2. GREEN.com is 3.3.3.3.
Each domain is setup in my DNS as a forward lookup zone. Each domain has an MX record (mail.domain_name.com) and a A record (pointing mail.domain_name.com to it's IP address). There are other records of course... but they're not important for my question.
When I want to check or send mail from BLUE.com I use mail.BLUE.com. When I want to check or send mail from RED.com I use mail.RED.com. I do this for all my email accounts.
But, when I check dnsstuff.com on any domain besides BLUE.com, it tells me the following:
****************************
mail.RED.com claims to be host mail.BLUE.com [but that host is at 1.1.1.1 (may be cached), not 2.2.2.2].
****************************
Now... this can send and receive mail just fine... but I think this may cause issues when it comes to SPAM settings (some servers may consider our mail SPAM because we're "pretending" to be a different mail server).
So... here's my question... what's the best way to set everything up to run multiple sites and email accounts on one server?
How can I use 1 SMTP mail server (BLUE.com) and get my other domains to pass the dnsstuff.com test?
I understand the risks of not using a datacenter, but for a smallish site to which uptime isn't key, is it possible to get server-quality bandwidth to my house? (No I don't mean like Gigabit, I mean like upwards of 5mbps)? I'd really like to maintain my own server (probably build one).
I live in Milwaukee, so colocation is, AFAIK, out. And while I can save up for and buy a computer every few years, I cannot sustain $80/month. (I am a middle school student. My income isn't exactly regular.)
So the question... can I get an ISP to let me run a server at decent speeds out of my house? Would its costs exceed colocation or that of a dedicated server?
I have a spare machine which is fairly fast, i like to know what are the steps to make a web server from home that actually works well, i have a static IP and a fast internet too.
Which operating system works better and any guide to a step by step setup.
I want to ask if what are the things needed to establish my own server here at home? What are racks? I did some research but I can't understand it.
What are the things needed? RAM? bandwidth where to get? by the way my location is here in philippines
I'm just wondering what the practicalities and problems might be in setting up a web server from home. At the moment we have a 2Mb cable connection but our provider offers a 20Mb connection.
Would it be possible to set up a small hosting business from home with such a connection?
I want to run a server from my home, so I find this provider:
[url]
and the plan is FastAccess 6MB
so with the plan comes a static IP and I asked theyr support and they say YES , I cant run my own server
so here is my question: is that a good idea and what about the speed?
I am currently leasing a VPS and the kbps upload rate is below my upload rate at home, so I am going to save 50 bucks/ month and move it to home.
I plan on using an older dell desktop with 512mb ram. I would like to use this also as sorta a sync host between my laptop and desktop. I would like to be able to sync certain folders and files which would be stored on the server. I also obviously need to have ftp access, smtp (no knowledge of this area), mysql, php, etc. My big question is which OS should I use? I have fiddled around had a local copy of my site working on my main desktop in windows using apache. Should I stick with windows or would I be better served using a linux distro such as ubuntu? I currently have a static IP address at home. How do I handle the nameservers?
Another thing is how easily can I manage things like emails and subdomains?
Can any one tell me, How to perform speed test on my VPS...

So I have designed some software for my brother who owns a business and needed a website to manage his clients and send emails to them and stuff. Right now we are using Hostmonster, which has been pretty good so far.
He was talking to me how it would be nice to be able to email the website and have the site automatically store the information in these emails into a database for information regarding his clients, which I know is possible, but not on a shared host it seems. I have tested my own email receiving script on a test server on my computer and it works fine. So we are continually finding our limits with a shared host. We have been looking into dedicated hosting, but as you all know its quite a price jump to go from $7 a month to $200+.
I got thinking and remembered that my dad has always had a business web plan from our ISP at home (cause he likes fast internet), which according to there website serves 1Mbps upload speed. We also have 2-3 old computers sitting at home that we don't use anymore (2)2ghz pentium 4 Dells and a 3.0ghz+ Pentium 4 HP. I was thinking we could probably just plug one of those into the router, forward some ports and have our own server up and running. For now we would only host this software I made for my bro, which is used by only 4 people, and that's not even at the same time usually. So there is very little load to deal with. But in the future we may put a few other sites that we have in mind which would use PHP and MySQL quite a bit.
I was just curious what some of your opinions were on creating a home server. I was looking at Ubuntu Server edition as a possibility, or XAMPP since all my machines are Windows XP. One machine doesn't work cause the hard drive is out, so if I use that I would probably have to put Ubuntu on it. Any suggestions on good server software would be great! I believe the business web plan my dad has also comes with a static IP as well, so that will help. Look forward to hearing your suggestions!

In the future I'm thinking of running a web server from my residential house.
I currently have rogers cable , but they do not allow you to run a server from their residential internet connection.
Does anyone run a server from their house? What kind of internet connection do you have?
I'm guessing most people don't do this because they find out it cost way to much to get a special connection ran to their house. Colocation might be the only way to go.
