Would it be possible to order some sort of fully managed H-Sphere cluster?
Server 1: CP
Server 2: Web/DNS1
Server 3: Mail/DNS2/MySQL/PgSQL
Or just a 1 server configuration with H-Sphere and the both DNS’s installed as logical servers?
Yes, we can do that easily, we have one customer that does that now.
What would be a price for a 3 server config and for a 1 server config? Let’s say 3.0ghz P4 1gig RAM 80gig SATA
We have no p4’s right now, only single xeons and a dual Xeon.
I’m just asking for an estimate about such a cluster. Not thinking of buying thta right away!
Price will be - http://newservers.com/PSDedicatedSvr.htm . Managing appx. $ 220 per server per month.
ACtually we include the basic server management, but not full hsphere management.
You could most likley do much of it on your own with the great docs at psoft, and utilize their support as well.
By basic management you mean security, os updates and so on? As for H-Sphere management it’s basically control panel updates and such?
What are your toughts of running H-Sphere on a single server (no Windows of course)? How easy would it be to branch out later on?
It will branch out later on perfectly, just be sure that ns1,2, mysql, and web are all assigned different IP addresses so that an IP migration does not have to be done in the future. That being said, it is not a “simple” move, but it is very doable.
Edit: You can simply “add” a mysql,web,windows, or mail later on that will just be another server in the cluster, without migrating, and it works as well.
