I am wondering, when you are offering MSSQL server in a dedicated server, would you quote your customer a Per Subscriber License? or Per CPU license? It has big big differences. What is the common practice? I have an headache studying the complicated license usage details.

Is there any recommended hosts that offer Dedicated Server with Virtuozzo License. What are the things to look for when choosing a provider for VPS offering. What is the recommended hardware for average VPS hostings.
I remember The Planet used to offer Dedicated Servers with Virtuozzo license a few years back but I couldn't find this information anymore there. Who are the lead players for dedicated servers for VPS currently in the industry?
Is it possible to check the server specs of a particular site? Obviously I mean your competition?

I have thought about providing free image hosting for the members, so I could have 100-300 people hosting sig images and other graphics on the server, which they in turn would link into forums and other places which could create quite a few requests for those graphics.
Is there anyway to quantify what type of load this static, image hosting would create?
The server currently is typically around .05 to .1 server load with nearly flatlined CPU's.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan anyone give me some insight on how VPS licensing works with SPLA? According to my reseller, each VPS needs its own standalone license which seem to differ with what I read somewhere about Microsoft Server 2008 allowing up to 8 virtual stances with 1 license or something like that.

Forget everything you've learned about Windows Server "authenticated" and "unauthenticated" licensing for your monthly SPLA reports. The game has completely changed, and NOT for the better.
Microsoft has changed to "outsourcer" and "non-outsourcer" licensing instead.
Quoting Microsoft:
Quote:
"Outsourcing is an application or service that a service provider manages for their customer. For purposes of this definition, the managed application or service is:
(a) Used by its customer's employees, contractors, agents, or vendors
(b) Not the service provider's intellectual property
I contacted MS directly for clarification on how this applies to webhosting. The response was, if the service provider is (and I quote), "simply managing the infrastructure layer and not managing anything else... in other words just keeping the lights on", that is non-outsourced.
If you are providing any software or management of the environment, even something as simple as Windows Updates or other basic management tasks on the server-- which is the case, for example, if you are running a shared webserver, then it is "outsourced".
Your email server is providing a service that is considered an outsourced service, and you must report (and pay for) an "outsourced" license for that server.
And here is the bad news.
Under the old terms, the Datacenter edition of Windows Server (which allows unlimited VMs at no additional charge on the machine where the license is assigned) cost just under $50/month.
The new "outsourcer" Datacenter license is nearly $250/mo. Yes, you read that right, a whopping 400% monthly license fee increase for Datacenter edition.
A single copy of Windows Server Standard edition is over $75/mo. when used in the outsourcing role.
Other pricing and terms have changed as well, so grab a copy of the new SPUR and READ it. All it takes is a moment of uncertainty to put you wildly out of compliance under this new layer of insanity.

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'm not quite sure how much of Ram I need for my vps, But I'm going to get
1GB Vps from wiredtree.com
Anyone can tell me what kind of website I would be able to run on such an VPS? If it's just wordpress driven website...
Maybe anyone can share how much traffic your site have and how much ram it's using?
At the moment I have website with about 40k uniques/day and ~100k pageloads per day hosted on shared hosting but they have gave me 3days to find another hosting because they say I use to much of their traffic...
current LSN customers (if possible) check what kind of hardware is their server?
I am looking @ Q9550 offer they have.
If somebody could check MB, RAM, HDD models.
Also, is there anyone on their 10TB plan?
Do they really allow customers to do this BW?
I'm just posting a little topic here to see what kind of demand numbers and opinions I might get for the Hybrid VPS industry. Hybrid as in semi-dedicated, being packages like 2GB ram, 25% guaranteed processor, etc. "Semi Dedicated" if you will. I've been considering opening up a sub-company of GeekLayer for a few weeks now that sold fully managed xen virtual private server "hybrids", although be it with a slight twist.

