Let's say I lease a dedicated server from some hosting company.? I use a software app like Virtuozzo or VMWare to create 4 Virtual Machines inside the server. I now have 4 virtual machines in the server, each with its own memory, OS, Windows. Would I be able to log into one of the VMs using remote software, and then - from that machine, browse the internet, go to other websites, download software, and basically do anything that I could do on a regular PC? Part of my trouble in understanding my own question, is that the leased dedicated server would probably not have a monitor attached to it, and I am used to using remote software that lets you see what is happening on the desktop of the computer being accessed. I am trying to figure out what I would see from my computer if I was connecting to one that did not have a monitor. Would I still be able to use my local mouse and keyboard in the environment of the remote server, and would I be able to do what ever I want to accomplish on the VM, despite it's status as a webhost server?

Shared host or dedicated server? Not sure which way to go. I am wanting to start up an information website that i am sure will get quite a bit of traffic. Just not sure weather to go shared host or dedicated server? From all my Research they both have good and bad points. Shared host- I am worried that my site may be blocked due to someone else i am sharing with say if they were selling pron or something? Slow page loading times? Do shared hosts get up in the top 10 for searches? But definitely the up side is it costs alot less. Dedicated server- Just costs so god damn much! Bt maybe its worth it? If i have faster page loading times etc then maybe id get even more traffic and cover alot of the costs through the money from the advertisements? I know i could go VPS but i just saw this as a mix of both, yes it costs less, but you are still sharing so I'm still worried about page loading times and the possibility of being blocked due to their content. My honest thought are if i am going to do it i may as well give my site its best possible Chance of succeeding. But maybe i don't need to go as far as the expense of a dedicated host? or do I ?? Any opinion or information would be help full. Thanks, Lisa

Game server hosting help? I have Star Wars Battlefront II on PC, and multiplayer is a lot of fun. Lately I've been trying to host a dedicated server with 32 people on it. But I only have a 384k DSL connection, and even if only a few people are on, they have high pings and tons of lag, making them hate the server and they'll never want to come back :( . I made it dedicated so that I wouldn't have to have Battlefront II running all the time (I'm using LucasArts's Server Manager). Yet, I can still join the game whenever I want. All I'm saying here is that I play Battlefront II on the same computer that I host the server on, which, yes, I know, is not the best option I suppose... But I don't have the luxuries of a thriving steady income. So, if I want to host 32 people, what kind of internet connection should I be looking into? What kind of connection is good enough so that the server won't hog bandwidth from the other computers my family uses? 512k? 1M? 3M? 6M? What other advice do you guys have for me? And I dunno, I have a feeling that I'm currently getting ripped off by my current provider ($29.95 for 384kbps). Thanks very much!

How can I shape server traffic on a "Maximum Trafic" model (dedicated hosting plan)? OK. I'm looking at purchasing a dedicated hosting plan with a local provider. This provider offers 2000GB traffic into and out of the server. What I want to do is shape traffic into the server based on how much traffic I have left. Example: I start off with a budget of 2000GB a month (66GB/day). This comes down to about 6Mb/s continual use. Of course, servers aren't continually used like this, so just "capping" bandwidth to 6Mb/s would waste bandwidth on spikes. After half a month has gone by, I've only used 500GB of my bandwidth, leaving 1500GB/Month, or 100GB a day. Traffic can now flow at 9Mb/s and I won't go over. I want a system that allows me to use as much traffic as my "budget" will currently allow. Extra points if I can "borrow" bandwidth from the future to help "pay" for spikes. I want "always on" while keeping under my bandwidth budget. Any ideas?

It's going to run linux, host a MYSQL database and time scheduling application that needs to be able to support at least 200-300 concurrent users.

Some one said to get two dedicated servers, but: 1. How we make it that when one is down, it automatically directed to the other. 2. Should they be from two different companies and to different countries? 3. The web site will be with CMS and DB, how do you make sure that the mirror server have all the new data that was updated in the 1st server’s DB, do they have like shared DB or something, and how.. P.S. We use PHP/ MySql technology. I'm not lazy, we've already been googling the net since we received they're requirements, but we only have 3 days max to post the proposal, so I really need all the help I can get..

Source dedicated server behind a router.? I have hosted a dedicated server by just connecting the internet directly to me (not trough a router) and it worked fine, now i cant do that anymore so im gonna have to try and get it to work through a router, so i have opened port 27015 (port source dedicated server uses) but the problem is when i start the server the ip displays as 192.168.1.*, now the problem with that is that nobody else can join since its my internal ip, does anyone know how to change that to my external ip?
