    Recomend me a server setup??

    I've came to the decision that i'm going to build my own server and get it colocated, the server will be used to host VPSs and Shared Hosting, My budget is around 5000, not including the cost of the colocation, and the size can be up to 4U

    It might be a good idea to first figure out what kind of CPU's, memory, disks and RAID setup you need.
    Based on that you can put together some configurations and compare.

    Based on your budget, first choose which do you want the branded one or the other type..?
    and just try to find the enough specification based on your needed.

    Just to be clear you can't or at least its not wise to host a VPS Node and shared host node on the same server. I would think it nearly impossible.

    So you will need to pick one or the other or get more than one server.

    Shared inside a vps, why not?

    Indeed. I am considering doing something 'stupid' and setting up 6 VM's on a machine via HVM - 2 MX, 2 web, 2 mysql.. then I can quickly scale them out to full machines as needed..

    My only concern there is the SPOF..

    Buy two 1U servers with 4 bays for hard disks for RAID10.

    Then there is the issue of backups, you may need a third server or hire an outside service.

    Try gopcn.com

    we build hardware from them. for $3k-4k, get a dual quad servers with 12-24gb ram 4 hdds on raid-10. Always consider the supermiro motherboard with -f so that IMPI will be useful to handle all management rather than visiting DC. Some DCs will help you build the server for a small fees.

    If the motherboard goes, I'm screwed on all my VM's. If there is a power surge of some kind, I risk losing my single raid card and lose all my VM's.. etc

    seems no one yet to give you a hard spec for a high-end VPS node.

    dual Intel Xeon Gulftown E5645 hex-core, dual 6x 2.4Ghz cores, 24x HT cores
    Supermicro X8DTI-F dual socket 1366 server board, 12x DDR3 DIMM slots
    48GB (6x 8GB triple channel) ECC Registered DDR3-1333, 6x open, 96GB Max
    8x Western Digital 1TB RE4 RAID Edition 7200rpm, 64M buffer
    Adaptec 5805 8-port hardware RAID-5/6/10 controller
    Adaptec ABM-800 BBU
    Supermicro SC825TQ-R720LPB 2U Rackmount Chassis, 2x 720w redundant PSU

    above spec should be right around $5K.

    if you run windows, then do consider Adaptec 6805 + AFM-600 4G NAND cache module. they're actually cheaper than 5805+BBU combo.

    Same performance? Not quite. Better priced? Yes.

    Chong,
    How much power would something like this use ?

    Also, wouldn't he be I/O restricted with such high cpu/ram configuration but only SATA drives (even though there are 8)

    it should peak around 2.5A/120v, 50% load prolly is around 1.6A/120v.

    8x SATA RAID-10 gives very decent IOPs already! can it be improved? sure! but for the same 4TB RAID-10 array volume, 12x 600GB 15K SAS can easily costs you another $3K, and 12x 600GB MLC SSD is another $5K~$6K. is that money well spent? only you the buyers can make that decision....

    Any idea how many vps this box could hold (io-wise)?
