Hmm, this one looks promising, especially the Athlon packages.

The ipowerweb.com ones you'd be best paying Quarterly for as theres a massive discount.

Yeah the CPanel would not give me a non-profit licence, I have ads from 4 different places!!

About ipowerweb it seems very good, the middle AMD package is promising. But I can't understand what kind of support they offer so I send them an email.

OK, I signed up for an account in SeverPronto.

You have 4-5 days of sleep before my wire arrives because I am going to need HELP! Let's hope I could install most of them myself!

From a previous post of mine;

If you go for ServerPronto make sure you dont have any problems. You need to pay for reboots, help tickets and other things. Id stay well clear of them.


Good Luck.

well u don't have to pay if u do the reboots urself :P

and any OS that they offer can be booted into full server mode without a touch, so he should have no problem as long as he has admin/root access [win/lin]

Yeah I think that when they talk about reboots they mean cold reboots. Anyway, we will know pretty soon!

When they talk about reboots. they refer to when you mess something up and they need to get involved. IE, the classic example is forgotten root pass, or messed up /etc/rc.conf in a freebsd environment.

Of course if you totally lock the terminal up or kill SSHd thats the same again.

One comes to think that a highly scripted cron job can take care of all that

Take care of what? User error in /etc/rc.conf couldnt imo be rectified by a cronjob.... I guess you could have a cron to set the root pass as "something" on x time x day etc.

ahhh yea ... I see what you mean. I would imagine though it would be kind of mad if someone killed off sshd :x

If i can corrupt my registry, and lose 28 gigs of data in under 2 minutes, killing ssh is nothing :P

thing is, i can do a hard-reboot for free, but it would cost afonic money.

thus sshd [being the *main* interface to that system] MUST ALWAYS be up.

or script cron to start telnetd when sshd goes off if it can't pull sshd back up, that kinda stuff..

Actually I have 3 free reboots, so I think that I must very unlucky for sshd to go off more than 3 times per month.
The only problem I have is that my connection (ISDN) is a little problematic, so I may have some troubles.

Actually can you make a list of what I should install?
I need Apache, MySQL, PHP (I know how to install these).
What about mail and FTP?

Look I am willing to read and "spend" one month for learning before I move my website!

So any info and pages that I can find help would be great!

hmmm i don't know of any "how to start your own web server box" tutorials anywhere, but just install whatever it is that you need [ftp,mail,mysql,php,apache,pop3,smtp,imap, etc'] and configure them all to work.

after that come the optimizations.

and if you really have some cojones - a kernel upgrade. [unless they already gave u a 2.6 installation, that case ignore me]

ServerPronto is a good choise
You have a long way to go. . . :D
keep in mind to meet with some server admins in person.
That will help you a lot.
Don't worry to screw things up, its a must :)
