Dual Xeon Silver 4214 CPU's enough for 6 Virtual Machines?

Hey, I've been using Dual Dual Xeon Silver 4214's for my dedicated server and paying about $270 a month but the power isn't there for me.
It's base clockspeed is only 2.2GHz and 3.2GHz turbo.

I've decided to use another company and now pay $400 a month for a AMD Threadripper 3960X which has 24 cores (same as Dual Silvers 4142) but a much higher clockspeed.
The rest of the specs are about the same for both companies.

Would you say it's a good choice and how much better performance can I expect (if any lol, sorry for being a nub)?

I'm investing in the system to run the automated tool in the browser, I'm wondering the following problems, hope you can help me.
The servers I'll be running Promox on create multiple Windows 2012 VMs.

Should I buy XEON E* series servers or Xeon Sliver, Xeon Gold, Or AMD Ryzen.. ? I am targeting server rental units like Hetzner, Workldstream.

The purpose of each Promox server is to create many VMs, so when buying a server I need to pay attention to core theard ?

The intel and AMD lines have different number of cores and theards which confuses me
Each VM I will create is 1 socket, 2 cores, 5G ram.

Should I buy low CPU lines to have more cores instead of buying a powerful server with only a few dozen cores for example?
Looking forward to just replying. So that I can optimize costs and improve performance.


Here is the %CPU image I will be running, currently I am on a Hetzner server. Please advise, With the tool % cpu and ram I am running like this, which server should I invest in to be able to create the most VMs to optimize costs.

Thank you

I am planning to upgrade my current, very old server (Dual E5-2430 Xeons, 12 cores/24 HT with SATA SSDs) which has been doing duty as a shared hosting server for around 400 websites. Have noticed slow website loading times. 95% sites are using PHP/MySQL(Wordpress).

From the time I got the server and now, so many new CPUs have come out and looks like the xeon e3/e5 lines have been discontinued. Dual scalable silver/gold xeon servers are out of my budget, so the only alternative is a E-2288G or a W-1290P (more interested in this one) xeon with NVMe drives. Passmark scores for these servers are much higher than my current one, but moving to these new servers will mean a downgrade in the number of cores.

Looking for some personal experiences with these E-2288G/W-1290P CPUs, so that I am not actually getting a downgrade by changing servers.

I don't need more than 64GB of RAM and a 2x2TB NVMe SSD is fine.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a new server for my web hosting company and really interested in Vultr HF 12cores CPU vs Vultr Bare Metal 8cores/16 threads @3.7GHZ.

I have always used their VPS and have been happy with it so far, from RAM/ storage + internet speed pov, it seems Vultr Bare metal provides better value compared to their HF lineup.

Would 8 cores dedicated CPU outperformance a 12 cores vcpu? for web hosting? Assuming both hosting the same amount/ type of wordpress site?

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks everyone.

Hi there everyone,

I currently have a VPS that is hosting approximately 50 cPanel accounts (WordPress sites), and I want to upgrade to a dedicated to host more accounts/WordPress sites.

My question is, what should I focus on: Higher clock speed, or lower clock speed but more cores?

Specifically:

1. Intel Xeon E3-1240 V6 (3.70GHz 8MB Cache) w 32GB DDR4 RAM [4 cores]
or
2. 2x Intel Xeon E5-2640 (2.50GHz 15MB Cache) w 32GB DDR3 RAM [2x8 = 16 cores]

I can't figure it out. The more I Google it, the more confused I get.

Or should I just get a second VPS? The stats for my current VPS is 6 cores @ 2.60 gHz.

Thanks in advance!

PS. Some of the WordPress sites have minimal traffic if any at all, and some have 5k unique visitors per day. Cloudflare and caching is being used on all of them.

Hey everyone, I need help choosing a dedicated server from psychz.net

My needs:
I want to have 4-8 VM's running simultaneously (the amount depends on how strong each VM is)-
If 4 VM's, each VM will have 4 game clients running. If 8 VM's, each will have 2 game clients running.

For reference, in my computer I have i5-6600 and by running 3 game clients, each one takes around 30% CPU and 800 MB Ram
(also, I am able to run 2 game clients on a Azure VM (4 cores, 8 GB Ram) "Standard F4s_v2")

Budget: $200-$300 a month.

What do you recommend in terms of specs, and how should I split them for each VMs.
What about operating system? Perhaps VMWare ESXI or Windows Datacenter?

ANY HELP APPRICIATED!

Hi all,

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum; had trouble deciding whether to put it here or in the VPS forum.

I am running to some trouble with trying to properly expose a particular CPU topology to a VPS on a CentOS 8 server running KVM and Virtualizor, and was hoping you might be able to help. Not sure if I am doing something wrong and/or not understanding something.

I have an AMD Ryzen 5600X dedicated server with 6 cores and 12 threads. I created a VPS to which I am trying to assign 8 VCPUs (4 cores with 2 threads per core for a total of 8 threads). In Virtualizor, I set CPU units to 1000, CPU cores to 8, and CPU percent to 800. I then select the CPU topology option and specify 1 for sockets, 4 for cores and 2 for threads. CPU mode is host-passthrough. However, when using the lscpu command within the VPS or when checking /proc/cpuinfo, the topology shows up as 1 socket, 8 cores and only 1 thread per core. Does anyone know why this is? Would this affect performance within the VPS at all (that is, are applications not able to take advantage of hyperthreading, or does it even matter that the topology shows up this way)? The topology shows up as expected on an Intel E-2136 server that I tested on, so not sure what the difference is here.

Thanks for any tips you can provide!

Looking for 32 cores / 64 threads (or more), 256GB ECC RAM, two 2TB NVMe SSDs. I'll handle all server administration. Access via KVM over IP (or similar) would be great. Not looking for the cheapest. I'd rather pay for better support as there might be times where I need a little helping hand. I'll also need a block of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and this will be hosting virtual machines.

I am in need of a dedicated server for my business which will be running a white-label version of Mailwizz.

The amount of clients is approx 25 and growing daily.

These clients run various websites, blogs, membership clubs, create courses etc etc..

They have email lists that range anywhere between 5k to 500k subscribers.

The server I need WILL NOT be in charge of sending email to these lists. It's main purpose is housing the self-hosted email marketing application Mailwizz.

I am looking for a quality host that can handle the following requirements to run Mailwizz:
- Linux operating system
- Apache/Nginx webserver
- PHP >= 5.2
- MySQL/MariaDB, with InnoDB storage engine
- Cron Jobs access (linux crons not web crons please)


My budget is around $150-200/mo for a single dedicated CPU. I can allocate more of a budget if you think dual cpu is necessary.

I have these in mind:

I am even considering a Ryzen setup from either ProlimeHost or Hivelocity which has servers using EPYC. Although I am not sure if it's wise to go with consumer-grade hardware for this setup?

This is the one from ProlimeHost:
AMD Ryzen 3700x

480G SSD or 2TB HDD
40 TB
$119/m



DatabaseByDesignLLC also has a special going on for a dual cpu server with 96gb ram although they are using an older X5560 cpu.

Not sure if that's too outdated though...

96GB + SSD Dedicated Server
