Bandwidth??
- Thread starter Tgace
- Start date
Short version,
We used up all of our alloted bandwidth this month, and had to put more quarters in the box.
We need our own server.

Ok, I have a moment to get more 'techy'.
MT is on a hosting plan that allows 50GB of monthly traffic. We exceeded that limit, and the hosting company automatically shut us down. I called them and got things turned back on and more bandwidth alloted to us, so we should be good for a few days (It'll reset to 0 on the 1st.)
With us adding more and more content, we're attracting more and more visitors, which is using up more server resources. I'm in the process of looking for an affordable solution to allow for our future expansion.

Ah, it's both good news and bad news then.
But the clock resets at midnight tomorrow? That's not so bad (I hope).
I lost a post to it! I hda gotten out of the habit of copying long posts to the clipboard first. I wish the Back button preserved typing!

So that explains the slow searches and slow loads today.
More quarters for the meter

Had a question come in concerning who is hosting MT.
Due to MT's requirements (high traffic, large database, lots of disk access) we've been renting space on a high-end server (quad processors, raid 5, 8GB ram, etc) through a 3rd party. This relationship has been a good one in that it's allowed MT to continue to grow without requiring us to go broke by renting a high end server ourselves.
The question is, upgrade the service, or get our own box. Both have pluses and minues.

It's always nice to have someone else to complain to when something breaks...and you'd still have bandwidth limits through an ISP, no?Bob Hubbard said:
If we get our own box, we're looking at a starting limit of oh, 1,000GB monthly.
We just hit 52GB or so. We'd have a little room to grow.

So... door to door chocolate bar sales time?
Thinking about it....though last time I did that I ate my profits.
50 gig xfer/month serves about 6800 pages a day at about 254k/page. This is impressive
It's a nice thought to have your own server; but, as was stated above, it's even nicer if it's an SEP. As the staff of MT is comprised of volunteers, it would be a significant increase in time required by some of the staff to setup and maintain MT's very own server (VOS).
Although it was a small burp in service the other day, getting the add'l bandwidth seemed a quick process.
So, the question is necessity, yes? Thewre's a swell relationship with an existing server and boosting the bandwidth, as needed, is smooth. Is it necessary, at this time (or the near future) to have MT's VOS?

So, there'd finally be bandwidth enough for Arnisador's World of Porn at www.arnisador.net?Bob Hubbard said:

Yeah, I've been too lazy to even put up a basic web page. But when Kaith gets all that bandwidth, look for page after page of vastly inappropriate material!
