I'm going to get a CPX11 cloud server from Hetzner in the US data center, so I can spin it up and practice transferring another one of my sites across to it. It's only like $6pm for 2 vCPU 2gb ram on shared hosting. Then, once I get the hang of it, I can reconfigure it to a Dedicated CPU in the...
My spec is:
4 CPU (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz)
Now the 4 CPU thing...I don't know if that is referring to cores or if they are full CPU's.
I've just realised that you have probably gone to the link in my profile to see how busy my forum was. But that is not my main forum, which was started 24 years ago.
One thing I've always noticed is that I'm probably not using much CPU on my site since everything is cached so much. Here are...
For me, it is about cost cutting. I'm going to try the Hetzner route, and that means I have to go for a cloud option because they are the only ones with data centers in the US.
Also, I like the idea of getting a bit more clued up on the techie sideof things regarding server admin. I was...
I am now steering towards DirectAdmin. I prefer the look of Plesk, but DirectAdmin is less expensive. Any of these options are way cheaper than CPanel though, so I will be glad to get rid.
I'm slowly but surely coming around to your way of thinking. I've always had a managed VPS service in the past, but I am paying about $300 per year for the privilege with it built into part of my hosting fee. So, I took a look around at some YouTube videos, showing someone setting up a WordPress...
For the techies on this thread, I feel like I need to know a little bit more about the server side of things. I am a JavaScript/React programmer so a techie kind of person my self, but I am not sure what YouTube videos I need to watch to learn a bit more about understanding the server side of...
At the moment, my site says 13 members signed in and 410 guests. Does it make much difference to performance requirements if they are signed in vs guests? I ask because you mentioned just the number of members signed in.
I also have 5 other sites on my KnownHost account, although they are low...
Wow, never heard of them before! It is hard for me to know how popular certain webhosts are. So, what I've been doing is looking at the number of TrustPilot reviews to get a proxy for their popularity.
I know Google factors in website speed nowadays in their ranking algo, so a nice fast webhost...
Thanks for the response. I'm late to the party too, even though its my own post! Other priorities took over. Some things come to mind regarding the Hetzner setup.
1. I am confused by it! Are these still their own servers, but they just have so many? And if so, auctioning their own hosting...
