For the geeks among you... 44.2Gb in 26 days

[Joe West]

Hi Gang,

For those of you who are interested in such things... this site transferred 44.2Gb of data over the internet in the past 26 days.

I'm trying to monitor this to see if it would be more cost effective to have the site hosted by a professional service. While I'm not particularly inclined to let someone else control our server... I would like to know whether or not hosting the site myself is really cost effective.

Anyway... just a tidbit of information for the geeks among you (of which I count myself as one)

No it's all the post whoring:D

Yeah, and you're probably 40 Gb of that. :D


On a side note. Hey Joe, I noticed the other day we have like 1700 or so registered users. You thought about cleaning house again on anyone not having signed on for 6 mos or a year? I think it's always nice to see how many people we have that actually sign on and either read or post.

Hey Joe,

Are you able to tell the basic who, what, where? That's a ton of info. Is it members, guests blah blah blah.\\

Just curious.

Hey Joe....that's great! Pretty darn good for an area forum, so to speak.

I moved my site today to a new hosting company. I was having issues with my previous hosts....mainly that Moe, Larry, and Curly couldn't get things to work properly. :rolleyes:

24 days into this month, I pulled the plug on some of my content....I was at 92% of my monthly bandwidth....250GB. When I last looked at my stats yesterday, I was at 98%. :eek: I hate overage charges!

I now have a 1TB to play with every month. I'm hoping it will keep me good for a while. :D

Hi Jim,

I can tell which IP addresses obtain which information... but I don't bother looking at such things. I delete the logfiles periodically to save space.

Hi Stu,

If you host any videos... they certainly will consume bandwidth at an amazing rate. I don't host any videos, and I don't think I could if I wanted to given the connection speeds allocated by Cox. The good news is; I can use as much bandwidth as I want since my total bandwidth is not limited (well... except by (time * connection speed)).

What was the specific problem with your old hosting site?

I haven't checked for a few months... I'll do that now and see how many inactive users we have.

Yeah, and you're probably 40 Gb of that. :D

Only 6 users had not logged in for over a year and had not posted. I deleted all 6.

Not much change this go-around...

The funny thing about this is I've been at my datacenter all day working. I've been in the process of moving servers from my location in Mesa (where I have a DS3) to Sterling Network (http://sterlingnetwork.com/) Once I determine what I'm moving and what's staying I might be able to give you some rack space. To give you an idea of bandwidth, I downloaded a new ISO of Freebsd (that I had on one of my servers at a colo in California) and I got 2.89 MB/s download. That's megabyte, not megabit. Would be great for a high volume site (I currently have 3,621 connections according to my firewall....not bad for a Saturday afternoon).

I have the "old site" running on one of my servers but do to a bit of a disaster at the office (non systems related) the last 2 weeks the site is only about 85% running so we haven't moved dns. I unfortunately have a hard time dedicating time to it. This is why I'm not very quick to offer you some space because I'm leary at what MySQL optimization I might be facing (assuming we used my equipment). ....now if you had a 1u rack mount server....

Hi Mike
Do you have azvjc.org pointed to the old site yet? I have been checking but I been getting page not found. If you think it will be a few more weeks PM me I have been having to add users and look up user names for the old site because I have been holding off on working on the old code until you get the site running I am hoping that once the old site is running under azvjc.org some of the broken code will work again.
