| 665775 | 2008-05-04 10:18:00 | does anyone have or had a web server. i have a home webserver hosting a rather basic site but its better than some so called hosting sites as they either had too many restrictions or not enough space for my liking so i just made my own:D. ok the bandwidth sucks (home DSL which is in a semi rural/out of zone for decent speeds:() but at least at home i get 100Mbps LAN direct to the server. some specs 533Mhz intel celeron 1024Mb ram 4 gig boot 40 gig web storage WAMP server package for apache, mysql, php filezilla FTP server (port 21 ftp) TightVNC for remote admin running windows 2000 SP4 (fully patched):D ok windows isnt the obvious choice for a server, might have a shot at a linux server later.:nerd: link: http://resistorhelper.no-ip.org |

| 665776 | 2008-05-04 10:38:00 | Many people here run servers - was there something you wanted to know? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 665777 | 2008-05-04 10:41:00 | was just wondering who had them and what kind of config they had | williamF (115) | ||
| 665778 | 2008-05-04 11:03:00 | Mine: debian linux (some on etch, some on lenny) apache2 or lighttpd usually mysql, occasionally postgresql mainly php, some perl, occasionally python Some servers are dedicated, some are VPS. Ram & CPU vary, nothing under 384mb/1.6GHz P4. Some are dedicated to serving websites, some do other things too. I also admin other systems which aren't soley mine; these vary more widely in specs. Note that I don't serve public sites from my home dsl line - anything public goes on a datacentre connection, dsl is too slow and not reliable enough. |

| 665779 | 2008-05-04 11:07:00 | My primary server is not really a web server, but a VPS Server, so its kind of a webserver. It's on a datacenter connection in Vancouver, Canada. Specs are here: mars.codev.co.nz It actually has 2GB of memory, but the memory you don't see is reserved for the VPSs I have a few VPSs on it, for web/mail etc etc Like Bletch, i wouldn't host anything on home DSL, i tried for a while, but it proved pointless. |

| 665780 | 2008-05-04 11:12:00 | lol my server is a bit on the slow side then but has plenty ram. mines just low traffic eg not many hits per day but i use it as a general use server for images and linking files etc which is somewhat handy. plus i can lend/give people some space for serving there pages, testing pages etc | williamF (115) | ||
| 665781 | 2008-05-04 11:30:00 | www.speedtest.net recent speed test of my connection. its reasonably reliable, only had a few drop outs one was due to the plugpack falling out and most of the dropouts was the server needing to be reset for updates asside from that i havent had major dropouts etc |

| 665782 | 2008-05-04 11:33:00 | Yikes - those speeds are complete and utter shit! Might I suggest upgrading to a fullspeed upload if you intend on serving anything over that? Or else get something through a hosting provider, or rent a VPS or something. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 665783 | 2008-05-04 11:35:00 | [QUOTE=williamF;670320 mines just low traffic eg not many hits per day[/QUOTE] Mine gets 30GB through it on a good day :p But thats.. 7 people using it at once. |

| 665784 | 2008-05-04 11:38:00 | i know the speeds sux. i would use an external server elsewhere with decent speeds but im a tight ass and hence the home server will do until i move closer to an area with faster connection or can afford external server etc | williamF (115) | ||
