You might have noticed recently as website traffic increases, my website has been rather slow, especially for the homepage. So I did a little investigation and discovered my site was hosted with 60 plus other websites on the same server which doesn’t really help. After learning this, it wasn’t too hard to make the decision to go to my own dedicated server.
So I recently took delivery of a rack mounted IBM xSeries 345 Server which will eventually host my new version of my website which is being designed by Wiliam Web Design. The new website will be written in Microsoft .net to better cope with the high traffic volumes compared to the current build in PHP. The IBM xSeries 345 Server is a dual Intel XEON with over 200gb of hard disk drives, so plenty of room for streaming cooking videos.
For those who own a popular food blog or blog of some sorts, I would seriously recommend getting your own dedicated server, something like the IBM xSeries 345 Server. I found that IBM provided great support online with firmware updates, drivers and configuration tools.
