MikeSpears Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I currently run my forum on a colocated Dell PowerEdge R210 that I run a ton of other things on. I use VMWare ESXi as the bare metal OS, with a CentOS 6/cPanel Virtual Machine, and I've got a bunch of other virtual machines on the server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Are you running windows as main OS? I tried to run VMWare on windows OS and I/O usage was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Cable Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 VMWare ESXi is an OS (bare metal), it does not run on Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexit Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm using a Linux VPS: 5GB Ram and GenuineIntel, Intel® Xeon®CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz I also run a game server which is integrated with my forums, which is why I require more ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESXi is bare metal, you might be thinking of VMWare Server, which is a piece of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steves Web Hosting Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 After years of using a dedicated server I made the move to putting my own machines in different colo facilities late last year. My main server uses an E3-1230 and a RAID 10 array, a chron job rsyncs the cPanel backup directory to a backup colo server thousands of miles away and through a different colo provider. I'm liking the colo thing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