I am planning to set up a VPN server for a group of about 4 people who will use it as an "internet proxy" for *all* their internet connectivity. (They live in a country where internet activity is severely restricted (and monitored), and I think a VPN would be a good solution for them.)
However, I have no idea what kind of processing power or system resources are needed for this kind of situation. Is a simple VPS ok? How much memory would be good? How about server speed?
The server will be linux (probably CentOS) and will use OpenVPN.
I'm thinking that there probably doesn't need to be a whole lot of raw CPU power or RAM, but maybe I'm wrong?
I need to have a private proxy which I want to share with 2 of my friends? What kind of hosting do I need? Also anybody who have experience with setting up private proxies? I only know of setting up web based proxy.

i bought VPS three months back and i am avoiding to disturb their sleeping APAIC but this is the first issue i have with their support , my vps turned offline with out any known reason no billing ,no abusing emails ..etc ...
i have about 80 domains with godaddy and about 30-40 with 1and1. i have two hosting packages with 1and1 a "home" package and a "business" package. i have a main site up on the business package right now. the home package has tons of files from an old forum that really could just be wiped out.
My question is that i have a few sites being developed right now. 3-4 to be exact, can i host them all on the same package? i want each to not be a sub of anything. What do i do? Calling tech support yielded worthless answers. Do i need a different type of account?

I had a pretty hectic week dealing with these 3 customers with ddos problems and got to try a few different ddos datacenters for each of them.
First I got these two anime sites, I put them on mine and a friends staminus box as soon as their dns resolved 1000s of ips came through sending syn on port 80, it would just knock port 80 out filling up contrack table, etc. Id ban a few hundred ips and some ranges 100s more would come. In the bandwidth it only shows about 200kbs incoming as well.
We had put in an emergency ticket with staminus and was told bascially we are idiots and that only 4 packets per second were coming into the server, I was looking at the tcpdump and the kernel was dropping 10-20 thousand packets a second just from the ips id banned.
So after a day or two of this of saying we didnt have an attack I moved them to a gigeservers vps I got from funtoosh at sh3lls.net As soon as I moved the sites over there it stopped dead so giges filters automatically picked it up. So either staminus doesnt protect against that type or what. It seemed like a a regular syn flood.
So for customer 3, this person has had numerous problems dealing with ddos. He says that the attacker has this tool that exploits the verlisign dc++ hub, that it takes over and has every user send ddos to the server of their choice.
he had been on sharktech a few months per my reccomendation, he said they could not stop the attacks. he came to me said this was his last resort, so I said well surely staminus would stop it. As soon as his dns resolved on staminus server it got destroyed, nothing got filtered, couldnt even login the box. I didnt have access to staminus portal so I couldnt file a ticket, I had went in their irc again and could not get them to nullroute the ip, understandable since I didnt have access to the ticket system. So I immediatly deleted his dns and the attacks came for up to 12 hours hitting the ip he used to be on.
Id ban thosands , entire /8 ranges and it would just reload and start hitting again.
These syn floods sent very little data at slow intervals so i see why it was so hard to filter.
SO then I move him to gigeservers vps, his site is now up 12 hours, in netstat you would see teh occasional ip coming in and sending syn then closing connection so I thought it had it filtered. We was celebrating, as soon as we did I relaized I put my foot in my mouth as the attacks started full scale there. Nothing i really could do software wise as the vps kept running out of memory So I just had funtoosh remove the ip.
My client the victim was hanging out in their dc++ hub at zerohour.mafiahub.net and pasting ne the logs translating from romanian on how they commanded the attacks. But supposedly they can connect to any dc++ hub and use this tool to take it over and have every user on the hub send ddos. The tool and exploit they are using is private thank god so it seems only a few romanian hacking groups have this.
This kind of attack could not be filtered at sharktech, staminus, or gigeservers I had tried it on softlayer first, had them add it to ddos guard, it knocked Both my servers offline that was on same subnet. It sends very small packets and slow intervals, there is absolutely nothing you can do software wise.
Just giving everyone a heads up on what kind of methods are being used. If someone does think their hosting can block these attacks via hardware or software id be more then happy to give you the customers name, and they do not care to pay as long as the attacks can be filtered.
I using RHES 4 + cPanel.
I have MySQL 5.x, and PHP 4.4.6.

index.php is at DirectoryIndex, also Addtype shows php extension active at httpd.conf.
but, when I type "php -v" from the shell, i got this message:
