I tested eaccelerator with php 5.1.6 but I noticed just a very minor performance improvement. Eaccelerator is known for his incompatiblities, also php 5.1 is a big boy now and no longer need an accelerator.
Does anyone have a recommendation for the eaccelerator eaccelerator.shm_ttl setting? If it was left at the default of "0", this means no newer scripts would ever be cached once the memory is full. Or would it do additional caching on disk as well and not show up in the phpino.php file?
We have alloted 32 Megs of Ram for eA. Maybe something like this would help move some old scripts out of the cache?
I am using dreamhost host 3 of my web sites and 1 blog. Dreamhost is great, offers alot space and bandwidth.
but I think they are oversellling their space, sometimes it gets really slow. (overselling ? ok, I dont really know, but sometimes its really slow, and most my asian readers said need to refresh to load the page. I am wondering if theres a way to check if they are overselling or not.)
I am thinking about buying vps, even tho, I still got 5 month left with dreamhost.
I found 2 vps companies are highly recommanded on this forum, JaguarPC and LiquidWeb.
theres already a post compared both companies in terms of price and service. I say I will pick JagarPc, cuz, its basic plan just 20 USD, and htey got promotion now, its even cheaper. and basic Liquidweb vps plan is 60 bucks.
I am wondering why Jagarpc is so cheap , are they overselling? how can we check if they are overselling.
I found a few posts saying how good jaguarPc is. and they are not overselling, but those members just signed up this month, and only have 1-3 posts. I cannot really trust those new members.
Can someone share their experience with JaguarPC? compare JaguarPc performance and liquidweb performance. antoher question is switch from dreamhost to JaguarPC basic vPS plan, will performance gets better?
last question: VPS account allows 3 IP, 3ip = 3 domains? if not, how many domains can I have?
Server is running fine on 2GB memory on Xeon 3060 running on Apache 1.3, php 4.4.6 and mysql 4.1.21
It's only used to host a forum with about 80 members online and a multimedia download section.
Would it be a big difference if I upgrade to 3GB? Like will it support more downloads at once without boggind down the server? Which stuff should I tweak in apache and mysql config to make use of extra gig of ram?
I'm looking for a VPS running Windows Server (preferably 2008, but 2003 is also OK) with 4GB of RAM. Disk space, provided it's at least 50GB, and bandwidth, provided it's at least 100GB/month, aren't really that important.
I've been scouring WHT and Google for something that will meet my needs but have not yet been successful. Does anyone know where I can find such a VPS? Or is there nothing out there and should I concentrate on fully dedicated products?
Although I have switch to using VPS for some time, I still have a question in mind.
Most registrars need 2 ns which 2 IPs are sufficent. Why some hostings are giving 4 IPs?
I ever sign up with one hosting which give 1 IP. If a minimum of 2 IPs is needed, what else can I do other than pay money for an extra IP? Feel cheated.
I have this G4 Apple Xserve that's just sitting collecting dust. What can it be used for? I guess I could install a powerpc flavor of linux. But what can I run on OSX? Game server of some sort?
One of my hosting accounts has tons of extra space on it. Both bandwith and disk space. Enough to easily run one additional site. How can I use that extra space as hosting for another separate domain?
So its like using one hosting account for two different domains.
i was ddos'ed heavily two months ago and my host decided to invest in some ips hardware. even after installation, the targeted ip still had to be null-routed. because of the ddos, i was told the incoming bandwidth was going over my commit (500mbit?) and I had to increase my commit from 100 to 200mbit.
the attacks are over now, but i am stuck with paying for the commit. i am still under contract and i cannot exactly move 22U's of machines easily. i don't know how to proceed. I do not really want to sublease my cabinet out, but i also do not want to pay the extra costs for something that i am not using. I do not mind paying a one-time payment for the bandwidth cost during the attacks, but .. oh well.
has anyone ever subleased their cabinet? what kind of terms should i be offering and watching out for?
KVM/IP switches are a wonderfull thing, aren't they?
