I’m looking at moving some of my services to a dedicated server, but I’m not sure where the jump from a VPS starts making sense. For those running dedicated servers, what are you hosting on them? Was there a point where the VPS wasn’t enough anymore, or did you switch for a different reason? submitted by /u/Lorynne_Strzempka [link] [comments]

More than once have I seen people say: “upgrade your server if it is running slow”… They are all wrong. If your first server is a half-decent workhorse and you aren’t serving static content wouldn’t you rather reduce latency? With static content a CDN, such as Cloudflare, would suffice, but with rapid and changing content this simply isn’t the case. We actually solved our own problems in this way. Our main server is in Finland. Every single request from the US would go there. Our avg response time accross the US was 1.5s. This is now down to 0.4s. We installed a server in the US. We reprogrammed our servers to communicate with eachother, sync information, redirect users. It took a lot of effort. There are still some bugs, but I can confidently say this is a more future-proof solution for us and many more devs around the world. Maybe what the user will notice most isn’t that you can process their request 1.5x faster on the server, but that you managed to reduce the delay between them and your nearest server, which is where the majority of the wait is.

I work for a small business. I am in a messy situation. Apparently our web domain has expired. The rights are currently with namecheap. Our founder paid someone over 20 years ago to register the website. The bills had been getting paid until now. We have no way to contact the person who original registered the website. They may have passed away. We reached out to namecheap and they said they will contact the email associated with the site. There is a decent probability that email no longer exists and our founder doesn’t remember which one it is. They said that if they do not respond in 24 hours, they will have us pay for the website. Is it possible that we could transfer this website to another email? Anyone have any experience with this? submitted by /u/tampa_vice [link] [comments]
