    Question for Server Gurus

    You think this server would be strong enough to host a dozen low traffic WP blogs?...

    no, boost the RAM...

    wp is a hog if running a lot of plugins...

    i run 2xquad core
    32 gig ram
    ssid array

    i pay 650 per month per box fully managed

    i can run hundreds of blogs per box and the speed rocks..

          Haha, that's more than enough. Use a caching plugin and make sure your Apache and MySQL are configured properly and you'll be fine.

              That's weird. I actually called and asked them directly about "adult content and links" and their answer was specifically...

              Nudity is fine, but if you show or link to anything with penetration, that an adult warning page would be required.

              I would have to double check again, before I commit of course, but thanks for the heads-up.

                        Sure you can...
                        just use properly your RAM and use the kernel to clean up unused cache memory.
                        2GB can handle with a dozen low traffic WP...

                        thats my tip.

                        Drop Caches
                        Kernels 2.6.16 and newer provide a mechanism to have the kernel drop the page cache and/or inode and dentry caches on command, which can help free up a lot of memory. Now you can throw away that script that allocated a ton of memory just to get rid of the cache...

                        To use /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, just echo a number to it.

                        To free pagecache:

                        # echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
                        To free dentries and inodes:

                        # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
                        To free pagecache, dentries and inodes:

                        echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
                        This is a non-destructive operation and will only free things that are completely unused. Dirty objects will continue to be in use until written out to disk and are not freeable. If you run "sync" first to flush them out to disk, these drop operations will tend to free more memory.

                              1and1 is however the crappiest option at that price level.
                              1and1 is like cheap plastic made in china dollar store junk - ok for disposable one time use, but there's no way in hell I'd run my businesses on it.

                                      I have a number of dedicated boxes already. I am just looking for an easy way to try out a few WP blogs, so I am looking for an inexpensive entry-level solution.

                                      After speaking with NameCheap.com, and asking about adult content, they suggested any of the VPS solutions that can be found here...
