What type of server i should pick

CAT-webhosting · August 22nd, 2005, 5:11 PM

Hi,

I would like to have your opinion in the difficult choice i need to make when changing to a dedicated server.

Currently you see the following servers available.

Intel Celeron 1.8 Ghz 400Mhz Bus

Intel Pentium IV 2.4Ghz 533Mhz Bus

Intel Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz

Currently i am offering shop hosting to my customers. So they normally have only CubeCart installed on their account an no access to the server. This basically means just 1 MySQL database per account.

There will be accounts with full access but they are the minority.

What should i chose, the Celeron or the P4. The Dual Xeon is way above budget.

I hope you have some answers for me.

You might wanna wait and see what Surpass comes out with new specs.

P4 sounds like the best move to me.

the Celeron with 512mb should do just fine

Yeah, I'd wait until they start launching their new servers.

I have the same question.
We are having like 20.000(max) hits per day would lowest dedicated server be enough?
Database is about 20Mb big. If this matter

I'd probably go with the P4. I just wish I could afford a dedicated server right now.

If somebody would buy my loft, I'll be able to. ;-)
