I can't... I can't go into the details why, but lets just say that requests are not going thru DNS. I checked with a few sysadmins at 10tb, enabling/disabling the server is the only real option I can do.

100 mbps packages might be best to start with, and I really do have to keep the price down on this. Yet I will need help in transferring my current data from my domains and well as set-up.

Please fill free to list your pricing, and I will get back to you soon.

I'd love to talk to you further regarding your needs.

I honestly do not understand the folks that absolutely limit bandwidth on a given server - it's a cost savings on my end to have you use 300Mbit on a single machine, rather than 100Mbit on 3 separate machines.

Let me know what I have to do to win your business

Hi Phil, whats the best price you can offer on a 300MB pipe? dual core 2 gig ram would do. Just for a video streaming, dont need any raid or super CPU power.

Is it me, or I dont seem to get email notifications from threads on this site? It says Im subscribed but I dont get anything.

danayster,

If you don't mind, I'd love to talk to you regarding a competitive solution for what you described in your earlier posts. We have some customers pushing 1800Mbit on single machines, so we're well versed in getting the most from a single box.

I'm perfectly happy giving out some free trials if you like as well, so you can see what we offer first hand. Luckily, static content is very easy to move around - so taking advantage of the latest deal is usually not that huge of a headache if you're with a quality host.

Decent thread either way though

Quality affordable hosting.

You'd be looking at roughly $1350/mo - depending a bit on final server configuration you desire (drive setup mostly). Within $100-150 of that price nearly no matter what though.

Do you have any suggestions/solutions to cutting back CPU use from Java? I'm loaded up on Dual Quadcore's with 4 gig RAM. RAM use is about 2.5 - 3.0 gig, but CPU is always 100% and its limiting my ability to increase bandwidth usage. Single core CPU, I can push 15-20 megabit, Dual core, I can push maybe 50 megabit, Dual Quadcore I can hit 70 megabit per server. I'd like to get that up towards 100 megabit as the hardware cost is killing my ROI when I need to spread it over multiple boxes. I've been using Windows as believe it or not, Windows has a better CPU management for java than linux so I'm also getting killed in license fees to microsoft.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
WG

This is probably better suited towards private communication as I'm sure there are some details of your setup you won't want public. I can be reached via [email protected], or if you prefer AIM/ICQ philtwoone/25285313.

I am mostly curious as to why you're utilizing Java for static content. Are you doing live streaming? Or something else?

Java, in my opinion, is freaking horrible. I cringe whenever we have to support something running it :/

Thanks!

Well, Im currently using the stock Linux for my web server but I switched to lighttpd for the video streaming servers. I personally wouldn't trust windows for anything web server based. The OS alone most likely adds over head.

Which tube script are you using? Im using Agriya Rayzz but My site was killing me with server load until I had an expert MYSQL coder debug all the slow queries in that script. Server couldn't even handle 15k uniques back then, after the fixes Im at 80k and server still has its chest popping out like a football player thats ready to take on a massive truck. As we speak server load is at 18 and pages still load quick, and server has no lag lol I love it.

Do you get emails when this thread is responded to? I dont get nada

Charles as I am not in the biz of selling cheap 4.00 bandwidth I am however in the biz of knowing how to setup, run, program and administer High Quality Hosting and have earned the reputation of such. OK from the small amount of information you have posted here I can say (with confidence) your setup is all wrong. Take a good look at what my buddy Phill21 wrote and Listen to him. Phill is one of the best admins around and knows what he is doing. From what he wrote here he is on the right path. I suggest contacting him and keep an open mind to what he says...

Good Luck

We add movies since a couple of days and just added another 750gb as well as an extra server for the load balance.
250gb wont last longer then a week on my end.
Hit me on icq and ill shoot you some details

I just wanted to say thank you, to all that contributed to this tread. I have found it very informative, and I am a bit humbled hearing about the T packages too

I will of course be in contact with many of you soon, and do look forward to taking with you more.

Hey guys - if you can shoot me an email at [email protected] - i would be happy to get each of you an individual quote.

Charles - also, we would certainly be happy to do a call with our Sales Engineers and go over our recommendation for what you're trying to do. Bandwidth is cheap - it's a matter of making sure you have the right setup from the beginning. Also - we can talk about how CDN might fit into the equation as well - to offload alot of work from the server to the CDN.

We have a few specials running this month if anyone is interested in discussing them.

A sample would be,

Quad Core Intel Xeon
4GB Ram
500Gb Sata
100Mbit Bw
$599/Month

If you need assistance with your setup to spread/decrease your loads our techs can assist and show you pointers to do this. Once you are big enough you will of course want to invest in a more robust drive setup.
