    Ideal Server Config for MechBunny Growing Site

    Well I have 300k uv's a day and 150k videos. I've heard some different opinions and have done some research I guess I need a custom config server. If you have info that could help me customize Mechbunny please post. Please dont spam stock servers or hosting companies. Thanks You! This will be a cpanel based server and have security and backups.

    1. Hit up k0nr4d for the recommended config for your site.

    2. Ditch cpanel and get managed hosting from people that are very familiar with mechbunny setups.

    3. Mojohost, YellowFiber, Swiftwill, Isprime.

          ditch cpanel if you go managed, 10TB bandwidth isn't much either but hard to say if it's enough without knowing the size etc of your videos

              get a proper hosting company who does your server management.
              why would you need cpanel if you have 1 site? to create a mailbox every now and then? Just open a ticket and your host can take care of it.
              Running cpanel with all the features it comes with will cost you performance
              In general somebody managing the box who know what he/she is doing and can optimize and tune your setup will gain more than what you might think.
              Think of it this way; if you have a car but a person who doesn't know to change gears you will never get the full performance out of the car

                If you're running Cpanel doesn't that mean you're also running Apache ?

                  most likely yes although you could setup nginx/lighttpd additionally.
                  Obviously without any control panel you can set it up any way that fits best into your needs and is often recommend and the way to go

                      Optimal performance depends as much on your software as hardware.

                      What web server are you running ?

                            Apache I think is the only option b/c I need cpanel because I have a bunch of other sites I still have to host on my main server (I know it is what it is with 2 servers too $$$). So that's what I need cpanel for. What I need to know is the best configuration possible for the server such as raid type, etc

                              Why not put all your other sites on their own server and dedicate a machine to your tube ?

                              Also, why not ask Konrad these questions ? He is surely the most qualified and he gives good support by all accounts.

                                    cPanel is a resource hog, and with enough optimisations Apache is excellent, I suggest Nginx though.

                                        You can install Nginx on a CPanel server, there are some free and paid plugins to do this.

                                        10TB transfer is probably going to limit you, you're better off buying by pipe size and not amount of transfer.

                                        I wouldn't be running non essential sites on your tube server, best to separate them.

                                        The best thing for you to do is first consider the software you are running and then tailor the hardware to match it.

                                            What I would do is have a single server setup for your tube (and other sites one another server) No cPanel, and using Nginx... Like AK said, have a pipe size and not an amount of transfer, and once you start getting close to maxing out your Mbps I'd put in some upstreams and load balancing on Nginx to pass off to a second server, and also use the second server as your media server via the upstream, that way while you're growing in the first server, yourtube.com/video/files/go/here.mp4 will load, but after you expand to the second server, you can move the video files over, and upstream the /video/ folder to the second server via Nginx and the videos will still load, just as if they existed on the current server, except they don't and are taking some of the load off.

                                            Hope this helps.

                                                        Contact the hosting and tell them what you need..
                                                        I'll recommend NatNet, MojoHost and Isprime. They are managed and no need cpanel.. just message them what you need and they'll do it.

Why don't you try to save just a little bit of dignity after your Chill Vault fiasco. Sure, blame it on Adult SEO Labs, but it's all the same people. You can sell your sig without being a useless whore. Just sayin.

                                                                      Full Management

                                                                                  This setup should be good for almost unlimited number of users

ISPConfig actually also supports MyDNS which has a smaller memory footprint than BIND. Virtualmin is probably a more stable solution though (my opinion based on my experience). Although if you're running MechBunny you obviously should not be short on RAM. cPanel is mostly a resource hog on smaller systems and because it only runs on CentOS, which is an even bigger resource hog, but (arguably) more stable and secure than smaller alternatives like Debian.

I imagine they could be a nightmare to scale depending on how operations were. 300K of basically static pages would be rather simplistic. But I imagine 300,000 30m+ videos would be another story.

                                                                                      Best of luck scaling it out!

Try a google search, many people are doing this and I think this would work best for what you are trying to accomplish. It's actually quite easy and works very well.

                                                                                                Server 1

                                                                                                - can even use cPanel for easier management
                                                                                                - apache (+ varnish) would do just fine
                                                                                                - maybe a cdn to serve static files (like .js .css and desing elements .jpg .png .gif)

                                                                                                Server 2
                                                                                                - would host all videos (and thumbs)
                                                                                                - no control panel
                                                                                                - would use ngix instead of apache
                                                                                                Make a bank with Chaturbate - the best selling webcam program

                                                                                                  1 Server for script + mysql (24 GB RAM, SSH Hard drive, Latest Xeon)
                                                                                                  1 or more servers working in load balancing to host videos

                                                                                                  This setup should be good for almost unlimited number of users
                                                                                                  Yea, Use an SSH Harddrive and a Telnet video card for best video quality.
