This may sound dumb but what would be a good server spec that would run Debian 4.0 Etch or Ubuntu Server 8.04 really fast; *With all the good stuff ISPConfig offers. *And say a hundred+ sites hosted. All on 1 super server. I was just curious - see how much it would cost as looking to save up
I'd use the DS7000 or DS8000 from Hetzner: http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produktmatrix/en-rootserver-produktmatrix/
Ok, I am running a server at the moment that is my main server Specs: 384MBRam 1x 320GB IDE HDD 1.8 GHz Celeron processor 10/100 NIC I was woundering what phisical specs required i would need to build my own server. That i can run at home as i have very high speed connections.
Server spec? Server usually means Xeon processors using socket 602 (check out the new Intel Xeon 7400 series $856 -$2600) * X7460 - 2.66GHz - 6-core - 130W TDP - 16MB L3 * E7450 - 2.40GHz - 6-core - 90W TDP - 12MB L3 * E7440 - 2.40GHz - 4-core - 90W TDP - 16MB L3 * E7430 - 2.13GHz - 4-core - 90W TDP - 12MB L3 * E7420 - 2.13GHz - 4-core - 90W TDP - 8MB L3 * E7455 - 2.13GHz - 6-core - 65W TDP - 12MB L3 * E7445 - 2.13GHz - 4-core - 50W TDP - 12MB L3 but you probably mean a socket T (LGA775) desktop mobo... I like the shuttle barebones...I run a openfiler iSCSI server on one and and an ESXi VM server (and 10 VMs) on another. The E5200 $89 processor is the cheapest one that supports 64bit VMs. Shuttle K45 ($99) + E5200 ($89) + 1 1TB seagate SATA ($135) + 2GB DDR2 RAM ($32). integrated video and GigE = $355 Low power and low noise. Note the K48 has no slots. Extra $100 gets the Shuttle that has 2 slots 1 PCI 1PCIe and holds 4GB RAM and has the fancy "ICE Genie" cooler... (not affiliated with Shuttle I just live in a small space)
ok, thanks for that i will have a look and parts of that spec and see what it would cost as im not really interested in having a dedicated server. I was thing of having a lot of 500GB SATA drives in RAID 5 with a dediated RAID Controller. But i might need a fancy server motherboad for that.
