Hi Martyn,

Would you require an optimised hosting environment?

Hi Martyn,

Ermm unsure really.. i havent really optimised my current vps and it runs fine, i guess it depends how its setup!

Hi Martyn,

If your current plan is fine, I don't think you should move From what it sounds, you've got a great deal.

 

[Martyn]

but im hoping to get more for my money!

Hmm ok

http://www.radonsystems.net/services/website-hosting/vps-plans.19 Here are the non-optimised VPS plans. The difference here is that we don't supply and support (issues)/manage LiteSpeed Web Server, and we do not perform optimisation tasks on your environment.

Sorry i managed to get a really really good deal >.<

Shamil,

I am looking at your services but I can't find any rates on bandwidth overage fees. I am trying to forecast incremental costs as a site gets significant traffic. I thought I might find more information in your "Enterprise" area of the XenForo optimized section, but it takes you to a support ticket.

Thanks.

Hi Ed,

As of yet, we haven't had anyone going over their allocated bandwidth, however, the established datacenter policies average at $2 per gigabyte, hence we'd enforce a $2 per gigabyte overage. It would probably be wise to use a Content Delivery Network with this, and we'd be able to help you set up the CDN for usage on your XenForo website.

The Enterprise VPS options are by custom order only, and thus a ticket would need to be lodged for a quote to be generated by the system. The way you contact us, however, doesn't matter, so I could even put a quote in from this a conversation here.

Doesn't Litespeed web server license have a 500 concurrent connection limit when running in a VPS environment?

out of curiosity ... how much -more less- the Litespeed portion of the bill ?

The LiteSpeed license costs us $20.34 (volume discount), so around $25 from the starting package.

Yep It's less than $10 we get.

litespeed is worth it but only if you have a high volume website, but even then its hard to say if you'd use a VPS..

Out of curosity what makes it xenforo optmisised, i havent properly looked about but the only thing i can see which makes XenForo run that little better is APC

We perform optimisations at the platform/OS level, and continuously monitor and look for ways to optimise the VPS. At the moment, we're looking at switching MySQL out for Percona Server or MariaDB, hover, cPanel clients are at a disadvantage that it's more difficult to try to do it, so the better idea would be to replace the SQL server completely, as a remote host - just another VPS on the node.

mysqli is better isnt it?

MySQLi is the client library that PHP can use to communicate with the MySQL server (or Percona/MariaDB). MySQLi is the required protocol by XenForo.
