Luca S. Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hello,for prestashop could be good this server?What linux distro do you advice me? Centos 64 bit? With apache or lighttpd?HP ProLiant DL120Intel Quad Core Xeon X32108GB DDR22x500GB SATA2Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It's more than enough, apache + fastcgi is a good choice, as it let you assign proper file permissions (755 while still being able to write to files from the webserver) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 As you're asking for this advice, I assume you're just starting out with a new shop. In which case this is complete overkill.(Unless you believe you'll get thousands of concurrent transactions a few months from now)Sure, it'll purr along happily on that machine, but you might just as well save you the money now and get a Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz with 4Gb of memory with a decent disk which'll work just as fine.Alternatively, get two medium-speed servers and load balance your traffic; that way you'll have a backup in case one server fails. That would make more sense for the same amount of money.But that's all assuming that you you're just starting out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca S. Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Mmm yes i'm starting but i will receive a lot of traffic.What about this?-SERVER SPECIFICATIONSServerDell PowerEdge 1850-CPUDual Xeon 2.8 Ghz-RAM4GB DDR2-Harddisk2 x 73GB SCSI 10kHardware RAIDRAID 1 (Mirror)However, what about some nodes on vps.net? Too expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstru Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 i would suggest you first a VPS and then an upgrade to a dedicated drop me an pm to send you a better offer for vps or dedicated (than the one from vps.net) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah, a ~ 512MB VPS with a 1024MB burst would be what I'd go for. You can always upgrade later, but downgrading from a pricey, too expensive dedicated server with a 12 month contact is a lot tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstru Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 i'm now running on a vps :# 3,000 MHz CPU Power# 25,000 MB Webspace (SCSI)# 1,024 MB RAM / 2,048 MB FlexRAM*# 5,000 GB Traffic/month# 1 fixed IP includedfor 9euro/month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah, exactly what I meant.Alternatively you may want to see if you can find a VPS provider who'll set you up with an SSL certificate; that'll save you some money in the short-term.Oh, and as for which distribution: anything you feel most comfortable with.I'm a Debian guy, but it's all up to personal preference; PrestaShop doesn't really use any odd dependencies that would require you to choose one distribution.

Robert G. Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 That's not what I meant; some VPS providers give discounts / free SSL certificates for new customers, so you may want to find one that offers this.Just a tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca S. Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yes, but my store will have atleast 1 day at week a peak of 2000/5000 visitors in a few hours... So i think vps cannot support them....That's my problem....On vps.net there are good price, you can also upgrade nodes if you need more resource, but on leaseweb.com there are some dedicated servers with a good price, my budget is 50-70€ at month..

Luca S. Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 datacenter is in Strasbourg/France ehehe i think ovh..however is better have a quad core with hdd sata2 or a dual core with hdd 10k rpm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstru Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 if you have huge number of hits, i would go for a 10k rpm due to lower response time, anyway , in our day , a raid5 with sata2 / 7200rpm would reach almost the same performance as the 10k, but with lower consumption and less heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
