No support by the author.



Dual Core 3200mhz 2x2mb cache / 5060
( Intel 5060 2 x 2M 3.2 GHz 1066 MHz FSB )
4gb memory
 146gb x 2 10k 3.5" SAS drives
Redundant power supply
Perc 5/i RAID controller

Wow, what a difference some new hardware can make. Right off the bat all my sites are much more reponsive and my # of users online is nearly double. With 600+ users on my forums the speed boost from my older Dell 2650 is very noticible.

When I need a server and don't know for how long I'll need it; I grab one from ev1servers.net - I'm setup and running in minutes. I was a partner in this ISP until it was sold to another ISP and for many years never paid for even bandwidth; I just got used to having my own server.

If I had to do it all over today; I'd probably just go with the rental because its 100% writeoff, no upfront costs and you can always switch servers or plans with no contract.

Nice. I did notice that your PP site loaded faster. Good for you, MPDev.

Actually, PP isn't hosted on my machines; that's AEI's equipment. PP is on a server with only one other site - TechIMO.Com.

And, yes, ntfu2, you can write off your hosting costs 100%.

i am thinking to get something like this...

I dont have so many users like you have online, i have peaks at 400 maybe.
ut i have t2o forums i plan to put on it and they have total peak maybe 700-800 users online same time

The problem is that my forums have huge attachments, one has almost 60 and other 40/45... GB . Do you think this server could handle that ?

is it recommended to put the attachments on a own server ?

do you use raid 0 or raid 1 ?

Who do you CoLo with? Do they rent roof space? (I assume they are in Virginia?). I've been looking around in NC for someone to CoLo with without much luck...I'm right on the border so Virginia is within driving distance.

PM me if you'd rather keep it private.
