I currently have the following server running:


Manufacturer Type
Intel 2.8 GHz
Seagate 80GB:IDE:7200RPM Barracuda
Generic 512 MB
Generic 512 MB
Generic 512 MB
Generic 512 MB
Unknown Onboard
Dell Dell 400SC


Type Vendor Name Version
Unknown Urchin Urchin 5
Unknown <hosting co.> DiskSync 5.0
Os Redhat Enterprise Linux - OS ES 3.0
ControlPanel SWsoft Plesk - Linux - 100 Domain 7.5


PHP 4.3.2
GD bundled (2.0.12 compatible)
MySQL server 3.23.58
MySQL client 3.23.58
Web server Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)

I run an eccommerce website, on the x-cart platform, which is obviously database driven, and am experiencing issues with timeouts, freezing and crashing. I'm sure i'm loosing a lot of custom too this, and the website is running far too slow. The components on the server are too old to easily upgrade, so I think it will be better to move to a new server. It's a dedicated server but I've had it for a number of years now.

Can I please have some advise over what server to run? Thanks in advance for your time with this. It's a great forum for those that have a little knowledge but not enough!
