Oh so slow.

[Lawnmower Man]

Any specific reason why we need to buy a server? IMHO renting a dedicated server with unlimited bandwidth could be also an option, e.g. see http://www.micfo.com/dedicated-servers-web-hosting.html -just an example which I googled, there are plenty of other companies. But as robspot pointed out, we need a spec first - How much RAM, HD, which CPU...

I have to agree with Werner on this.  I personaly looked at puting a server a server in to a Co-Lo site and it't more expensive.  Basicly they rent a server for say £20 pm but to put your server in there was £30.

The bandwidth thing has two parts.   

One is speed.  The current server will most likely have a 100Mb LAN cand  So it can transmit about 10 Megabytes per second. 

The other is the amount of data.  This is a poptential limit on the Volume in Gigabytes you can transmit in and out.

What we really need to have are the volumes.    Unlimited bandwidth for say £50  is a waste of money if your only using say 10Gig and you could but that for say £10 per month. 

You need to watch out for FUD.

As mentioned, GF promised to send me stats from the server. He said it only takes a small amount of disk space. I execpt he's busy on other stuff right now so nothing much will happen until after LM. But the points above are noted, and I'll come back to this thread when I have some answers.

Is it just me or has this problem reared it's ugly head again, so slow today slower than any other time. Other sites that I visit are coming up as fast as normal.

No problems here Brian.  It did seem slow earlier on, but rebooted my PC and now all is OK.

Thanks Del, will try rebooting, if that does not work there's always the lump hammer.
