I'm using http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/hosting/ . Reading from a previous 
message:

<<<
My web-sites are hosted on http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/hosting/ 
(eonspace.net). It's an operation of one or two people, which I can give the 
details in private emails. I have mostly static HTML there (generated using 
http://web-cpan.berlios.de/latemp/ and uploaded to the server using rsync) and 
a few Perl CGI scripts. It is a few servers hosted in Netvision, and was able 
to successfully sustain at least two Slashdot effects (one of them was thanks 
to Dotan).

I'm happy with the hosting there. There were a few outages or other problems 
(some of them due to my fault), but it has the advantage of being very 
personal service. I can always reach my hostmaster using email, phone/mobile, 
etc. and he'll investigate and remedy the problem I'm having. And the price is 
cheap and affordable.

I should note that the new server supports much more than I'm utilising. They 
are an up-to-date CentOS release with support for most modern stuff and web 
technologies, and I'm getting a fully functional ssh access. I once installed 
a Drupal instance there, but eventually I gave up on the idea of having the 
Drupal-based site I had in mind (of no fault of the hosting service).

Sending SIGQUIT (ctrl-\) to ping will make it print a status line and

Hi,
For US surfers:
I would use http://www.medialayer.com
Relatively small company but their support is fanatical and the speed is
good ( Not optimal for Israelis surfers )

For Israelis surfers:
I would use one of the local Israeli hosting companies.

Re: attaching lots of disks to PowerEdge 860?

Hi,
I would consider buying used server and fill it up with hard drives. Then
using Linux or OpenSolaris to manage them.

We have some "used servers" laying around (and I'd much prefer to use
existing hardware), but we also have (or will have in the not far
future) about ten or more SATA drives to stick into this array and so
far I didn't find a case to put them all in. I got the following
pointers from another mailing list:

http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveAU/productdetail.asp?SKU=16010594
(18 drive bays)
http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/index.php?redir=http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_product_info.php?input[product_code]=EL-PC-343B&input[category_id]=277
(18 drives)

Together with the decommissioned MoBo's/CPU's/Memory we have, these
might do the trick.

Thanks for the advise.

Re: web hosting

2009-09-29 Thread Constantine Shulyupin
Requirements:

disk space 0.5-1 GB
download size of frequent pages - 3MB
average visits - 300 per day ~= 1 GB / day = 30 GB/month
peak load: slashdot effect - 100 K per day ~= 30 Mbps = 300 GB
~ 2 peak days in month = 0.6 TB (GoDaddy failed to service promised
1.5 TB of dedicated hosting)

Fast web access without redundant javascript and flashed. (GoDaddy
uses a lot javascript and flash, and is slow)

FTP access

web or real-time access to access.log and error.log

Most of bandwidth - US,
For Israel I use only small homepage

php, ssh, wiki, svn, blogs could be nice but is not yet necessary

Where to allocate it?
A few additional dollars per month are not very important.

I pay $8 for a Xen host at VPSLink which covers most of these except
for the traffic quota requirement (gives 100Gb per month, for
$20/month you can get 300Gb, more disk space and more dedicated ram):
http://vpslink.com/xen-vps/. It gives more than you specify below
since it's a full private virtual xen host.

With such varying bandwidth requirements, maybe it's worth considering
some cheap CDN (Content Delivery Network) service, e.g. see the
following (a bit old) thread I found by google'ing "cheap cdn":
http://drupal.org/node/218177

Check :). Once you have your own host you can use filezilla, for
instance, to manage files on it, or webmin to completely administrate
it.

Check.

Check.

Check (they are based in Seattle WA and recently opened a DC in New
York with specials to encourage users to move there).

All check once you have your own server.
