Rep Power: 0 | I am living in Delhi and plan to keep a web server of my own for my websites. To those: a) Who want to suggest me "Don't go for it", I am going to... b) Want to tell me "Will cost a lot", Thats what this topic is for... I have the server, sufficient supply, I can manage it easily. The problem is all about brodaband. I need a cheap, high speed and unlimited broadband connection. 2 MBPS will be great for me. As I check the MTNL website, 2 MBPS U?L is 9,000/- a month. Thats approx. 200$+/month... I can easily get a better server from some other areas in that price. So any suggestions about what I can/I should do? Plus if anyone did this before? How much electricity does this cost? Any ideas? Thanks born2hack |

Rep Power: 5 | No business venture should be made without: - cost / benefit analysis - ROI (Return on Investment) analysis - Risk analysis and Risk Mitigation methods Assuming MTNL is the cheapest, still Rs. 9000 pm is a large amount. If putting up personal web sites is what interests you, you could look for web hostinng providers such as host gator. But if it is not too much confidential, if you could explain your purposes and aims more candidly, a number of useful suggestions may come up.

Rep Power: 0 | The questions: So any suggestions about what I can/I should do? Plus if anyone did this before? How much electricity does this cost? Any ideas? I will add another: I just need a the cheapest internet connection and at least 1 MBPS(U/L), which provider should I go with? And its NOT a personal site. I mainly want the server to be on my side. And I plan to sell a few my friends hosting on that server, thats why I might buy cPanel/WHM. I hope I made myself clear. born2hack |

- cost / benefit analysis - ROI (Return on Investment) analysis - Risk analysis and Risk Mitigation methods you could normally take a hosting plan for urself!!!! decide what services is your website going to provide to the end user..... for example is your site going to contain only information or a lot of intraction from the users side as well which would be increasing the serverside load for your website. any kind off downloads or even flash movies, how goood is your data streaming mechanism going to be. who is going to be your target audience for example a website about "CCNA" would attract only people aspiring for carreer in networks it would not attract a normal surfer. these are just the starting things that u would need to keep in mind and plan!!!! As far as the hardware is concernd you could take up a machine with a fairly good amount of ram!!! and processor speed lets 8 GB for a start would be ok i guess!!!!. The best web server could be a linux box coz with it u can decide exactly wat services you want your server to run, primarily Apache server would be for your hosting, netfilter for your security routing, for internal load balancing., database services Mysql.....,,,........ what else..... proxy for your internal use as well.......... these are the basic things that i could think about... then you got to think about electricity maintainance as well... the major thing you would need to do is monitor the traffic to your website and then take an average hit on your website by which you could know the processor loads at different parts of the day and determine wether you need any upgrades as stuff... at this point a migration also comes into play... these are the starters ..... but dude you got a good thought !!!! try it out get hold of any linux OS learn it if you have good for you!!!! Nothing is impossible... i have seen guys do this mostly in the US i guess bbb.rpmfind.com rpmfind - linux news and resources is one such site if iam not mistaken. i could be getting the sites name wrong but this site provides service of dowloading latest rpms !!!! | |
