I forgot too add..."Devilbandit" if you would like to cut your monthly cost and have RMS for every low cost, PM me and I'll guide you. Your site is small and their is no need for a dedicated server, don't listen to "Mygaytery".. He only writes about things other ppl tell him ...
You know, I don't really care about the results of this one:
1. Go back to school and learn about something besides how to run your mouth mickey... You got no clue as to what your talking about here. The Original Post is about how to get an RMS running on the server he has. Not as to how to make yourself look smart, unfortunately that won't even happen if you paint a giant:
I'M SMART!
In the middle of your forehead, it'll still be masked by the giant "L" that has been permanently imprinted from your birth.
Now, if you don't know what a VPS is, then just own up to it and move on. But, to accuse me of writing what people tell me: That is the biggest joke in the world. I have owned the VPS in the past and today I own a Cluster of Deds that run on an SQL Load Balancer. Do you know what a Load Balancer is or what it does?
I know you don't, so let me help ya out here little one:
1. Let's say you have 80K members and 4 servers. But your most active members are the last 35K to join. Well, according to basic theories, those profiles would be at the end of the DB and load up one server while the others sat. With a Load Balancer, we ignore what server the profile was originally sitting on instead utilize the resources of all servers equally. Now, when there are 40K members on the site and 35K of them are the last 35K to join, instead of loading that last 1 or 2 servers in the cluster (which was the issue that server banks had) we load the servers equally so that each is holding connection to 10K and the resources of all 4 servers become available across the board. Of course, this means that all members will get equal load times and such whatever page they are viewing, with the exception of course that limitation will apply based upon the end users hardware. Hope that confused your brain cell.
2. Next up, I have never utilized and never will utilize a shared hosting plan for the following reasons dufas:
-
I'm not poor like you so I don't have to.
-
I have control over my servers, what they run and do not run the risk of a Mickey Mouse idiot accidentally slipping into my files because security wasn't set right and he wanted to go chase Minnie around the processor.
-
I tend to run development items that you haven't imagined yet. Such as a communications wall, multi-ticket purchases for events, tons of different profile types & membership leves (Damn, haven't seen that trick before have you little one) Comments sections that run through a spam filter (yeah, you guys might have it for e-mail, but I got it on the comments too) and so many other uniquely special toys. Hell, I bet you even have to login to phpMyAdmin to run an SQL file, uploading it as a .txt file of course. Hmmmm... Why am I running them from my Admin panel then little one? Especially if I know nothing about anything.
3. I run my own RMS because it's safer and means I don't have to be dependent upon anyone else to get it up and running should it fail. Think about it little brain. If your hosts RMS goes down and they are not in at the moment, then your down until they come back and refire it regardless of what you try to do on your end. That is such a nice proposition, to sit and stare at a screen with an eternal connecting icon rolling on it, all because your to POOR to be able to spring the 40 bucks for a VPS even. In the meantime, your members are relieving themselves all over the net with negative remarks about your site not working and you have NO control over getting it back up. Yeah, keep typing e-mails to the host, I'm sure that'll make your site work. If not, it'll at least help to increase your blood pressure as you realize your at their mercy.
Now, in the end I have SSH Access... You Don't. I have root Access, You Don't! I have my own RMS, you have to lease and depend on someone else! I get to decide what php version I'll run, you Don't. I get to decide my security levels based upon what I need, You Don't! I get to control my upload limits, You Don't! I get to do so many other cool things, like set up mod_security and mod_sentry... Or perhaps I want it to run suhosin for it's security settings.... You Don't because your not mature enough to understand these things yet.
Next time you want to come in here and try to take me on via your little bash statements, make sure you have a clue what your talking about. There is not a single individual out there that will recommend a shared hosting plan (except for the host who is selling it to you) over a VPS or Dedicated Plan. Shared is notoriously hacked as it has to many issues regarding cross server files, idiots finding ways to move from domain to domain and just overall a stupid idea. Of course, look who I'm talking to as I use the words "stupid" and "idiot".
I'll finsih up this rant with this quote from you MickyB... You said it on October 26th at 2:22AM and I quote:
" All I know is what my host provides..."
That's right Ricky Bobby... I mean MickyB, all you know is what your host provides and therefore you need to go and learn many more things before you attempt to insult and push people around.
And a final note to the wise:
I was being polite until you screwed with my screenname and turned it into an offensively pornographic version.
