SecondSight Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hello ! :) I now have 700 gigabytes of traffic on my board each month. So, I wonder how much traffic it can manage... Can you tell me about it ? (if it's possible to give an answer) Thank you ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warzone Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 If that server can stand 700GB each month, well..u dont need to worry ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DKiwi Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 700gb isn't really that much and a dedicated server should hardly blink with this much bandwidth used. I often use more than this on my dedicated server. 3DKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondSight Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 If that server can stand 700GB each month, well..u dont need to worry ;) Sorry, I forgot to tell you about my server config. It is a 64 bit Bi Xeon Quad 8x 2.33+ with 16GB RAM and two 1TB HDD (RAID), with : Apache 2.0.63 PHP 5.2.9 MySQL 5.0.89 XCache Sphinx as the search engine. The company which manages it says it has too much traffic... Perhaps too much a the same time ? Thank you for your answers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 meh it looks like company is trying to get more money from u.. I use 3-4TB on monthly basis... less then 1 TB is nothing for the server specs u told. Normally off shore dedicated users come with 5TB / 10 TB BW limit and in US generally they put 3-5TB BW limit with the server specs you mentioned. I guess it all depends on there package. Whats the BW limit on the package which you had bought? Hard to believe they are giving less then 1TB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dedicated only has 500 GB BW but it's upgradeable and they charge me extra per 100 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondSight Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hello ! The companies which manage my server and who rent me the server are not the same companies. So it's not a problem of trying to get more money from me. :) There is no limit to the traffic for my server. I simply wanted to know is 700 gigabytes was not a problem (regarding server efficiency). Thank you ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DKiwi Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I get 3000GB monthly bandwidth on my dedicated server before they start charging more. Core 2 Duo 2.4 3GB RAM 2 x 160GB HD. 3DKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthree Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The server has too much IPB. IPB is such a pig you'll run out of CPU power long before you run out of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondSight Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Well, as I've told in this post, once I set "Enable Topic Marking Tracking ?" to "No" the server load went down to about 0.50. I've opened a support ticket about this and I'm sure once it will be fixed, everything will be fine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robulosity2 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The server has too much IPB. IPB is such a pig you'll run out of CPU power long before you run out of bandwidth. Sure, if your running a Celeron based server... Anyway, I think what a lot of you are completely ignoring here is bandwidth is one thing, sustainable thruput is another... His host may mean he is often peaking on his pipe limits (he may be on a 10MB/s not 100 or 1G) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
