I’m going to get myself a 2nd server for my site only dedicated to downloads, the issue I’m having is what kind of spec does a server dedicated to downloads need?

I know that I need the space so 400GB is good enough but is RAM, Processing power important when it comes to downloading? Do I need a lot of ram and processing power, our is that just a waste of money.

Kind regards,

clem

CPU and ram aren't very important here.... just a good connection and a lighttpd would be best.

Do you need a web hosting company that provides unlimited bandwidth?

No companies offer truly "unlimited" bandwidth - it simply doesn't exist. It's overselling. On dedicated servers, some hosting companies offer unmetered bandwidth - i.e. there is no actual limit, but of course this is really overselling too. They cannot actually offer unlimited anything, as there is a limit to everything in business

And in life in general. Imagination has no known limits though, as any psychiatrist can attest.

Hello. I suggest you have a look at a companies with budget solutions which can offer you custom server just according your needs. I can suggest you have a lok at some experienced:
ServerPoint.com
3fn.com
HQHost.net
They are in business more than 5 years and they are the best in server managment.

You've been link dropping in a lot of threads. That is against the forum rules.

You shouldnt need a high spec server for downloads, but if you expect there to be a lot of downloads you might want to get a 10mbit line.

basically you want a large space/bandwidth combination. really its not actually going to be working anythign out, just simple http/ftp

So you could get big hdd large bwidth and a crappy little processor and 128 ram

The priority for the download server is the 100MBps connection, RAM is also important. How many people do you plan to have on the site at the same time?
Check the following dedicated server providers aplus.net , a2hosting.com , valueweb.com.
