home server question

[Angelos_n]

Hey all,

pretty much am looking to send my home server to a DC because i want to host a site on it, your probably thinking paying £50+ a month just to run a website is overkill but i have a good few reasons but thats not my question

would you say a P4 6series 3.0GHz with HT and 512mb of DDR2 ram ok to run 1 website with a fair amount of visitors? its not particullarly heavy website but will use 1 maybe 2 sql databases for client area's. if your wondering how many visitors maybe 1000 a day tops

thanks again

well as i said in the orginal post the server is going to a DC so will have UPS with 3TB b/w a month, connected at 100mb so b/w and power shouldnt be a problem. also i get a nice SLA so all is good there, pretty much its for a new company my self and my father are starting, so just wanted to make sure that even with the fairly older machine specs the site should run fine, it will literally be the only thing on there.

yeh sorry bout that i did mean data centre, hehe. ermm in regards to backups as its only a website ill be taking weekly backups to my home server. the only thing i was worried about was the ram/cpu, its got a WD raptor in there aswell so i might aswell get 2-4gb ram for it, its only 1 site right
