Intel Core i7

[carnage]

Hey guys i want to start selling hosting and i went on worldstream and i saw a pretty good plan :

• Intel Core i7 920
• 8192 MB DDR3 RAM
• 500 GB 7.200 RPM
• 2000 GB Traffic p/m

For 111 euro which is like 155 usd i was wondering if i get this would it be a good server? and would it protected against ddos and other attacks thanks. And what would i need to start selling hosting and how many sites could this hold? Thanks.

For shared hosting, 2x Quad Xeon are much better than i7. Also WorldStream doesn't offer any hardware protection against DDoS, you need to install a software firewall, as long attack are not too huge, you should not have problem.

dont use i7 there is some issue with linux kernel and i7 on CentOS 5.3 . also the same config with 2x750 hdd can be obtained at hetzner.de . there support is superb fast, but if u are planning to use centos 5.3 there u will suffer some strange issues

what if i dont use centos on worldstream? and about how many sites can i hold if i do get i7 without centos

You cannot count how many account max per servers, this depend on many fact on your configuration/optimization and site itself. you can overload your servers with only one site on it.

carnage : then r u planning to buy RHEL5 indorder to use with WHM/CPANEL . only CentOS and RHEL is supported by WHM/CPANEL . with out WHM/CPANEL a shared hosting is waste. Directadmin is not very much good in my option

vgnheart alright thanks for the heads up
