With hostony, should be set up within 24 hours, I'll let you know how it goes, it has two control panels, including CPANEL, $195 a month, no set up...
But what will I be able to do that I haven't before? What is cool about servers? Got any ideas of what I can do with it apart from for websites? Home network managing?
Was looking at dedicated servers in a mag - one idea I hadnt thought off was running a games server... not sure how that could make any cash though?
Nice one:)
Gameservers need way to much maintenance and you need a couple to mae money from it.Quote:

So incka what kinda server you got? Bandwidth?
What else can you do with a dedicated server from a web hosting company besides web hosting? Good question :DQuote:

CPU 2200 Mhz AMD XP
Memory 512 MB
HDD 60 gb
IPs 8
Bandwidth 1000 Gb
Control panel WHM/Cpanel
I didn't read that page in detail, is the server unmanaged, semi-managed, or fully managed?
I honestly think you wasted that money, unless you do something else other than hosting.
It's managed - Fully.
The control panels are WHM/Cpanel, but I have an OS choice, RH9, Fedora, or FreeBSD? Which should I pick?
FreeBSD, although CPanel seem to provide more regular updates for Red Hat.
What are you going to use it for? Why did you feel you needed it?
Just websites... I also want to be able to provide hosting. I want streaming capabilities, so I might need a special OS for that. Can you guys copy and paste a short description of each for me to choose from please...
If you're going to provide hosting to others, then I'd choose FreeBSD.
So far that's winning...
I went with FreeBSD after posts here, on SP and SeverTalk
I had trouble with FreeBSD when using the .htaccess file...
Um, I'm sure all the server administerators who post on SitePoint can help me out...
I've never had problems with htaccess on FreeBSD.
Thats good to here :)
.htaccess is working, I haven't had any problems with it.
