Hi, sorry to spam, but as a group of starving startup peeps, I thought I'd ask if anyone has any old desktop/servers which they are planning to throw out? The only proviso is that it has to be in working order and in Sydney so that we can come collect :-)
We plan on using it as our pre-prod environment before we deploy to an dedicated server in the USA (man talk about getting hit with forex fluctuations!!!). Also, on that note - I'd love to hear about the types of servers people have used to host their own projects. I know some folks have deployed Quad Core Xeons with 16GB RAM and Terabytes of disk space for their start-ups - but have < 1000 users / day. What do you think: Overkill or appropriate? We're thinking about running Ubuntu Linux on a VPS in the USA with 294MB RAM - I doubt we'd get more than 100+ users/day for the first few months and we'd be doing well to get 1000+ users/day. Any thoughts on ramping up & scalability would be appreciated :D Cheers, Shaon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Silicon Beach Australia" group.
