proggR Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 What are the average specs on a decent dedicated server/VPS. I keep seeing numbers that are surprisingly low but its all across the board. Even the $319 a month dedicated servers have only 1GB of RAM, Core 2 Duo and a 250GB drive. I mean realistically you can buy a cheap computer with better specs than that for under a grand. What makes servers so special (aside not having to pay overage charges on your residential internet bill). Is it really just a matter of T3/Fiber over cable?

Daniel0 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Modern datacenters will have high speed internet connections, backup power using UPSs and power generators, redundant components to maximize uptime, physical security using biometric security, fire protection and prevention systems, air conditioning to control temperature and humidity, and 24/7 onsite staff to monitor and fix things.

proggR Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Cool. Some of the descriptions reminded me of the Road Runner supercomputer and the images that went along with the article I read. I forgot to take into consideration the measures to maintain 100% uptime. Thanks for the overview. Its been a good read so far Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/116610-solved-dedicated-server-specs/#findComment-599623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
