dedicated server for chia plotting.

Warning to all dedicated hosts!

Huge amounts of our sales leads are now for Chia miners.

They use massive cpu (and therefore power) to plot very large hard drives.

They always want an SSD (this improves plotting speed). They will burn out your SSDs. Every 1gb of HDD space "plotted" will require 15gb of writes to your SSDs.

When Chia crashes, this "demand" will disappear, leaving you with burnt out SSDs, large hard drives you don't need, and large power commitments without a customer to pay for them.

If you entertain these sales at all, make sure to use SSD with high endurance (3 drive writes per day rated or higher). Make sure to charge a setup fee.

Right now, a storage server that might be worth $1000/mo can bring in $1000/day in Chia. This is making people go bonkers.

Be careful out there!

Rackspace has recently tripled their prices with us after our contract was up. So, we have servers that they are trying to force us to sign a new contract with them for a considerably higher price.

So, with that being said, we need 5 dedicated machines with these specs or similar:

Server Platform: Dual Processor Multi-Core Dedicated Server - Dell R720
• Processor: Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2640, 15M Cache, 2.50 GHz, Hex Core QTY: 2
• Random Access Memory: 128GB
• RAID, Set 1: RAID 1
• Drive Selection, Set 1: 600GB 15K SAS 3.5inch QTY: 2
• RAID, Set 2: RAID 5
• Drive Selection, Set 2: 600GB 15K SAS 3.5inch QTY: 3
• Drive Partitioning: Rackspace Suggested Partitioning QTY: 1
• Operating System: Windows Server 2016 Datacenter 64Bit QTY: 8

We will need about 12 ip addresses per machine.

We will supply our own windows licensing. Drive space cannot be less but definitely would like more space.

They would need to be in the USA. The time frame for 1 machine would be needed as soon as possible whereas the other 4, we will need as time permits to move the data over.

We need reliability, which is something Rackspace does well.

I hope I covered everything.

Thanks!

I have a dedicated server, and I need to move the /home from the smaller ssd drive to the 12tb sata drive. The sata drive is mounted, and currently only has one directory /backup.

Is there a way I can do the move without too much trouble? Sorry for the novice question, but I am not getting any response from the provider, and I need the extra space.

Thank you very much in advance for any answers to this.

This is my first post on Web Hosting Talk Forum. I need your help. My server consists of 2 hard drives. 1TB x 2 SATA. In last week my server gets slow down and the data center noticed that I have an issue with my hard drive. They said " We are showing drive SDB is failing and will need to be replaced, " They asked me to take a backup and replace the hard drive immediately.

I have 2 hard drives and I have installed CentOS 7 with software RAID 1 ( Software RAID ). So now my question is do I need to restore the backup once we replace the hard drive. ? or is it syncing with RAID without any manual backup restoration ?

This current admin company is driving me insane! They are literally making my server worse...

I have lost so much money in production time of not being able to develop websites!

This sever is for basic business sites.

So I am moving this server from dedicated self-managed (with 3rd party admin) and now need a fully managed server.

This is just to host multiple websites. so we very rarely have issues on the server.

I need cpanel/whm

I am used to having multiple processors with multiple cores, but they are quite old, so maybe the more powerful processors can beat it?

It's an old server but has been a workhorse for development with no real issues.

i'd like the equivalent or better. Ideally under $200 month ($150 would be great!)

-- is this even possible?

who do you recommend? Any black friday/cyber Monday specials?

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!

Hi there,

I'm currently struggling with creating a VPS on a Dedicated server.

I've purchased quite a high spec Dedicated server which is running Windows 2019 with Hyper-V installed and I'm looking at installing Ubuntu 16.04 and running it as a VPS off of the Dedicated server so I can allow my friends to make use of the server. I've purchased a failover IP address and I've attached it to the main Dedicated server but I'm a bit confused on how I am suppose to tell Hyper-V to use the additional IP only in that one VM box.

Please feel free to burn me for my stupidity but I could really do with some advice - thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
Jack R
