Celeron 450 webserver

well, what OS are you using, what webserver software are you using, and most importantly how much traffic/load do you expect to handle .. the answer could vary from "more than enough" to " there is no way the celery could handle it" =) .. so post some more info and maybe we can give you a more accurate answer ..

it really depends how much traffic the site gets..
i would probably use a different OS though, Win98 is not the best OS for being up for months..
 
Perfect oppurtunity to learn some linux or BSD. Win98 is not going to be a good webserver. I have a celeron 333 running debian and it's a fine webserver, I have like, no load (no visitors) so it's purely okay. 🙂 Here.. you can see it here.
 
Getting rid of Win9x is your first step towards a webserver, Win2K Server is OK for the job, *NIX is even better 🙂
 
a great package to install to set up an instant sever with apache based on RH 7.2,
look at Clark Connect Gateway 0.9.1

 
Basically, hardware wise, the server will be ok until the load is too much for it to handle.

OS wise, with 98 you are limited to shorter uptimes than most OSs, which is an important factor for a machine that wants to be on 24/7 🙂
 
Uptime is the time the computer stays up, that is, doesnt crash 🙂

And 24/7 means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
 
Ah, sorry cybertcc

Yes, Sunner is right. I was assuming that because you want a website to be accesible all the time, that 24/7 uptime would be required 🙂
 
Heh yeah assuming that you want the web server on all the time, using Win98
is a bad idea. As Sunner said, Win2K is better because it doesn't need to be
rebooted every day like 98 does.
 


<< Win2K is better because it doesn't need to be rebooted every day like 98 does. >>



Why win98 needs to reboot every day? What do you mean?
 
win98 is about as stable as a turd. (i.e. NOT)

your celeron will most likely be enough, you'd have to be getting some pretty heavy traffic to tax it....just put a decent amount of ram in and you'll be more than fine.

at least get winnt of some sort, linux or bsd or something would be even better.
 
Windows 9x does not have the features a webserver needs. There is no stability, memory management is horrible, and the FAT32 file system will crumble. On a machine like that, for a non-professional webserver, linux or a BSD would be the perfect choice. No need to pirate anything, no need for expensive licenses, and you have a proven system (with over 20 years of history 😀). It may take a little longer to learn, but it looks good on a resume. 😉
 
Rumor says when many people visiting my site at the same time, I need more RAM to handle it. Is it true? But my site is not big, do I really need that much RAM?

Unless you are doing some database stuff, dont worry about cpu. It wont be the problem. Ram on the other hand is great. Each of the httpds will be running in ram, not to mention the OS, and some of the data on your site. You can never have enough ram.

What is httpds? >>



http is the web server protocol. httpd is http daemon. Its the web server process.
