The switch to a dedicated server will certainly be determined by the resources consumed by your Drupal portal versus what the server can handle and not by the hits/visits. Although the two are correlated to an extent on most configurations I have worked on (more visits results in more consumed resources).

Server resources are CPU, memory, hard drive space, and bandwidth (traffic). The 200kb you mentioned relates more to bandwidth. The ones that shared providers penalize the most on are CPU and memory usage. A Drupal portal will consume a considerable amount of those two especially if you use a lot of the Drupal plugins/features.

For example, if your web hosting account consumes most resources for extended periods of time by using up a large amount of memory or peg the CPU, the provider (Hostgator in this case) will most likely suspend your account.

How do you keep track of resources that your account consumed? This is unfortunately not possible with a shared account. Shared accounts don't provide the tools necessary for you to "gauge" for resources usage. Good providers will warn you before suspending your account but don't count on that. Be on top of it. Keep historical data of visits per day and per month, etc. If you notice drastic increases in visits (20% month over month), start planning for an upgrade.

By the way, my name is Joe and I help run a fully managed dedicated server company that goes by the name UNIXy. I'll be glad to answer any question you have. Let me know if you need a hand as well. My email is joe@unixy.net.

A dedicated server patch is a patch for dedicated server. While a client patch will fix known issues on the player's computer a server patch will fix any issues or add new features on the back end of the game.

Hi,

When you purchase a dedicated server, you essentially rent it from a server provider online. You never get to see the server physically because it's located in a remote data center facility. The data center facility is usually a large concrete enforced building with security officers, diesel generators, electrical equipment, and an elevated floor where the customer equipment sits.

Once you sign up for the dedicated server, you will be given a login name and password to login into the server and install the software that you need.

By the way, my name is Joe and I help run a dedicated server business (see the source box if you're interested). I hope my answer is helpful.

I agree with David except he left out one thing, which is speed. If your server resides in your building, you're going to be able to access it at the speed of your local network, often 100Mb or even 1Gb/s. If the server is hosted remotely, you access the files over the internet. a typical broadband internet connection is perhaps 1-5Mb/s. So in the best case scenario access to the hosted server is going to be 1/20th as fast as access to the local server.

If you're only storing and retrieving very small files and you need to do it from many remote locations, hosted is a good option. If you're mostly working from one location and use the server any more than a little bit, a local server is your best bet.

Hope this helps, and feel free to check out http://www.inovagent.com/file_servers for more information on local file servers.
