Got a Vps Server Today!

[Mark]

I spent all day on my new vps server and figuring out everything.

DNS name server, and ip numbers and ftp user names and passwords,,and all the crap you have to do before you even put something on it.

Then I had to set up a database on a sql database.

Then config it to point to the database.

I'm paying $50 a month to have my own small server to help push the websites.


I felt really dumb today. But my Friend Adam, helped me a lot.


I dont know how you web people do it.

Figure out what hosting plan you will need and the programing stuff on sql databases.

Well, I'm very unhappy with Godaddy shared hosting. IT makes some of my sql database programs go really slow during the day.


If you have lots of traffic and memory hungry programs, you need to upgrade your hosting.

SQL databases drive all the good programs and you need the extra speed.

Once we get this project off the ground, you have two free IP addresses that are just waiting to be used.

Can you say RFS and the files??

Are you running a high-hit (volume) site? I can't imagine too many agents needing a VPS.

I would have first moved to a 'real' hosting company... like PairNetworks or Dreamhost or one of 100 others and tried that before spending the money for a VPS. That said, the VPS is not all THAT much more than a shared host.

Most domain registrars (GoDaddy, Network Solutions, Register.com) are very poor data center mangers and are not on anyone's short list of places to host with. There are some data centers that run a registry "on the side" and that is fine... they are a server-farm first and a registrar second.

What company is hosting your new VPS?

What content manager are you going to use for it? Joom? Drup? WordPress?

ServInt - Managed VPS Hosting - Managed Dedicated Servers - Enterprise Web Hosting

I'm paying for the $50 a month plan.


I'm working on some big projects.

I may also move all of my other websites over to it.

I'm still figuring all of this stuff out.

I'm paying godaddy.com like 7 a month for a shared hosting plan.

I've had so many issues with shared normal hosting that I'm tired of.

Just kidding here. I was very surprised to see mention of the Xrumer software on an insurance forum. My copy is collecting dust and haven't used it for a couple of years...

I'm not familiar with ServInt but it looks like a pretty good company and their pricing is right in line for what they offer. You can get a bit cheaper out there, but cheap is hardly ever "good" in this biz.

Curious how you found them. I'm always interested to learn how people make the decision as to where to put their websites.

The system they use is CentOS which is the open-source version of Red Hat Enterprise. It would not be my first choice for a server OS but it would be in my top 8. CentOS was really designed as a desktop OS and is not as well suited for servers as are other flavors of Linux or Unix, in my (very subjective) opinion. Why? It is not built (optimized) for speed and that's what you want on a server. It will work OK as a VPS where there are not that many users on the hardware but probably not so well as a shared server if they overload it with users... or one heavy-hitter (porn) site.

My list:

1. FreeBSD
2. Debian
3. Slackware
4. Arch
5. Ubuntu
6. CentOS
7. SUSE
8. Fedora

This is not carved in stone. Ask 10 geeks on their rankings and you will get 11 answers!!! It was never more true that YMMV.

What I didn't see in the specs was whether you were getting your own SQL database server or if you would be using a shared one with others on the shared VPS server... or perhaps one running on a dedicated machine somewhere.

Adam uses them for his quoting engine and it has been able to keep up with tons of agents using it.

All I know is vps is a lot better than godaddy shared hosting.
