The Facts About Hosted Virtual Dedicated Servers
Server prices may be dropping, but the purchase price is just a small part of the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Server budgets expand rapidly once you factor in the cost of maintenance, as well as cabling, cards, rack space, adapters, switches, operating systems and other software licensing costs. Additionally, each new deployed server decreases server room cooling efficiency, which runs the electricity bill up another notch.
On top of the hardware costs, there’s the cost of hiring and training staff to operate and maintain the servers. The costs and complexity of managing a server are often beyond the financial and technical abilities of smaller companies which often do not have in-house I.T. staff.
Economies of scale, which generally dictate that costs drop as the purchase quantity of a particular product increases, do not work in the server world.
And all of that is what is making virtual dedicated servers so attractive.
You are probably becoming familiar with the concept of a virtual server. Many organizations are beginning to deploy products like VMware Infrastructure to create multiple virtual servers inside of one physical server. But the concept of a hosted virtual dedicated server is relatively new.
Essentially, you are renting resources on a remotely-hosted server. However, unlike the typical shared-server environment, such as a web server, you’re not sharing any of the server’s operating system with other users.
Virtual dedicated servers, for all intents and purposes, function exactly as if your applications were running on a dedicated box. The server hosting company deploys a VMware Infrastructure, partitioning physical servers into multiple virtual machines. Each machine functions exactly as if it were a single server. It has its own instances of the operating system, application software, virtual processors, virtual memory, networking, storage devices and even its own virtual BIOS.
In fact, the only real difference between using a virtual dedicated server and your own dedicated server, is a reduction in TOC that is difficult to realize using other solutions.
The cost savings begin not having to make capital expenditures to acquire the server. Costs are spread out monthly and are not carried on the organization’s balance sheet. That fact may not impress the I.T. folks, but it will get the CFO’s attention.
But the real cost-savings come into play when you start looking at what else you don’t have to buy. Most popular operating system software is included, so there goes the licensing fees. Most common server application software, such as Exchange Server, can also be included, which further reduces costs.
So for short money, you can deploy a hefty server, configured to your exact specifications, with a minimum amount of ramp-up time.
Ongoing benefits include the fact that the server hosting company takes care of maintenance and support, so replacement part costs disappear was well.
There’s really no downside, and you can look good to all those people with “C’s” in their title. Find out more about virtual hosted dedicated server technology at InfinityVirtual.com.

Usually its a misunderstanding about the address of the server machine. You probably are not on a dedicated IP. That means that there is an IP address for your machine that only works on the lan (others on your home network) and another IP which is the lans address to the internet.
Try going to this site.
http://whatismyip.com/
Right at the top of the page it will tell you the IP that is sees you coming from. That is the address that the people on the internet have to use to reach you.
Dedicated servers are ones that are run on a computer, but the person running them can't be on that game. You can make a lan and a regular server and play on them but dedicated servers you can't make and join, but dedicated servers are much more stable and a bit faster

You will be given root access to the server and you can upload your applications to your server. A dedicated server account usually allows you more bandwidth and CPU usage than a shared hosting account. You will not have the same restriction like when you are on shared server.
If you need a recommendation for a dedicated hosting that does not suck, try http://hostingsthatsuck.com/serverpronto-sucks/

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.

do i have to turn of the firewall?
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.
Been working on this all day today and all day yesterday and finally got it working. There’s more involved than what is stated in this video.
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.

It’s in server.cfg
hey…..do you know how to change name on the server?
Game servers come in two types:
1. Listen Server – This is when you play the game *and* you're the server at the same time, a listen server is basically when the program runs both the server and one client simultaneously.
2. Dedicated Server – All the program is doing is running the game, you can't actually play on a dedicated server unless you launch the program again and connect to it like everyone else would have to.
In Never WInter Nights, you'd only want a dedicated server if you wanted people to be able to play on your server when you're not there. You'd have to run the server yourself, so you'd be responsible for making sure it was running the right maps, the right mods etc…
