Best server setup to start and scale SaaS?

Intro:

We ordered our first server from TailorMadeServers in March 2021 for few customers using BigBlueButton for their online conferences. And now we have 39 servers with them. The fully story is below.

Hardwa 10/10
What we like about TailorMadeServers is their unique baremetal servers. Just send a contact e-mail to ask building the server with your required hardware and configuration and almost all the possible configurations are possible if the hardware is available in the market. We first started with a small 1271v3 server then we got a Ryzen 3900XT for our BigBlueButton MP4 SaaS and now we have around 30 servers with dual E5-2620v3 running web-conferences with media streaming.

Pricing: 9/10
The pricing is unbeatable, one of the lowest we could find among the competition.

Support: 9/10

TailorMadeServers provided us with servers in little to no time after the incident of OVH, and with higher CPU capacity!
They helped us set 33 servers in a matter of 4 hours, which means 1 server every 7 minutes.
We have managed with the help of TailorMadeServers, to bring back the BigBlueButton conferencing system to all our customers affected by OVHFIRE in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and some other countries.
100% of our Bigbluebutton web-conferencing capacity wouldn't be possible after 24 hours from OVH-FIRE without the incredible support and commitment of TailorMadeServers.

Service: 9/10

Recently, one of the BigBlueButton servers at Tailor Made Servers has attained 742 concurrent participants across 15 meetings and we had no post complaints from our customers.
Moreover, below is an example of some of the web conferencing capacity and number of concurrent users within our customers servers at Tailor Made:
- University 1 in Middle East: 77% of web-conferencing capacity. (4000 to 4600 concurrent users)
- University 1 in Middle East Exams & Admission: 100% of web-conferencing capacity. (300-600 concurrent users with high demand on webcams)
- University 2 in Middle East: 100% of web-conferencing capacity. (800-1000 concurrent users)
- University 3 in Middle East (Dental care and pharmacy): 100% of web-conferencing capacity. (1200-1500 concurrent users)
- A call center for medical appointment schedule and tele-consultation: (40 to 50 schedule daily)

Features: 8/10
- On-Demand hardware.
- Remote Reboot
- 100Mbps Ports
- DDoS Protection

Network: 8.5/10
The network is reasonably stable, bandwidth ports are becoming increasingly more generous as time passes!
No major network problems can be mentioned, and while there has been some rare speed drop, the overall experience has been positive.
Furthermore, their DDoS security is excellent. Usually, every single server under the TMS umbrella is protected 24/7.
We would like to see offers with 250Mbps ports.

You will receive friendly and personal support at all stages, from pre-sales questions to your server provisioning.
Once you are hosted with TailorMadeServer, you will only wish you had tried TailorMadeServer sooner!

Hello,

I apologize if I'm not using the right terminology or if I am really new to this.

A few months ago, I started a website where people can upload short videos (50 MB max). Unfortunately, some users have complained that the upload speed on my website is lower compared to similar websites. The upload speed on my website only reaches 8mbps but the two similar websites have upload speed between 12-16 mbps. After talking to the host about the problem, they told me the following: There's still an issue which we'll be resolving in the future with our network that when there's a high latency between the server and the client the connection will slow down for some reason.

I have tested my website and the 2 similar websites from my home internet and the internet of several other friends, and I have seen similar results for the upload speed.

I am currently using a VPS from Scalahosting and their customer service has been amazing, but I do want to change providers as I would like my users to have a higher upload speed when uploading videos.

I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions on what host I can use for either a dedicated server or a streaming server? I am really new to this so I would need a managed services. The budget is not a problem so any server with a high upload speed for the users will be good.

Any help would be appreciate it.

I wonder, can good 2TB HDD 7200RPM (for example WD Gold or Black) can handle 1 KVM virtual machine (1CPU 3,54GHz, 8GB RAM) with all email server functionality (Postfix, Dovecot, Spamassassin, webmail Roundcube, etc.).

I total this KVM server would handle 400 mailbox'es. Let's assume that each user will use POP3 on computer and IMAP on Phone. About 10% users will use webmail. Also each user will SEND 50 and GET 50 emails per day.
Each year a user will grow mailbox by 1GB, so in total after 3 year the space will be occupied 3year x 1GB x 400users = 1,2TB

So my question will such combination be enough in terms of performance? What do you think about random read/write operation, won't it be slow?
Users quantity is not so much, but I want to plan infrastructure very carefull that I won't need to redone everything when we start the all things live.

