Hello,
I have a video sharing site and it is quickly out growing the shared server that I am on. I am looking to get a dedicated server for the site to run on but I have a question first.
Since Surpass offers managed servers you guys are going to be my first choice for when I get a dedicated.
For my video site to accept uploads, and covert them to .flv format there are a few things that need to be installed on the server. Here is the list of what the site requires:
- PHP (version 4.3 + / not tested on PHP 5)
- PHP Configuration
- safe_mode = off
- max_execution_time = 1000 (recommended to prevent timeouts during video upload/conversion)
- session.gc_maxlifetime = 14000 (recommended to prevent session expires during video upload)
- open_basedir = (no value)
- output_buffering = on
- upload_max_filesize = 100M (recommended maximum video upload size in MB)
- post_max_size = 100M (recommended maximum video upload size in MB)
- GD Library 2 or higher
- Mplayer + Mencoder (MPlayer - The Movie Player)
- Flv2tool (inlet media FLVTool2 - Flash video and meta data manipulation)
- Libogg + Libvorbis (Xiph.org: Downloads)
- LAME MP3 Encoder (LAME MP3 Encoder)
When I order, would I be able to have support install and configure the server for this before I transfer the site over?
Also, I don't plan on have a control panel(ie cpanel) on the server since I dont plan to offer hosting. Would you be able to take my cpanel backup from my current host and put it on the dedicated server without having to install cpanel? I think if you extracted the backup you could just upload my mysql database and my public_html folder correct?
Thanks for your time and I look forward to being on a server thats not oversold and not slow.
