If you use the KVM hypervisor, I would make sweet love to you.

RHEL is always a plus, but CentOS is good enough.

[QUOTE=Fizzadar;24038441]Yup :/

In good news though, in a week we could have not only a new site, but also US unmetered VPS![/QUOTE]

I was having a look at datacenters and it appears that Hetzner was the way to go with their EQ8 plan able to dominate [url]http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/eq8/[/url] do you think I could fit 50-60 128mb xen vpss' on one of those?

Most likely not with that processor.

The drives will be your bottleneck way before anything else.

Even though it still works surprisingly well.

[Fizzadar]

Software RAID 1 is perfectly fine in my experience. IO load is far more a bottleneck than the CPU/RAM load produced by software RAID.

The bottleneck always tends to be one or two VM's using heavy databases, and pushing a lot of IO.

Went to the data center today and installed my server with my friend who runs [url]www.beyondhosting.net[/url] who was also installing another dedicated server.

Here are a few pictures:

If not, then good luck![/QUOTE]

*Cough*Christopher McDonnell*Cough* - I got lots of blame for doing not much at all really. I was just a livezilla agent :|, I didn't do much else apart from make the main website. All the rest was Chris's fault.

Had to clear all the cables out of a server room last Sunday. A few hundred rack servers, with many many switches. Have you ever seen 5 piles of network cables piled 4 feet high with a diameter of 6 feet before? I hate network cables now :frog:

Remember when we remodelled our "server room" only got 2 rackclosets and I thought it was a pain in the ass to take out allllll the cables and put them back.

I feel your pain
