    Need Help for dedicated server

    Posted 17 years 2 months ago
    • Hi Rteers!

      I need help to take a decision in one or two month.

      I actually manage a website with video streaming. All videos are hosted in my shared account at hostgator (large disk space and unlimited BW for just $14/month).
      I need 250Gb of disk space and actually more or less 3 Tb of BW! However, I think the website will grow quickly and I was thinking to purchase a dedicated server to provide a better streaming service.

      I contacted ThePlanet and they have a package that seems to suit my actual needs:

      Single Processor Quad Core Kentsfield 3210
      + 2GB RAM
      + 1x 250GB SATA Drive
      OR + Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition
      OR + RedHat Enterprise 4 Linux
      + 10 IP Addresses
      + 3250GB Monthly Transfer
      + 100mbps Uplink
      $25 Setup / $409 Per Month

      However, I don't have knowledge about hardware and performance, especially for VOD.
      If someone can give me some advice... thanks in advance!

    • You should look into Amazon S3 for serving up your Videos - Will save you a huge headache if your traffic and space needs continue to grow. Not to mention a whole heap of cash.

    • Hi David! Thx to reply.

      When I do the math for amazon S3 I think it's not very good if compare to a dedicated server.

      Europe

      Storage
      $0.18 per GB-Month of storage used

      Data Transfer
      $0.10 per GB - all data transfer in

      In my case: ($0.18 x 250) + ($0.10 x 3000) = $345/month
      And the videos will be hosted in a distant server with less performance for streaming I think ::)
