I wanted to find out from someone how to measure the requirements needed for a website. I'm thinking about moving one my clients website in house. The site is currently very small with 3-6 static HTML pages with a option to download a 500K pdf catalog. This site is currently getting about 800 hit's per month.

What type of hardware and bandwidth would be required to host this site in house along with the existing Scalix Email server with 14 mailboxes


I would be running this with Apache on CENTOS 4.4, The website will be on the same box as the email server


Thanks

Tim

What exactly do you mean by "In House"?

I wouldn't recommend hosting a clients site at your house over DSL/cable modem. The ISP's probably forbid it and you would need a static IP or Dynamic DNS for your domain name. Also adding a few megabytes of content, along with your email service, could quickly max out your through-put

I wasn't talking about my house I was talking about in-house at the client's site, and they already have Static ipaddresses

Treedstang,

So what you are saying is that the client wants you to set up an apache server at his/her place of business, hosting his/her website. Does the client have a commercial WAN account? Who is going to oversee the "hardware" part of the server?

Unless the webhosting company is costing more then $150+ per year to host his site then it is not cost effective to move the web server "in house".

I oversee 3 websites and the per year cost to host each site is less then $100 per year per site. That includes domain name registration AND website hosting.

My hosting company is Godaddy.com

So for a site that is as small as the one you have described above it is just not worth it to move it "in house".
