CPU Choice

Feb 23, 2007

I have a dual processor xeon 1.8 server

The 2 cpu's are xeon 1.8 with 512 L2 cache and 400 fsb

I am thinking of trying to give the server a little more power with faster processors, using the same board.

The board can take any xeon 603 pin cpu as long as it is 400 fsb.

So here is what I have found, that my server can take as far as cpu options, I am asking for more opinions on which choices of the following processors would be better for a busy server.

dual 2.8 xeon processors with 512 L2 cache

dual 2.0 xeon processors with 512 L2 cache and 1 gb L3 cache

dual 2.0 xeon processors with 512 L2 cache and 2 gb L3 cache

Please let me know your opinions, I have some ideas, but I am looking for feedback.

And please only talk about the xeons above, and not amd etc.

DB Server Choice

Nov 2, 2008

I am about to outgrow my current server and want to upgrade to a set-up with one web server (my current one) and a new separate database server. I am very happy with my current host (Liquidweb) and want to stay with them. So I need to decide which option from them will best suit my needs.

Questions:

1 - I have a standard LAMP website, but with a fairly large db and plans to add others. My understanding is that the biggest factor in db performance will be the amount of RAM I have installed. They offer a Q6600 Quad Core that will take 8GB of RAM. The only other servers they have which take more than 4GB cost at least $180/month more. I don’t think the extra CPU will make much difference, and I am hoping that 8GB will be enough RAM for a good while (my current box has 2GB, but that isn’t really enough anymore).
So I think that my choice is obvious, but I recognize that I am really only guessing and would appreciate any advice about whether or not this would, in fact, be the best server for me.

2- I can order the server with a 32 or 64 bit OS for the same price. I don’t have any idea regarding which would be better. I don’t know which system my current server is running or whether both boxes need to have the same OS. Also, I am currently running MySQL4 but will probably upgrade the new server to 5. I have read elsewhere that there is a 64 bit version of MySQL that is needed to make maximum use of installed RAM, but I really don’t understand all the issues involved here. Is there something I need to know before I set this server up to make sure that I get maximum performance from it? I will, of course, also be running PHP on it.

As you see, my understanding of server requirements is very limited.

AlphaRed Still A Bad Choice

Jun 9, 2007

I saw an alphared banner the other day here on WHT, and checked out their prices, and WOW (Yes, I know the old adage...I don't need to hear it...)

I did some searching and read all about the drama that happened around them several years ago. I'm not interested in that. I want to know how they are now. Has the level of service gone up or is it still in the crapper?

Bluehost A Good Choice

Nov 6, 2009

I can only state my own experiences with Bluehost. As a longtime web designer I have been sending my clients to Bluehost for years. In fact I started a web service at that will do free setup and install of Wordpress if you open a account with Bluehost. I like to keep all my clients in one place. I have had no problems with Bluehost over the past five years. If a client's website starts to get many hits and more traffic than a standard shared hosting account can handle I then move them over to a real VPS. But if your just starting out Bluehost and a service like mine is a good choice.

Is Namecheap A Good Choice For Me

Mar 31, 2009

I am a little upset because I host my forum and other sites on my friend's server who has dedicated server, but now he is closing his hosting business

My forum opens very fast with his servers but now I have to go to somewhere else, I just contacted Namecheap and asked if I can host my little-busy forum there or not on their shared hosting package.

They will reply me but I want to know your advices too about Namecheap. Is it good choice to host a VBulletin forum on shared hosting from Namecheap?

Or I should buy their Business Hosting Package?

I don't want to buy VPS or Dedicated Server because I don't have much knowledge of hosting and I have heard that VPS and Dedicated servers are very difficult to manage for person like me

Best Choice For Dedicated Server?

Jul 4, 2008

I'm in the market for a dedicated server once more, and since Theplanet was going down hill the last time I was there (9 months ago), I don't imagine they've gotten much better (After the merger with Ev1).

So I need to find a new datacenter, however my problem is... I'm unsure what I want to go for - currently I have $1200 that I can dedicate to a server, so a 6 or 12 month plan would be ideal or possibly even co-location. As for the actual SERVER - I need a place that offers Linux/BSD, cPanel, at least 2gB of memory, and half way decent processors.
Any help would be appreciated - the only datacenters I have been with over the past 5 years are Ev1/Rackshack, and Theplanet/Servermatrix.

OS Choice, Control Panel

Feb 6, 2008

I'm moving to another server in the next day. I've got a choice for an operating system (as I did last time). I thought I'd ask for opinions, thoughts, and experiences with the choices.

FreeBSD
Fedora Core 7
CentOS

A little info about the sites. I host 2 Gallery sites, a fairly popular Drupal based site, a relatively static PHP site, and soon and osCommerce powered site. I use PHP and MySQL a good bit. The server is managed by Plesk 8.3 right now. Which takes me to my other question.

What other control panels are available that offer good feature sets and low overhead (resource wise)? I'm impressed with the look of Plesk, but the workings leave something to be desired. My server comes with Plesk unless I tell them otherwise. They don't offer an alternate control panel solution.

As far as technical knowledge goes, I work with Linux (SLES/SLED) on a fairly regular basis. So I'm not a complete rookie. But I definitely don't consider myself an expert.

Is A Reseller Host A Good Choice

Oct 13, 2009

I noticed a trend - I don't know if it's very new, but it can't be very old either - that quite a few people are looking for hosting and specifically ask that the host is not a reseller. Obviously they have somehow decided that a reseller is not a good choice for them.

