 | View Full Version : Where are your servers located ? greatbeast 09-24-2002, 02:38 PM I was curious where the majority of hosts keep their servers. In a home Built server room ? In a remote datacenter ? None needed due to being a reseller ? ninji 09-24-2002, 02:48 PM Ive got servers everywhere My home office has 4 server systems, 2 of them dual penti's. Ive got over 100 servers in various datacenters. My office has countless computers that would qualify as servers ;] pcnet21 09-24-2002, 04:15 PM Wow 100 servers? I guess you can start build your own data center. Theogc 09-25-2002, 07:21 AM I have 12 networked computers built for web and game server hosting in my home. I also have reseller accounts with various hosting companys that i have stressed to the bone, i only use the hosts i would back with a guarantee myself. kktsang 09-25-2002, 07:31 AM how can you arrange the bandwidth in home office ? how much is enough ?

Is it stable ? and if your home got shortage of electricity...then how to deal with ?? Ive never ran short of bandwidth and have had very few complaints about speed. We stay around 99+% uptime each month, this week we are running at 100% uptime, 0% slow downs and 0% errors, if you have aim or you can e-mail me ill be more then happy to send you a picture chart of the stats. Electricity never goes out, its gone out twice in the past 6 months for about 1 min. whatever 09-25-2002, 07:40 AM Get a backup power supply, i saw sever power generaters in a pc magazine called APC for about $198 (in Australian Dollars). Theogc 09-25-2002, 07:49 AM Yes i am working on it, they only last for about 15 min isnt that right? if there the ones im thinking about. Any questions or comments use the info below. kktsang 09-25-2002, 10:27 AM Originally posted by Theogc Ive never ran short of bandwidth and have had very few complaints about speed.

Theogc 09-25-2002, 10:35 AM We have a few web servers on a dsl conenction and rented servers on a duel oc3 connection. you could test ping two of the servers on the dsl line, 66.139.194.73 66.139.194.74 They ping pretty nice as from what i hear. freakysid 09-25-2002, 10:46 AM Originally posted by Theogc I have 12 networked computers built for web and game server hosting in my home. Hehe - that probably takes care of your heating needs as well! ;) Theogc 09-25-2002, 10:48 AM yes, and runs my air conditioner bill up, i leave the server room at 60 degrees. greatbeast 09-25-2002, 01:32 PM Originally posted by Theogc Yes i am working on it, they only last for about 15 min isnt that right? if there the ones im thinking about. Any questions or comments use the info below. Actually if you spend a bit more you can get up to 100 minutes of battery time off of generic UPS's (the ones at like Office Depot, or Staples or whatever...not the extremely expensive milti-thousand dollar ones) for around $120 a piece. I'm thinking a few of those (One for every server running) would keep things running....or maybe a 20 minute one and a smaller generator out back would make things good. Theogc 09-25-2002, 02:13 PM All i would need is somthing to hold for about 10 mins, power always coem on with in 5 min=) But like i said its only gone out about 2 times in 6 months. |
