VaGunTrader,

From how I interpret your question, I am talking about subscribing to one. Meaning that the host owns the server and you are basically renting its use. For intents and purposes it is your own server.

There is another option where you do actually own the physical server. It's called Co-location. That is where the host will house your server in their data center and provide the connection to the internet.

In the dedicated server realm, there are often two choices. Managed and Non-managed.

I was referring to a non-managed dedicated server. That is where you are the admin of the server and thus you are responsible for maintaining it.

For a managed server, you still have the full resources of the server for your use. The distinction is that the host will maintain it. Such an account will cost considerably more.

For non-dedicated servers, there are various "Control Panels" available that takes a lot of the bite out of managing a server. C-Panel and Plesk chief amongst them. These products are designed to allow lessor knowledgeable people perform the common tasks of maintaining a server. i.e. Creating new domains, setting up your DNS, creating e-mail accounts and such.

Still, there is more to running things than just maintaining your forums.

Glad to see that Mindraven is at least promising a remedy to your problem. Hope it resolves itself.

I know nothing about managing a server so I'd have to pay to have it done.

It's really not that hard once it's setup; just run updates every so often via ssh... What is a pain in the butt is if you don't keep things updated (a lot of the time just normal user scripts installed on yoru site) you're responsible for cleaning up the mess...

I was managing 18 servers at the old webhost I used to work at (was let go due to "restructuring" unfortunately) on my own.

Hello,

We can assure you that these restrictions are not a marketing strategy to offer our dedicated solutions, we have implemented technology CloudLinux to protect each of our customers from problems that another site on the server may cause.

Our semi-dedicated solutions are limited to 80% for one core and 1GB ram. This way, we can accommodate up to 8 clients per server and we are confident that no overselling is done on our servers.

In the case of vaguntrader, the site requires much more resources, we had to increase its resources and increase to 2 cores which mean that on this server does not host more than seven semi-dedicated customers.

We are not here to make more money, we charge almost never to make change on service to our customers and we always do our best to satisfy our customers.

The satisfaction of our customers is a priority, we apologize for customers who have had this problem of limited reach but know that without this system, we can not guarantee the same quality of service that you have right now!

I'll have to say that these problems were responded to quickly and were dealt with quickly, and I was kept up to date as the problems were being addressed.........thanks !!
