Okay, I've talked with a few other Cen-Cal members about some ideas I've been toying with and some code I've been testing. I'd really like to blow the site up and get into articles and news, and possibly an online store through our local sponsors. I've been testing on our current server but running this site and the test setup is pretty much overloading it, lol. It's only because of the multiple databases everything is tied to that is causing high server load. I'd recommend on the new setup getting a new server. Would like to start hosting videos and uploading live streams to the site for friday night test and tunes, events, etc. so storage will be an issue as to where it isn't currently so... Here's a rough breakdown.
Intel Quad core
4GB memory (would recommend for $100 more)
1TB hard drive
That should be able to take us quite a ways for $625. $725 with 8 gigs of memory. This would give me an opportunity to actively work on the new server without affecting our current site and database. I will then have to down the old server, back up the database and import all users/information onto the new server. If there is a failure or problem, at least we will have the "old" server to run as backup while I work on the "new" one. What do you guys think, can we raise that kind of $?
Shoot me some ideas!
Tony
