Hey Yahoo techies,I want to start a hosting company and I need to know where and what to buy for a server that has similar quality as server on BlueHost, GoDaddy, and 1and1. To help you organize an answer, here's a list.1 Server Parts a. CPU b. RAM and amount2. Server Rack3. Storage Databases4. Host Control Panel5. XAMPPS to install MySQL, PHP, Mercury, etc.6. High Speed ISP (Which ones? I live in Irvine, CA)I have no idea what brands and hardware specifications I need. Please tell em what parts I would need and which ones are best or adequate for a Host. Is XAMPPS and a CPanel License all I need to install??So is that all I need? Let me know if I need anything else to run a web host company! Software, Hardware, or anything at all. I do plan on having a office location to run the Host, it's not from home.Wamr Regards,Jason
well if your starting a host shoudnt you know this? call dell there help you.my da works ther lol
You should consider a data center if you are going to do anything more than low traffic personal web pages and brochure-ware web pages. Data centers provide more reliable connectivity with a massive economy of scale. They also provide physical security, cooling, and power reliability you would not be able to achieve as economically. While you will eventually want to own the hardware, starting out you may not have the volume to justify it. How dose the cash flow series of buying compare to leasing at the beginning of your business? Depending on where you add value it may even be worth while to start as a reseller. Before you decide to host locally talk to your telco about leased lines, Service Level Agreements, and minimum committed bit rates. I hope this helps.