A host that rents servers from a datacenter and then sells shared hosting and/or reseller hosting accounts or whatever other types of packages, is in fact reselling what it has bought from its provider. Despite that, it is generally regarded as a full-fledged host. Sure, they do take care that the servers are managed properly, that they are secure, they provide customer support, so they add to the original product that they have bought, but in essence they are resellers.

The first one is that the reliability, the uptime and server performance depend almost entirely on the upstream provider (the host behind the reseller). Considering that the reseller did a good job in finding a great upstream host, these things should be fine, but, unfortunately, in their search to get the best deal out there, many hosting resellers (if not most of them) end up being hosted for just a few bucks a month on highly overcrowded servers with stability and performance problems, frequent downtime etc. which will in turn translate into poor service for the end user.

The other major concern is the knowledgeability of the reseller. The very ease of becoming a reseller and the fact that almost anyone, or, as a WebHostingTalk user said it once, "anybody and his dog", can be a reseller, makes it very hard for some to trust a hosting reseller.

I would never say a reseller is a bad choice, but some things are not to be expected from a reseller. For example most resellers are a one man show and thus 24/7 365 days a year support can not be achieved without outsourcing some of it. This however is not a very cost effective solution for low volumes and this is why most resellers provide all the support themselves, which will obviously not be 24/7.

Also a reseller has only so much freedom on the server. A reseller cannot do some things and has to ask his own host to do them for him. That means it will take longer for those things to get solved.

On the plus side, a reseller often gets to know his customers and their needs and the client-reseller relationship often gets quite close. A friendly tone is worth for some people more than a 99.99% uptime statistic. If you're one of those people a reseller could very well be the right choice.

I am running some blogs on JustHost, a WordPress Web Hosting recommended by WordPress. You can visit my JustHost Review for reference.

Is A Core2Quad Q6600 A Good Choice For A CPU

Dec 3, 2008

Is a Core2Quad Q6600 cpu a good choice in a dedicated server compared to a Xenon or Dual Xenons?

I'm sepcifically looking at this page...[url]

Is this a good deal?

The 1TB SATA can be swapped for a 300GB SCSI at no extra cost.

Intended for a vbulletin forum so lots of database queries, I assume the 8GB ram would be good for that.

I plan on targeting mainly customers within the UK at first but will expand soon.

I expect to be getting around 10,000 visitors a month to start with and will expand rapidly. What Webhost should I be looking at? What are the things that I need to look out for specifically? Should I go for Shared or VPS?

Good Choice Aside From Hostgator Or ASO For Pro-bono Clients

Jan 30, 2009

I have a pro-bono client...a gardening group, say 200 or so not-too-tech savvy folks who need hosting. A very small (16M) simple-minded site with 2-3 PHP scripts for form responses and a Gmail userid for receiving public questions and answering them. Okay?
They need a site where, if I get run over by a semi, they can take over for awhile if needed, until they find someone else.

ASO is only for ubergeeks, as I've seen in their forum (especially), their wiki, and somewhat in their tech support. Even *I* am no ubergeek, much less, my clients. Hostgator for their smallest plan, at the $4.95 price requires 3-years up front, else $8.95 per year: a bit much for my not-for-profit group. (And Lifehacker says, Hostgator is just a reseller for The Planet...)

Coldfusion And Linux/cpanel

How To Troubleshoot A Linux VPS With CPanel

Nov 20, 2007

I'm having some problems with my new VPS server. The server is running under Linux with Plesk (sorry type error on the title, it's not CPanel but Plesk instead).

The server is working fine most of the time, however, once every one or two weeks, the server can be extremely slow or completely down. The only thing that I can do the solve the problem is to restart the server. Once the server is restarted, everything is back to normal. There's once, I couldn't even go to the control panel, the server restarted by itself after 45 minutes later.

I tried contacted the server administrator, they said they couldn't do any debugging for me since I have restarted the server. Their response is very slow, I couldn't wait for a few hours just to let them troubleshoot. And since this is unmanaged VPS, they seems to be reluctant to teach me on how to troubleshoot it. They just asked me whether I had done some troubleshooting whether it's a DDOS attack or just some optimization is required for the server. They are asking back the question to me! Due to some reasons, we can afford a downtime of more than half a day to switch the server, so meantime, I have to learn on troubleshooting the problem myself.

So, I will like to know if similar things happened, what should I do? Can I use Plesk to check? Or I need to login using SSH to check the server?

What companies would you recommend for Dedicated Server Management?

We would also want this server management company to move the website and provide a suitable level of security going forward.

We do not have the people to manage the server (it is only a few of us plus application programmers). It is just that we need to keep costs reasonable. I do not want to pay more than $100 per month and would like to pay less.

Linux/cPanel Blank Screen

Sep 25, 2007

I have a server that crash at random time intervals. Mostly it crashes in between 7 days. The console is just chowing a blank screen.

The specs of the system are:
Linux Distro: CentOS 4.5, kernel 2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp (tried multiple kernels).
Control Panel: cPanel 11.x
Hardware Info:Tyan server barebone - GT20 B5350G20S4H
dual processor intel xeon
4 GB Reg. DDR RAM
4 x 250 GB Western Digital WD2500JS-00 Hard Disks
ARECA-1110 4xSATAII PCI-X Raid controller.

I tried everything on the software part. Update the kernel, keep system software up to date. Nothing workerd.
The load is just normal and memory usage is only 1GB out of 4GB.
There are no entries in the log files witch are pointing to an error.

Everything is leading to an hardware issue. I suspect the raid controller or memory. The power supply is not an problem I think because the server consumes still power when it has a blank screen.