Lifesavers they can be..
Anyway, I'm looking for a module compareable to KVM/IP, but with the extra feature to remotely mount an image using an USB port of a server.
Basically so its possible to install a server remotely over IP, w/o having a physicall CD in the KVM/IP switch (or using hardware similar to IPMI's from HP/Dell/SM). Does such hardware excist?
I don't need multiple users to log in, or to control multiple server at the same time (login for each server would be handy though). Only 6~8 ports are required.
The only problem I could forsee with it is that my rack might get messy.. 8 servers, 8x2 powercable (A+B), plus 8x2 UTP, plus KVM, plus USB..
Pair is really well respected (from what I've heard), but their dedicated servers are a lot more expensive than many I've looked at. I've honestly wanted to use them because of their reputation, and my uptime being critical, but wanted to see if there are less expensive servers who are just as good...
i have a webserver (mailserver) already running example ABC.com now i want to buy extra server that will be used only to send newsletter to members of ABC.com. Is it possible to do it? Also i dont want to break the existing mailserver as it is used by staff so this new server has to operate independently but of course this has to appear and has to be legitimate.
One of my idea is to setup a subdomain for ABC.com lets say mail2.abc.com and point to a new server but again how it will appear if i send email from info@abc.com when its subdomain!
I was looking for a domain name and registered it with 1and1 last year, for UK 11 pounds approximately. I then found that they were also charging me approx 30 UK pounds every six months for web hosting space that I did not ask for as I have a great host elsewhere. I have gone to their site and tried to cancel the web hosting while retaining the domain name but it only allows me to cancel the domain name, which I don't want to do. I have tried contacting them multiple times over this additional charge and get stonewalled every time with a standard response that the money is due on my contract. In the circumstances I would like to transfer the domain name to another host as renewal is a couple of months away, but I'm scared that they'll find some way to stop me doing that? ....
I have a fairly busy server, and received a High Load warning from my firewall monitoring software. Showing a high 5 minute load average alert of 13.89.
I'm presuming extra memory and a more powerful CPU would be required to sort this out?

When eAccelerator doesn't have enough free shared memory to cache a new script it will remove all scripts from shared memory cache that haven't been accessed in at least shm_ttl seconds. By default this value is set to "0" which means that eAccelerator won't try to remove any old scripts from shared memory.
Does that mean that once the shared memory is full, that even if a script that is in shared memory hasn't been accessed in 5 months, any new scripts will have to be ran off of the compiled versions on disk instead of being read out of the much-faster RAM?
i installed eAccelerator, everything look good, exept i have a problem with Wifidog-auth server that i have installed, it gives me errors that it cant connect to database.... but not all the times, could eaccelarator be doing this? it was fine before i installed EA

I'm just about to buy my first commercial hosting package. I'm leaning towards 1 and 1 hosting, but I don't know whether to go for the US or UK version. The US version: costs $2.99 a month with 10GB storage and 300GB transfer
The UK version: costs £4.49 a month (about $8) with 1.5 GB storage and 20GB transfer
Are there many big / important advantages to going with a local host, and is it worth the extra cost?
I have a Linux server for shared hosting in which I am using Cpanel/WHM. I have PHP running as suPHP which I believe is for security. The problem I am facing is a lot of PHP based websites create load on the server and consume as much as 10% of the CPU and sometimes some script even consumes 50% CPU. I think I can reduce the load caused by the PHP scripts by installing eAccelerator. However, it does not work with PHP running as suPHP. Can anybody tell me which one should I choose of the both? Is there any other way to reduce the load on the server?
I successfully installed eAccelerator and its already working fine then I decided to update my PHP version which is 5.1.6 to 5.2.6 after the upgrade eAccelerator is no longer loaded I tried recompiling eAccelerator but to no avail it doesnt load anymore I double checked eaccelerator.ini and it was already set. Someone said that the phpize that was installed in my server is not compatible to PHP5.2.6 and it needs to be updated also but I cant seem to update it since it always says that it is already updated.
