Know monthly traffic and simultaneous traffic that will accept a server

Hi,
I need a dedicated server for hosting a single php-mysql site with heavy traffic.
My DC has these two options among others. Which should I choose?

SERVER1:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Hexa-Core "Matisse" (Zen2)
RAM: 64 GB DDR4
HDs: 2 x 512 GB NVMe SSD

SERVER2:
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1275V6
RAM: 64 GB DDR4 ECC
HDs: 2x 480 GB DC SSD

Cost is almost the same for both servers.

Hi i'm looking for a dedicated server recommendation.

Requirements:
Accept BTC/ETH as payment method.
Max price 75 euro/month
Operating system: Windows 10

I'm looking for a non-server CPU - maybe an intel i5 or i7 or i9

Or a server CPU is fine (Xeon)... as long as there's also a decent GPU in in the system.

Thanks!

Hello everyone. Have been a long time lurker, but never registered. So, firstly want to say big thank you to this wholesome community for always giving great advices to everyone out there. You guys rock!

I am trying to find an alternative to Hetzner's SX133 which is ridiculously great priced. How do they even do that? Well done Hetzner. On 24/03/2021 - SX133's specs a
Intel® Xeon® W-2145 8 cores, 16 threads,
128 GB DDR4 ECC,
2 x 960 GB NVMe SSD,
10 x 16 TB (SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 rpm) a whooping 160 TB of storage,
1 Gbit/s connection,
Unlimited traffic,
159.00 (without TAX) I need this for an image hosting website, where users do sometimes upload adult content. Sadly Hetzner TOS (point 6.2) does not allow that and they are entitled to block access to the account of any customer who violates this. Which is fine - it's their rules.


My budget is 180 EUR (without TAX), but I don't even need such fancy specs as Hetzner provides. I am completely okay to settle with something like:
4 core, 8 thread CPU,
32 GB DRR3 ECC,
2 or even 1 240 GB SATA SSD,
The most important factor is storage. The more the better, the minimum would be ~100 TB (SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 rpm)
1 Gbit/s connection,
Website last month traffic was 500 TB, but since 90% is cached by CDN...would still need about 50 TB. Obviously unlimited traffic would be great. Seems like very few hosting companies actually offer dedicated servers for storage purposes. I have already checked OVH, Leaseweb, OneProvider, Flaunt7 and some local country hostings, but it seems like noone is even close in comparison to what Hetzner offers. It's like their offer is from the future and hopefully in 1-2 years time, others will get there as well.

It be nice if server were located somewhere close to West/Middle of Russia.


P.S As another option, maybe I could rent more then one dedicated server so that their storage capacity would be ~100 TB and going with CEPH instead of RAID6, but still, can't exced 180 EUR budget. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

greets

Not sure if this is the right category.. I want to know what makes a server speedy. My issue is, I tried about 6 servers the last 6 months.

Reseller Hostmantis (5$ a month)
VPS cloudcone 10 core 16 GB ram (50$) a month + cpanel (15$) + litespeed (30$) a month
VPS from a dutch guy, 8 core, 16GB ram, directadmin (70 a month)
Cloudcone VPS: 10 cores, 60GB ram, Cpanel + litespeed = like 70 a month).
Wpprovider (claims to have to fastest dutch hosting): 25,- a month.
Neostrada magento hosting (6 core, 8GB ram, cpanel = 20,- a month)

Believe it or not, but the freaking 5$ per month SHARED (!!!!) RESELLER (!!!!!) is the fastest of them all. And I really don't understand how that is possible. Is there anybody who can explain to me what makes a server fast? First I thought it was litespeed, so i bought a litespeed license for by VPS'ses. Then I thought it was the lack of RAM, so i went to Contabo with 60 freaking GB of ram WITH litespeed. And even that is slower if I 1:1 compare it with a 100% duplicated site on that Hostmantis reseller package...

Then a guy from Asia who tried to improve the pagespeed for a webshop copied the site to his dedicated server and the results were INSANELY fast. I asked him his config and he said:

2 X Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650
32 Cores
64 GB ram
2 X SSD Drive

He said he didn't had Litespeed, only Memcache installed.

Is there anybody who can tell me what makes a server fast? Is it the RAM? the CPU? The managing? The location? The LITEspeed/Memcached/Redis? And when does it make sense to get a Dedicated server instead of a VPS?

About me: As side job I build websites. Most of them very easy, 3 page wordpress sites with no visitors. I host about 60. They don't really care about speed, cause they are happy if there are There are some bigger clients (3 with a woocommerce webshop, 1 with a magento webshop) for which speed IS important.

What I would like is
THE FASTEST Server possible for my amount
At least 500GB SSD storage
Managed
Backups remotely (and something like JEtbackup)
Softacalous
Cpanel + WHM (100 accounts)
Budget: Under like 180$ for all (if that is anyway possible).

I have been hosting my sites on my current hosting company for 7 years. TBH, I am happy with them most of the time.

Since they were sold to another company, the tech support is getting worse. Each time it takes a long time for them to figure out what's going on. They always said the problem is on my side. But it turns out all the issues I complained locate on the server side. I had enough with those offshore tech support.

The second thing is: on my current plan, the server blocked a lot of proxy/Tor access, maybe for anti-spamming or whatever. And host-tacker shows some "HostNotFound" results, which I have not seen it from my friend's sites (we both run the same type of sites). So I lost some traffic as well.

That's why I am thinking to move my sites out.

My site is not big. Currently, I have 2500-3000 unique visits/day, and bandwidth/m is about 700 GB. I am thinking to try a dedicated server plan this time. Then I will have the faster page loading speed, which means better SEO, I guess? Hopefully I can get more traffic and more visits. And I won't get bothered by bad neighbors any more.

I checked a few dedicated plans, can you tell me what these mean? esp WAN uplink and LAN Uplink? Should it be included in total bandwidth?

1,000 Megabit WAN Uplink
1,000 Megabit LAN Uplink
25,000 GB Included Transfer

I read some articles about Dedicated IP vs Shared IP. It seems Dedicated IP is better than Shared IP. But for a small site like mine, do I really need a dedicated server?

I am thinking of mojohost as some friends recommend them. Do they have a coupon or I can negotiate with them for a discount?

Any advises are appreciated.

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.

Hello,
i was having a server with hetzner for over 10 years on December i decided to move my server to OVH ( i heard it have better servers and network ). so i registered on their website ordered a server moved my 100+ website to the new server and all was fine. 2 days a go they asked me to send them documents that prove my identity and i did that with even photo of me holding my identity card etc. yesterday i received 3 emails saying that they wont accept me as a customer and they closed my account and suspended my server all that without giving me the option to take off my data my life worth of data 100 DOMAINS. i emailed them and they do not answer.
i did nothing wrong like hack or spam my documents where valid and real. i don't care if they don't want me any more as a customer but i need my files :'(
