Tziporet,
I have been talking to our hosting provider this past week
about upgrading our server. We need to decide on the
configuration.
Currently, we pay $199 for the following configuration:
* Dual 3.4 GHz Pentium D
* 1 GB RAM
* 160 GB hard drive
* 100 GB/month bandwidth
* 20 GB backup space
Below are some of their pre-packaged plans. An alternate
plan for $199/month:
* Intel Core 2 DUO 2.2GHz
* 1 GB RAM
* hardware RAID1
* 500 GB disk (2 250 GB SATA II drives)
* 200 GB/month bandwidth
* 5 GB of backup space
For $239/month:
* quad 2.13 GHz Xeon
* 2 GB RAM
* hardware RAID1
* 500 GB disk (2 250 GB SATA II drives)
* 250 GB/month bandwidth
* 10 GB of backup space
For $399/month:
* dual Quad 2.3 GHz Xeon
* 4 GB RAM
* hardware RAID1
* 280 GB disk (2 140 GB SAS drives)
* dual 1G NICs
* redundant power supplies
* 300 GB/month bandwidth
* 20 GB of backup space
We can also customize any of these plans. As an example,
each extra GB of backup space costs $1/month and each extra
GB of bandwidth costs roughly $0.50/month.
My current thought is that the $239/month package would meet
our needs. We will need to upgrade it to at least 20GB of
backup; or even more.
I vote for 25 or even 30GB: 20GB is a little tight
Also, we have been running Ubuntu
6.06 Dapper Drake with LTS. The latest LTS version of
Ubuntu recently came out, Hardy Heron 8.04, and it probably
makes sense to start out with that.
That gets my vote too: I've been running this on my laptop since it came
out, and it runs well.
Note that we should
also get a 10% discount on any of the above quoted prices.
Comments? As soon as we agree on the configuration, we can
put it into place.
Thanks.
