January 15th, 2008 by admin | No Comments »Hello everyone,
www.godsandgoddesses.org is ready for some major testing. Template is not quite finished. It has been a blast to get this one going. Upload your video soon and let’s see how this application works.
I have this on a VPS from RackForce.com. So far there has been no issues with this.Â
Cyber Milieu will set up a VPS for you for this if you want your own VPS to run a video sharing site. Of course there will be a fee for this. If you want us to look after this then we can do that for you also.
Contact us at http://www.cybermilieu.com/contact.php and we will work on this with you.
Enjoy ! and Cheers !

| Points to Consider When Choosing a Data Center For Your Business | ||
|---|---|---|
| Â | ||
| Virtualization | Â | Virtual servers are often more powerful and they do not limit your scalability. Virtual servers offer you a way to minimize your costs while maximizing your flexibility. Does your data center provider offer virtual technology and what is their expertise in it? |
| Backup | Â | Does your business depend on having your data backed up? Most hosts do not have a backup strategy yet online companies are completely dependent on their e-commerce data for their survival. Does your host have a backup strategy? If they do do you have any control over it? Is it an Enterprise class system? How important is the ability to restore individual files to you? Is the ability to have a dozen or more different copies of the same file important to you so that you can restore from a specific point in time instead of being forced to restore from just one point? |
| Bandwidth |  | Does your host guarantee you will be able to do a specific amount of data transfer per month (bandwidth) or do they just throw a high number at you and tell you if you go over that you’ll get charged extra? If the latter then you are definitely on a shared and over subscribed connection and your chances of doing that 1000GB or 2000GB per month are really quite slim, but it sure looks good in the ads doesn’t it? Make certain, wherever possible, your host offers you a dedicated rate of connection, such as 10Mbps. When your connection rate is guaranteed you always know what you can rely on. |
| 24×7 Support |  | Who does support for your host? Do they outsource their support to someone not on site? Do they own their own facilities and thus can lay hands directly on the hardware if needed? How knowledgeable are the support staff? Can you reach them by phone if necessary? How long is the average response time to a trouble ticket? |
| Server Quality |  | Old servers are risky. What brand names do they have? Are they real servers or desktop computers re-purposed as a server (if it wasn’t designed as a server it shouldn’t be used as one - server usage puts more strain on the hardware than desktop usage does?) Is the hardware technology old (P4, Celeron etc?) Do the servers have hot swappable hard drives? Are they using unreliable software RAID instead of hardware RAID? How long has the hardware been in use? |
| Data Center Management Systems | Â | How do they manage so many variables |
| Future Upgrade and Migration Paths | Â | When you get bigger what do they offer? Can you be easily moved to bigger and better hardware requirements? Can your data center take you to where you need to go? Do they offer multiple server clusters with load balancing for example? |
| Emergency Growth Plan | Â | What if you need to grow right now? What can they do for you? Do they have a set of plans in place that allow you to move, with ease and minimal downtime, from the smallest VPS to the largest Dedicated Server? |
| Green |  | It is becoming ever more necessary for businesses to show that not only are they green but that their suppliers, such as data centers, are also greenâ€. How Green is your data center provider? Where do they get their power from? Is it from Hydro-electric which is green or is it from coal fired plants? Do they invest in power saving technology? Are they promoting server virtualization which is very green as it it fully utilizes the servers resources? |
| Sales Staff |  | Are there any? Do they know what they are talking about? If they don’t know something do they offer to find out for you or do they just tell you what they think you want to hear? |
