how would i know how much mhz/ram my site needs?

Here are some things that would help..


How many sites are you going to host? How populare are they?
Does your site(s) use a lot of scripts (Perl/CGI, PHP, etc)?
Are your site(s) database driven?


When you have information like that, it will be a lot easier to find out what features your dedicated server needs to have.

Well I assume you mean for your starcraft website. depends on what your hits/bandwidth are but a single site like that anything will do... ;)

in general when getting a server you should get atleast:
500mhz
128mb ram
etc
etc

are those specs you posted for a server with more than one site? will 300mhz and 32mb ram be ok for one site?

I don't know of any place that would sell a server with specs like that. No one builds machines like that anymore. It would probably cost more to get parts like those than a 600mhz machine w/ 128MB RAM.

Ahem, have you heard of the RAQ3? :)

ahem have you ever used a raq 3 :) point proven :)

Thanks cbaker :stickout

I don't know about a RaQ3 -- I was talking about building a server like that using normal hardware.

so would that be ok for just one site?

Hi,

Yes, I would probably be okay, but I guess what others tried to tell you is that the number of sites, may be 1 or 100 doesn't matter much. If you are hosting 1 site but it is called ebay.com, no it won't be enough. If you are hosting 100 small home pages, it will be okay.

See what I mean?


Thank you,
