    Even a system designed for 100% uptime on paper with redundancy at every layer is prone to issues due to human error, etc. Not to mention malicious attacks/DDoS that even the best protection...

    I'd almost consider selling them on eBay and getting non-Dell drives.

    I don't see a problem with doing this at all - although as stated above this isn't typically a financially sound thing to do.

    Yes a DNS cluster is the way to go to be future-proof. It doesn't make sense to have 100 different sets of nameservers for your clients...

    I would say that budget is too low, even for a really basic GeoDNS setup with no anycast.

    Anycast is tricky to do correctly anyway and probably out of the picture here unless you want to put a...

    I don't really know of a CDN that does that. It's somewhat of a waste of IP space especially when a lot of CDNs achieve SSL support via SNI these days anyway. If this is really something you want,...

    Absolutely. RAID0 will beat RAID5 in everything performance wise, but you have zero redundancy with RAID0 - you lose one drive, you lose the whole volume. In a way it triples the chance of...

    The terms alone I agree do not indicate that level of service you will get. This is why you should ask the provider what is covered and many good providers will even publish their definition of...

    Exactly. If you're dealing with a decent amount of traffic, a route optimization platform like Noction can actually end up saving you a lot of money by using cheaper transit in cases where it...

    Ah, yes, I don't know the specs of your home NAS - but that's probably why you saw poor performance.

    Honestly, with high-end CPUs (or even mid-range these days), I haven't been able to show a...

    The difference shouldn't be 10x - that seems a little dramatic IMO. Are you talking about single large file transfers, or lots of small files? Yes, there is overhead to encryption - but it shouldn't...

    3rd party services are really the best to handle this problem. For shared hosting, MailChannels is great - Mandrill can work well on a per client basis too.

    Indeed - west coast is where you want to be, LA is a good suggestion. Maybe check out WebNX - they have a pretty diverse network and optimized routing platform so it should hopefully find a good...

    You can hire someone from the offers section to create a custom theme for you/integrate with your website.

    Agreed, look at random r/w performance, not sequential. And find out the type of drives they're using, RAID-level, etc. Many drives will suffer performance degradation or complete failure after...

    Software looks good and I have heard great things from people who use it - security seems to be a concern though, this isn't the first time they've had major vulnerabilities.

    Might just want to look into cloud storage, rather than a full blown cloud server?

    This might even work for you - if it's just backing up your photos? https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/primephotos

    :agree: Good call. H730/H730P will work great. This will handle RAID-10 + SSDs nicely.

    DMDM, The Seagate 1200 SSD are insane. I actually agree with using multiple RAID-1 volumes in this case.

    They definitely need some experience working with hardware and general DC ops/networking - and some sysadmin knowledge is a bonus to help troubleshoot issues for customers remotely.

    You definitely want NTT, but the second carrier (if you're just starting out with those two) is a bit of a toss-up. I'd consider Telia over GTT though. PCCW I am not sure has a strong presence in...

    You may have luck with the suggestions there.

    I am not sure I would recommend running a Dell R630 with 10 SSDs, you will end up with Dell H3xx raid controller which will probably be your bottleneck.

    When you get into a really custom config, colo starts to make more sense. Although the config you describe doesn't seem too hard to find.

    Yes - exactly. Dedicated servers aren't going anywhere, but if you opt go that route, it makes sense to use virtualization anyhow. Even with the overhead of virtualization, if you have different...

    Depending on what you're paying monthly, it simply may not be worth the time required to mitigate this attack or help find a solution. Some providers will have basic or even advanced protection at...
