Hello guys,


I need to buy a dedicated server but I don't know what to choose.
Can someone help me please?


Currently I have this one from OVH: (where I am not happy)

# of Threads: 4
16GB RAM
1Gbps
2T SATA3 + 2T SATA3
Price: 120€ (vat + cpanel included)


I need to decide between this 3 options:


OPTION 1
HP DL380pG8 (12xLFF)
2x Intel Octa-Core Xeon E5-2650
# of Cores: 8
# of Threads: 16
128GB DDR3
4x240GB SSD in RAID 10
100 TB Datatraffic included (uplink 1GE)
Price: 280€ (vat + cpanel excluded)


OPTION 2
HP DL380pG8 (12xLFF)
2x Intel Octa-Core Xeon E5-2650
# of Cores: 8
# of Threads: 16
64GB DDR3
4x240GB SSD in RAID 10
100 TB Datatraffic included (uplink 1GE)
Price: 230€ (vat + cpanel excluded)


OPTION 3
HP DL380eG8 (12xLFF)
2x Intel Hexa-Core Xeon E5-2420
# of Cores: 6
# of Threads: 12
64GB DDR3
4x240GB SSD in RAID 10
100 TB Datatraffic included (uplink 1GE)
Price: 250€ (vat + cpanel included)


OPTION 4
HP DL180G6
2x Intel Quad Core E5620
# of Cores: 4
# of Threads: 8
64GB DDR3
4x240GB SSD in RAID 10
100 TB Datatraffic included (uplink 1GE)
Price: 200€ (vat included but without cpanel)


What server do you think that is best for me?
most of it is to run forums and blogs... I don't want to change server so soon.


I think that option 3 have a good server with a good price too, what do you say? Is option 1 and 2 much better than option 3?


Thanks! :)

I think they all are heavy builds . Why don't you go with an Intel E3 Ivy Bridge/ Sandy Bridge processor . I think that would be the best in my opinion
 
Are you people going insane or something ??
She needs to run forums and blogs on it, and you are suggesting Hexa and Octa core systems :facepalm:

To run even 20 forums + blogs, you'll need a Quad Core CPU (E-3 or even past gen Xeons will do) + 4 gig Ram + 2 gig Swap + 1gbps (Premium Network for low latency) - 10 or 20TB BW

Even a system like that is overkill for forums / blogs when setup correctly.

Hi,
why do you need that much power for forums/blogs? Are you running heavy-load forums that are so much crowded with people?

I would go for 32GB ram max and CPU like e1245v3...

But anyway from your list i'd go for OPTION 2.

Click to expand...
I guess they all are HIGH
 
These are all pretty hefty servers. How many sites are you running? This setups all seem like overkill, it seems like a waste of $$$$ IMO.
