We were just discussing the hosting and migration with
Stephen, we are
moving to a cPanel system, what platform are you on? This would be
necessary info for migration.
I am hosting on a bunch of servers running the LAMP stack (Linux MySQL
Apache PHP).
Currently I am moving the services from a cluster of six servers each
hosting individual services to a new cluster with brand new hardware
running all services in single virtual machines which are duplicated
over the cluster, so loadbalancing can be done among the machines
running in parallel. It also makes management easier as all virtual
machines have the exact same setup holding all services we provide. The
management by the customer is done through the webinterface which we are
currently redesigning to fit together with the new setup.
This is talking about the webhosting cluster though, where
wikimedia.or.ke resides currently.
My main business is hosting individual platforms for customers, such as
Wikimedia Austria which recently ordered their own, individual server
from me. This will be an individual server (own hardware) with a LAMP
stack on it hosted in my datacenter and managemed by me. The costs are
100 EUR / month (~11.000 KES) inlcuding everything (rented hardware,
power, bandwidth, hard- and software management).
Regards,
Manuel
