Title: Site moving
Post by: GonoszTopi on January 27, 2012, 10:21:10 AM: Hello everyone!

We've just decided to move from our current server hosting, it's just too expensive. We're looking for cheap (or free) solutions to move everything (or most of the things) from the current server.

This is the point where we need your knowledge. We need ideas, from which we can choose the best. We're open to suggestions on either server-hosting or site-hosting.

The minimum requirements for a site-hosting are to be able to host the forum, the wiki and the Subversion source code repository. Good to have features: ssh access, backups, mail forwarding.

Looking forward to your ideas,
the aMule Team

Post by: myth on January 28, 2012, 12:45:24 PM: Maybe we could just split forums and source code...

Maybe separated they are available totally free.

Or what's about sourceforge? I think we can host a forum there as well!

Post by: Stu Redman on January 30, 2012, 10:00:10 PM: Fabio, I don't think any of these allows creation of a forum like this, let alone moving the existing data. Same problem with the wiki.

That may be a solution.

I've been considering that, too. SVN, bug tracker and wiki are OK. Forum is a problem, they have only another forum solution. But maybe with separating the forum from the other parts, we can do it for free.

At peak usage, what is the site/forum/page CPU & RAM usage?
What is the monthly traffic?

Post by: myth on February 02, 2012, 09:25:34 PM: Well, a forum could be hosted on a free hoster like 000webhost as well!

Post by: zaphodiv on February 10, 2012, 09:26:53 AM: Peak RAM+swap usage is the main thing.

There are loads of cheap virtual servers based on openVZ. Unmetered traffic so that dosn't matter.

The problem with an openVZ VPS is that you can't have your own swap file, swap is shared by all the virtual machines.
Software tends not to handle "sorry no more RAM available for you" well so as soon as you use all the RAM somthing falls over.

Santrex.net has some VPS packages (http://www.santrex.net/vps-hosting.php) that might be suitable.
512MB(burstable to 1GB), 45GB of diskspace, unmetered traffic for $9 a month. Should be just enough for apache+SMF.

They have zen VPS as well.

Post by: iamlixiao on February 19, 2012, 03:31:30 PM: Hi,

I happen to know a few web hosting services, may be useful to you:

http://www.zymic.com/ (http://www.zymic.com/) --this one is free and quite stable, with PHP and mySQL, but the bandwidth may be not enough for a public site.

http://www.host1plus.com (http://www.host1plus.com) --its web hosting service is among the cheapest and largest, but I haven't tried it myself.

http://www.host1free.com (http://www.host1free.com) --the free edition of host1plus, a bit unstable, but status unknown,I guess it's currently blocked by my ISP(China Unicom).

http://0fees.net/ (http://0fees.net/) --really small but also free of charge and ad-free, may be kind of useful.

And there's http://db4free.net/ (http://db4free.net/) for mySQL hosting only, useful when a website provides PHP without database.

I think SourceForge is slow and limited, but can be a free solution.

Sorry for my poor English.
