Hosting and Servers

There are 2 ways in which you can host a site... 1. You can get a server of your own from any ISP. Advantage ==> one time investment Disadvantage ==> maintaining the server is tiresome. 2. You can get the help of sites like godaddy or hostgator. They provide space in their servers for your site to run. You will be given a username and password to fully control what you are going to do. Advantage ==> You don't have to maintain anything other than your site. Disdvantage ==> they usually have yearly payment schemes.

[UPDATE] I still haven't figured out how to use domain permissions for the Application Pool using the ISS AppPool assigned to the Application Pool on a web server that is a domain member. I've come to the conclusion that if your web server is a domain member, your probably only running one website, so you can just make a machine account for it, and assign it to the App Pool and then the folder. If your hosting websites, then running the web server as a work group member is the way to go. I'm not going to make hundreds of special accounts for the app pool now. So what about the SQL Server, make it a domain member or a work group member. Now I ponder that question, but I made it domain member using SQL credentials. Now I have the 3 virtual machines running on the hyper visor, normally I would dedicate a physical server to database programs, and separate the 2, but I'm thinking that the 2 virtual machines constitute separation. Well no awnsers here at the moment, still waiting for an expert to comment on it. [Comment] I did figure out how to setup the web server to run on a hypervisor server core, and the virtual machines are cores as well. Uses much less memory now, I think I bought way too much RAM now. One thing funny is that I run FFMpeg and had to adjust the core to minimum GUI so I can get the shell and scrape it for data. Didn't think of that when I set the server up.

A very simple approach is to look at the network tab in Task Manager (make sure that it shows bytes sent/bytes received). That will give you some hints on the amount of data transported over the network for your page, and consequently you can calculate the required speeds for desired loading times. Note: many internet lines are not symmetric - upload speed is just a fraction (often less than 10%) of download speed. The office with the server needs the high upload line. And also think about reducing the amount of data to be sent - do you need background images, background music, high-resolution bitmap images,...

Yes, they can.  Any device with a web browser should be able to access your website.  However, a website designed for viewing in a 1024x768 laptop screen will probably not be easily viewed in a device with a much smaller screen.  For this reason, you should design a mobile version of your site targeted to those users.

Could you please explain about issue in detail...?

Ok Eddy. Now I understand what you mean. Thanks!

Change the network of the virtual machine to your "normal" network (that's what we usually do with our VMWare virtual machines). This solution require each VM have static IP and I am limited to only 5 static IPs. I am going to have 20 Virtual Machine on my dedicated server. I can't afford each unique static ip assign to each vm. This is wrong way of doing it. Are there any way to use static ip of main server to port remote desktop to HyperV VM seprately, rather than assign each static ip to each VM?

Yes, I was afraid that might be the case. Given that it's pretty much a standard that mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com be the same site, you'd think this would be a standard too for SSL certificates. Sigh. Thanks anyway for your help.

Yeah, Ok. Tolstoy or Pasternak. Choose 'yer poison ...

I solved the problem. I need to create an extra GPO, which overrules the "Default Domain Controllers Policy" - and add the SuperUsers group to the "Allow log on locally" property in Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies/User Rights Assignment. Now a normal Domain User can be delegated to job of unlocking users on the domain controller using Remote Desktop.
