I've got a large network of proxy sites, and I'm currently with Hivelocity. Server specs are as follows: P4 2.8GHZ Dual Core 2GB Ram Even whenever there are no requests by others, it takes forever to load pages through the proxy. Who has QUICK dedicated servers?
Hello, We can provide you fast, stable and reliable dedicated server. All our servers have branded hardware from Dell and we have 2 uplinks of 15 Gbps for our Datacenter in Maidenhead ( UK ). All our dedicated servers are fully managed and you don't need to spend anything extra for management of your server. Our dedicated plans are displayed on http://www.webhosting.uk.com/dedicated.php Please feel free to contact us if you have any more queries.
Hawk Host has several dedicated server offerings. You can view them all by visiting our dedicated server page. But this issue at hand sounds like a problem with your machine whether it's mismanaged I do not know. But if you are not serving pages and it's still super slow then something is up. What's the load average of the machine when nothing is supposedly running? What sort of bandwidth can you sustain when its slow? Now to determine the bandwidth just do a wget of a large feel if it's able to burst up quite a bit I highly doubt it's a probably with the connection.
And if the speed gets slow at your host, just change host, dont wait for them to fix it because they will probably not do it.
Well, it downloaded a file at 300kbps, but when browsing through PHproxy its incredibly slow, even when server load is minimal. I've optimized my php.ini and httpd.conf files, and its still slow.
Don't go with Layeredtech. They have slower connection. Try some european server. Easyspeedy.com, leaseweb.com or rapidswitch or similar strong network company.
So it's just slow for the proxy the physical machine does not feel sluggish. Then I'd suggest maybe looking at a larger connection. If you're currently only on a 10mbit port look to getting a 100mbit port.
I highly recommend Atjeu! I have 4 servers with them and I can say that I am more than happy with network / speed / uptime and ahead of all its MANAGED! Send an email to jeff [at] atjeu.com and tell him Masud has recommended you guys! Good luck!
Try downloading http://speedtest.layeredtech.com/32mb.test.file.zip. You should probably get over 1Mbyte/sec. If you're not have you tried contacting hivelocity about your download speed issues?
10.51 MB/s here (our machines are in texas so that's why) I just assumed layeredtech's test files would be close enough. Anyways... If you do in fact think it's just the speed of the connection look elsewhere there are many options numerous mentioned in this topic already. But here's some www.layeredtech.com www.softlayer.com www.dedicatednow.com www.ts-host.com www.theplanet.com ect.
I've just check from 1 of my dedicated server which has 100 Mbit connection to test the connection it is 250 Kbps which is very slow. **To check my server connection I have checked to download in the same server from rapidshare and it is downloading 6500 Kbps and from another server in different country and it is downloading 8.9 Mbps.
I was confused by that. Anyway if I'm getting around 800kbps on that test file(http://speedtest.layeredtech.com/32mb.test.file.zip), should I look for a new host? My server itself hasn't been brought to its knees as far as resources, but the download/upload is slow IMO.
