Holy cow! Nice gear, I’m jealous. In my past I’ve hosted several website and game servers from my home, never had anything near as nice as this for that. I’m guessing the server is equipped with SSD:s? Back in the day I omce setup a local website and forgot to rotate session files created by PHP. Cost me a hard drive that did. Are you building your website from scratch or do you intend using some platform? What kind of bandwidth do you have?

Yeah, I actually got it without storage for $250 from a company that migrated to "the cloud". I bought 4x2TB WesternDigital SSDs. My bandwidth is 1Gb/s for each Ethernet port, but I'm using my ISP's router so I don't think it's the best, unfortunately. In the sense that, sure each port is 1Gb/s but if 1 port consumes that 1Gb/s, all the others will be throttled (even though the router supports "Up to 10Gb/s"). I haven't decided yet, but I'm probably going to use Astro[1]; lots of beautiful themes and easy set up. [1]: https://astro.build/ https://astro.build/

  Sounds like you got a really good deal on your hardware mate. Seems a little overkill for a simple website/blog, but I’m guessing you intend doing more with this? I’m unfamiliar with Astro unfortunately so can’t really say too much about it. What kind of speed do you get from your ISP? You get good latency?

    Oh yeah I have all kinds of things hosted with Docker Swarm: Jellyfin, FreshRSS, Gitea that I use the most. Otherwise I also have TeamSpeak just for the sake of it. When needed I spin up an Assetto Corsa or World of Warcraft private server, too :) Just did a speedtest on Fast.com and got 1Gbps download, 950Mbps upload and 0ms unloaded and 33ms loaded. Granted, that's not on my server.

      Man I just keep getting more jelaous xD 1gps/1gps is my wet dream. The house I live in is tied into a pretty shitty ISP, didn’t know that though until after I bought the place. You live and you learn, someday I too will have a setup this beautiful. Sorry I couldn’t be of any real help :)

        Yeah it's a pretty good set-up I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes the server gets a bit noisy but it's not under heavy-load very often so it's very livable :) Maybe one day I'll put it in a datacenter or something (I wonder if it's even possible). No worries, if you have any questions I'd be happy to help :)
