I'm moving our company site from a vps to a dedicated server, and am considering hosting at The Planet. RAM: 4096 MB RAM Intel Xeon 3060 Dual Core Conroe Processor OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux - x86_64, Version 5 5 IP Addresses 100 Mbps Uplink 2000 GB Bandwidth Drive Controller: SAS/SATA HDD: 146GB, 10K RPM SCSI/SAS Hard Drive Control Panel: cPanel/WHM with Fantastico I'm looking at the above package for $189/mo. Has anyone here had any experience with them? Any insight?
No a RAM card The best servers have a card in that holds 16-24Gb of RAM. When operating the server loads the OS and runs all input and output from this RAM disc rather than the HD's. Its means access and retrieve time for non stored data is almost instantaneous. You can even do it on a normal home PC. Add a card with 8-10 Gb RAM and make it so windows loads into that... along with I/O and the registry and other things. It makes your computer react instantly. Never done it myself, but a mate builds servers and always incorporates RAM cards
Oh, no. Never heard of that before now. I would assume only companies like Amazon have those. I mean, I don't even have one of those for our mission critical internal server.
I didn't realize anyone made RAM cards anymore. Come to think of it, I've only ever seen one, and it just runs DDR-400, and only up to 4GB of it.
Reviews Article Rather odd, mostly inane blog posting (check the comments) Promo news Reviews (note the bottom link in the right-hand column. I've seen this sort of thing before, where blatant bots/shills go around posting insipid or formulaic "reviews" for hosts. Watch out for them) Reviews There are probably others out there too, these are just the ones I found with a quick Google search.
