How much RAM for a server? - GoFuckYourself.com

TiaLing · 10-30-2007, 12:20 AM

How much RAM is enough for a server with 2 paysites and 2 simple affiliate sites with FHG's. Is 512 mb too low? What should you have for pages to be able to load quickly? tia

Snake Doctor · 10-30-2007, 12:22 AM

58490237598042759042795 microbytes should be adequate

baddog · 10-30-2007, 12:23 AM

yes 512 is too little. If you are hosting galleries and expecting a good amount of traffic I would suggest a minimum of 2 GB.

You might need Dual Xeon's with 4 GB RAM if you have a lot going on.

TiaLing · 10-30-2007, 12:31 AM

Wow.....you're a funny guy snake!

Thank you baddog.....I appreciate the info!

TidalWave · 10-30-2007, 12:54 AM

yup, minimum 1gb but i would definitely recommend at least 2gb from what youve posted and possibly some faster than normal drives. such as sata raptors or SAS (the latest technology replacing SCSI)

The Sultan Of Smut · 10-30-2007, 01:02 AM

What they said 2GB should be your MINIMUM but for a program with lots of FHGs and only a moderate amount of database use I'd suggest 4GB. A dual core/processor server is never a bad thing but by far the most important factor is the RAM.

With the additional RAM you have more flexibility to greatly increase the amount of Apache child processes that can spawn.

peterk · 10-30-2007, 01:31 AM

at least 1G of RAM memory is required for what ya need

cem · 10-30-2007, 02:46 AM

Depends how much traffic you'll get. Start with 1GB and update when necessary.

Vick! · 10-30-2007, 02:57 AM

Paysite should load fast enough for viewers, and I recommend having at least 2GB to start with, and of course upgrade when required.

We just got a quad core 8 GB of RAM and Microsoft Windows Server Enterprise Edition. That will handle anything and everything you got throwing at it for a while till your traffic builds up to the level you need another server and when you need another server because the traffic is over powering the server that means you be making big time coin.
Not cheap stuff but it will last quite a long time.

I have 2GB on a server with 20+ blogs and a few TGPs... runs great.

martinsc · 10-30-2007, 06:45 AM

like said before 2gb should be ok, but i would go for 4 just to be safe

tranza · 10-30-2007, 07:05 AM

You should get at least 1Gb.

Brad Mitchell · 10-30-2007, 07:24 AM

2GB should be fine and when it eventually bottlenecks plan on an upgrade to 4GB. The question nobody here has asked that they should have is what processor comes with this server? I would recommend that you at least go with a Dual Core Pentium, if not a Core2. A Dual or Quad Xeon would be "nice" but at this juncture in your business is probably not necessary.

Brad

directfiesta · 10-30-2007, 07:49 AM

Minimum a Core2 Duo, and more important 2 gigs of DDR2 ram ( and as suggested upgrade to 4 gigs when required ).

The FHG are the ' problem ' , since when they get listed, a ton of hits comes all at the same time , then to dissapear with 8 - 10 hours ....
So the load is big for peeks.

is that any good???

I just need something decent for 5 pure html sites and one eventually high traffic php/mysql "plentyoffish type" site.

any help appreciated.

dspkable · 10-30-2007, 08:43 AM

Not sure how big your site is, but you could be wasting money on too much processing power or RAM if you don't need it yet. I've seen P4 2.4GHz with 1 GB of RAM do the trick for many people. It technically depends on how much RAM is needed to cache the entire website and keep it ready for delivery for any web requests. While the website is left in memory, it can be more quickly delivered to visitors so the hard drive doesn't have to be accessed for delivery of the content.

Twoface31 · 10-30-2007, 08:44 AM

i COuld suggest you need a 2GB RAM to it efficiently!!!!!

pornguy · 10-30-2007, 08:47 AM

Kind of funny reading this.

remember just a few years ago. How much 512 was???

That was an amazing amount from the 128

That type of platform is probably a good choice for all your html sites and beta testing or light load on your other site but you need to anticipate making a switch to dedicated when your php/mysql site starts to get busy.

I have 1 RAM and p4 3.0 ...but I have small traffic , mainly seo and tgp cj...
my fhg on other unmetred server with 2048 and dual xenon ....

anyway recommend this company ...best network and best price

yahoo-xxx-girls.com · 10-30-2007, 08:56 AM

If you are hosting your own websites then I would have to say 1GB, but if you are sharing with others then 2GB minimum. Ram is so cheap now that there is no reason why you could not max out your motherboards... if you are hosting your one website(s)...

Later,

woj · 10-30-2007, 10:14 AM

Ram is dirt cheap now a days, I wouldn't' settle for anything less than 1 GB...

rowan · 10-30-2007, 10:31 AM

Try to negotiate once-off fees for upgrades such as RAM or hard drives, it's ridiculous that some hosts want to charge $30/mo for a drive that has a capital cost of $60. Same goes for RAM, even though it can fail it is NOT what I'd consider a consumable item!
