Although most of the resources will be taken by Mahmood’s Den, it will also house my company sites and my email, so it’s worth it! I tell you what though, I have not been let down by their technical support once in the last three years and that’s peace of mind that you can pay major bucks for with a smile!

Good Lord! You’re getting a Managed Server from Rackspace? Man, you take your blogging a little too seriously.

My present computer is a Sony Vaio VGC-RC210G with 4Gig fo RAM. Lo! I almost bought an Apple G-5 Quad, the operating system of which is a coveted OS-10, because I want the VERY BEST there is. Unfortunately, I also wanted some kick-assed software and the cheap bootleg versions were only available on a Windows PC…I only have sooo much money and, alas, I am not TOTALLY honest.

In any case, if anyone wants to attempt to hack me, I don’t care. I just hope that Mahmood gets HIS system right, whatever that takes, and continues to operate a WORLD CLASS blog.

Thanks ya’ll.

Yousif it’s an AMD 64bit server, 80GB drive, 1GB ram, 100Mb ethernet connection to the internet, Red Hat ES4, 100GB per month transfer.

As for the stats, the last time I looked it was between 3 – 4 million hits, 1.2 million page views a month, and about 6000 sessions a day.

The server has been built and put online today, so I’ll start migrating data and configuring various things starting tomorrow if I have time.

i know this is a weird question to ask but out of curiosity, what are the new server’s specs and how many hits are you getting a day? I want to learn from your experience if i ever get into the need for a more powerful server.

Anon, short answer: NO. The power switch with them is far too easily thrown.

Angelo, I wish PayPal would work here as that would have solved a lot of problems. I’ll think about it though.

aren’t most of the ISPs here in bahrain using batelco’s lines/servers anyways? more like resellers…and the others out here are practically resellers as well… i think rackspace was a good choice! maybe we can all shell some $$$ for bahrainblogs.org? Mahmood what do you think? it’s a blogger community service anyways – could we pool it?

ever thought of hosting in Bahrain?? Forget Batelco.. there are others coming out with hosting/security/internet services .. it would surely enhance the viewing and speed of the site for Bahrainis and other GCC countries if it were hosted here.. dont you think? would you consider?
