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.

We can apply all of the PHP changes for you, but installing FFmpeg and the other tools (I assume you're using something like Clipshare?) will have to be done at an extra cost (~$75-125) since this is a 3rd party script that we do not support.

Moving your files is not a problem either. Support will be able to extract and import everything from your full backup/cpmove file.

DJ,

Thanks for your interest and inquiries, very much appreciated. Yes all our servers are 100% managed and monitored. Everything you listed above can be custom configured for you as part of our managed services.

What we can do is install cpanel on your server with us so at least the environment is the same however we won't license it and charge you for it. This will all be very custom setup for you and we don't mind doing it for you as we understand sometimes we have to do things to make things work for you.

When you have ordered contact me I will arrange this for you eman.v surpasshosting.com

That is correct also, I didn't see you post about clipshare but if for something like that we would have to charge to install as removed mentioned
