Hey guys,
Im looking at getting a new server for my company. We have gotten to the point where it would be cheaper to have our own servers rather than getting shared hosting from other companies.
The reason why we are there is because its not our main focus we do more of the development of websites. But it turns out most of our clients want hosting from us so... thats where the server comes in.
So all in all i started looking at servers from dell, super micro and a few other companies ive heard of. There are just too many choices as far as parts go and i dont know my reasearch on server hardware like i do for desktop hardware...
I know i need a good cpu as well as a nice amount of ram. As well as some hd space.
So heres kinda what ive been looking at as far as specs...
CPU: I have no idea here id say some xeon dual or quad core or 2x of the dual core or something
RAM: 8+ Gbs
HD: 500GB +
we are looking at either a 1u or a 2u server with decent power consumption.
This is for a web sever for hosting websites and such.
What would be a limit of websites per server that sort of stuff we only offer the top rated service so we dont want the load times to slow down for a user since another user is using the sever.
If there are more questions i should be asking let me know and ill try and answer the question to my ability... But this is all i could think of for a server... was space cpu and ram...
Heres what ive speced out so far from AVA Direct
cost is $2549.12
