Need help finding a new server for my board. · **Released**: 08-30-2006

--EDiT--
I bought a dedicated server, thanks for the help guys!

I would really really like if you could help me out finding a new server for my board.

Some specs about my board:

vb3.6 running on a VPS with
Apache v1.3.36
PHP 5.1.4
MySQL 5.0.24
Dual Dual-Core Opteron 270 with 768Mb Ram and a big fat HD.

Our board has around 120-150 members online at any time, with peaks up to 200 some days.
Holding 4.000 unique visitors everyday and with a bandwidth of 500GB /mo

Can you please recommend me a new server so we can move? Because the actual specs arent working at all for us. Any special server configuration for the DB?

Thank you,
Jack

If you were in the US I'd offer to buy your 270's off you to replace my 246's

4Gigs is doing great for now, my server load never goes upper than 1 with almost 500 users online

you don't nearly need that much CPU/RAM, just get off the VPS and go dedicated. We push similar numbers on our boards, and have barely touched our 3ghz Xeon, with 2GB of RAM. Its still very snappy too. VPS is cheaper sure, but god knows how many other sites you're sharing the box with.

Hi COBRAws: Just curious, who did you end up going to for the server? If it was Liquidweb how are they so far in regards to service and help? They are on my shopping list for a dedicated server.

Shame it's Cpanel - that means you are stuck with apache 1.3, you really want to move to apache2.

No host can offer you "no limit". There is always a limit, after all their servers are connected with x mbit. they have hard drives. they probably have 1000 other customers on the server.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
