Looking after one server is hard enough. But how many have you managed to take on?

We have 3... and, I watch them all.

Wondering why you didn't put 50+ or 100+ option
:-)

Just noticed in another forum there's a poll just like this. oops

Yep already a thread going like this one. We currenty have 1 server though :)

9!

4. Not bad for 1 week eh? :D

Don't own any myself, only rent :( But im looking into purchasing a couple very shortly.

You would need to look into additional staff.

well i think he meant renting too, same thing sorta :)

i dont own any i admin alot ..

decided i would buy one myself and well its not working out because hostmania doesnt know how to put together a server or email people or keep a domain registered ...

Last night while installing updates on our servers I realized something. It's a pain to update them when they are running different versions of RedHat and different configurations of software, e.g. one runs Ensim, and another runs custom software.

=P I don't think SplashHost seems to be kidding, he does reseller services and he's so popular, maybe he really has 85 servers =)

I was kidding, just showing that some people could be making them selves look bigger than really are ;)

Nearly believed it. I was thinking for about 5 minutes that how have you reached such a success :)

When I saw "85" the first thing that came to mind was why on earth Alan still hung around posting on WHT when instead he could be living on a private island somewhere... then it occured to me that he was kidding :stickout

heh, believe me nore 85 or 200 servers would allow you to live in a private island, we own 176 machines, today is holiday in our country and look what we are doing: working.

:-)

But what country do you own globe?

Ive actually got 11 servers.

2


:blush: Just got back from the data center. 1.



** Missing **

One black, 1U server. Has two PIIIs and 512 RAM. Last seen at colo in section 4, rack 1.2, port 23. Sorely missed. Likes 250 Watts of power and cool climates.

If anyone has seen this server please contact me.

Reward: 10 Kbps of Cogent BW.

We're first italian private network, talkin' about number of servers (if you exclude big telephone companies) I have to admit we have been lucky during last 18 months.

Globe,

I am sure you are successful :) with that recent law that forces Italian websites to be hosted inside Italy or at least by an italian webhost :)

I wish complete success for you :)

I think Brendan stole UBC's server. I saw one matching that description in it's entirity at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=464356

Wmac
wowie where did you take that new sounds pretty good.
Honestly there is not such a law, they stopped doing that way on 1944 (^_^)

I think about 65% of italian sites are hosted outside IT at bespoken companies as Vdi, Pwebtech, Dialtone, Colossus, Alabanza, etc...

Perhaps you are talking about dot-i domains? They must be Maintained by an itailan company cause it's not easy to become a Nic-It partner, but they can be hosted really everywhere.

But your idea is pretty nice to me, next national polling We'd like to ask for it.
:-)

Is that Tony Hawk the world-famous skateboarder?

No he's fully italian.
I am still wondering how did he got such Red Hat certification.
:D

Globe,

I am sure I have read a thread about that law in Italy last year here on WHT. Let me see ...


Oh I found it: (It was discussed on June 2001) It seems my memory works well :D

Italy -> laws like Cuba, China, Afghanistan (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13459&highlight=italian+and+government)

By the way, sorry about thread title (I do not agree with it in anyway) but it is original thread title.

Yes that was about a new law made to help on-line news web sites, or on-line editors.

They mean site has to be recorded in an official register just like a normal newspaper; it's not for ordinary web sites but only for sites who supply "recurring information" (weekly, daily news, ...)

That law is regulating information issues, you have to hire a journalist and an editor to publish those kind of sites. Somebody might agree, somebody not.

Fortunately nothing to do with the rest of web sites.

bye bye

I have this feeling Kiwi, that you'd be itching to be working if you took holidays. Just take the laptops with you and you can do both. :D

5...and if you are a GOOD host you watch them carefully so 5 is basicly all i can manage right now....

Well I have 2 .. hiring the 3rd this week end

Dont ask me why I need 3 servers for 60 clients. I put 5-7 resellers on a server :)