This HDD will be on CEPH cluster storage, so we don't talk hear about the local RAID.
I can't afford SSD though.

Good people, could I have your advice?

I want create Streaming server, i have more than 100K online users.
this is the first time that i will use servers for Streaming, so i want know how many servers i need for this number of online users?
Will I find support that can equip servers and link them together?

we are currently running local online class with average brandwidth of <1TB per month. Our server uses open source class software.
unfortunately our network authority blocked all VOIPs and WebRTC connections. So we are planning to buy server either dedicated or VPS to run our own VPN. what hosting do you suggest?
As VPN uses very little space even 1gb ram would suffice with 10-20gb HDD.
we were planning to go for some VPS but our problem is network speed. which we think we require dedicated network speed. what you guys suggest?
we have over 90 concurrent students.
budget is low

Hello

Any body Help in this regards

i have dedicated server

i have two drives one 1 drive there is backups and on first one operating system and cpanel installed i am copying users etc folder and accidently copied to / and now my server is inaccesable

what is the solution for this if any body help me in this regards

So I'm looking forward to buy something like the Infra-3 server from OVH (https://www.ovhcloud.com/es/bare-metal/infra/infra-3/). They offer a 4x60GB SSD Sata hard Raid, and also a 3x3.84TB SSD NvMe Soft Raid. And althought I want more space, I think they sold the 4x960 so people can wain more speed? How much more speed could I win from that configuration?

Also they sold a 3x6TB HHD SATA Hard RAID. I want to know how much speed on I/O should I get in every case.

Currently I got a Infra-2 (https://www.ovhcloud.com/es/bare-metal/infra/infra-2/) with 2x960GB SSD NvMe SoftRaid + 2 x 6TB HDD Sata Soft Raid, How can I test the speed of I/O of those hard drives?

And If I start a new server, what kind of partitioning do you recommend to improve the I/O?

Hello, our company would need a server for coworking.

Windows2016 or 2019 is ok ( license can be bought from Ebay if needed)

We need that 10 -12 users can login at the same time thru RDP(user1, user2, user3, ect).

Example:

user1 have created a MS office XLS file and added it into the shared folder, user8 can open these (read and write) file.

In our office we have the Brother - MFC-J5335DW would be great when you could help us that we can scan directly into the server.

Server location would be good when NL.

Min 32GB ram
1Gbps
250Gb SDD is enough
and a powerfull CPU should do the job.

Long Term rental.

Payment in BTC

I have been hetzner customer for past 2 years. i run online online academy (online classes), for which i am using bigbluebutton.
monthly Bandwidth consumption is <1TB.
Processor EV-3 4 cores 8threads
32gb ram ECC
1gb NIC
raid 1 3TBx3

my only purpose of having dedicated server was dedicated 1gbps port that can handle over 60 concurrent users.

Their support is good, network WAS good as well.
But now i am having alot of ping drops and distortions in my class from past 1 month.

i have contacted hetzner and they have said that their network is running fine.

I have done few checks and it shows

Hetzner is saying that problem is out of their network so they cant do anything.
what should I do? should i shift to other host in USA or Canada? My current server is germany.
can anyone suggest affordable host <50USD

Hello, good afternoon. Look, I'm going to be honest, I know that it is not easy, nor is it cheap, but I am willing to learn to be able to create my server.
My idea is to make a server, that people can rent to play minecraft, that is, to create their server. My idea is that through an ftp they can connect to a desktop or something like that and can run their server. I have a pc that I buy to sell, but I couldn't sell it, so I want to use it for this. I know that there are pcs to make a server, but my idea is not to become a super hosting provider for minecraft. I want to go little by little. The pc I have has a ryzen 5 1600af, an asrock a320m-hdv 4.0 motherboard, a 2gb rx 550, a 500w redragon 80 plus bronze power supply, a 240gb pny solid disk, 8gb of ram and a kolink cabinet.
I know I'm going to have to make improvements, but I don't know how. What I know is that I'm going to need a lot of ram, because the minmecraft servers take up a lot. My idea is to put 32gb or 64gb to start with some clients. Also the storage if I will have to enlarge. Tell me if I'm wrong. Then around the source and the processor, I do not know if what it has is fine. So I ask them if the ryzen 5 1600 is going to work.
Well, having said all this, if any component that I have does not work, please tell me. And if I have to change one, tell me. For now my problem is the hardware, since around the software I will investigate a lot about linux and operating systems, to see which is the best and good more things. The software for now is not my doubt
