384 MB of RAM is really low for a site (apache + db i assume). I host my Drupal site ( http://esciencenews.com http://esciencenews.com ) at ServInt on a 90$/month package with 784 MB of RAM. Dont know how I would do it with 384, looks impossible to me. Higher traffic daily than your spike.
- brandnewlow 18y agoHey there! I forgot you hang out here (confession: I read your esciencenews Drupal showcase writeup about once a week for inspiration). Ok. So 384 looks low. That's helpful, objective advice. Thanks.
- silencio 18y agoI'm paying for a dedicated server at the moment with 1GB ram for 39 euros/month, an upgrade to 2gb ram (total) is 10 euros/month extra from LeaseWeb (http://leaseweb.com http://leaseweb.com), which has half decent routing. I know the exchange rate sucks (being in the US myself), but an option to consider, perhaps. I've always been partial to Slicehost, but my main need uses a lot of bandwidth and disk space and they absolutely can't compare to overseas hosts for bw/$. slicehost's most generous plan is 1600gb transfer at $280 and our 4000gb for 79 euros from leaseweb is vastly cheaper, although you have to mix and match some of the other specs. Honestly, do not go with midphase dedicated servers. If I remember correctly they're just reselling softlayer(.com), and softlayer is a LOT better in every aspect compared to midphase. I've had some friends use midphase and have so much trouble with their customer support when something goes wrong...softlayer in my experience has been everything great about a company providing these kinds of services.
