hello,

im running Apache webserver and i was wondering if the bandwidth depends on my harddrive or on something else?


greetz,
Freeman :D

No, it depends on your internet connection, and how much of it you use.

exactly ... depend on your internet ISP ... nothing to do with your harddrive :D

oh
well im using 64kb/s xDSL

laugh if you want, cuz i am! :D :D :D

greetz,
Freeman :D

umm, whats so funny about it? :-s

cuz it never gains 64kb/s, the speed is bogus, i dunno why they said it's 64kb/s
it would be greate if it gained at least 15kb/s :rolleyes:

greetz,
Freeman :D

yeah , nothing funny about it ...

Some people use 56.6k ... and you use 64kb .. so that's faster isn't it ?

same with 56k, just becuase its 56k doesnt mean it can download that fast. It uses most of the bandwidth up holding a secure connection, and you get whats left, which for 56k uses is normally around 4 - 5k

not really 4-5k , that's too slow

hehe,
4-6 :D

Freeman :D

4 to 6 then although it is possible to gain speeds of 10kb/s but these arent common

depending on your needs a normal (128-512) ADSL connection can actually carry you far.

ADSL Where have I heard of that before
whee can you get them from?

I have been hosting websites for years on a linux server in my home on cable connections. I usually have a 128K up and 768k down speed. I actually find that my server has a harder time handling the requests than my connection.

My point is don't underestimate the importance of having a server with decent speed as well if you are going to host sites and ESPECIALLY SITES that run scripts. That takes processing power and ram.
