I believe this should place at Internet/Network... section, but i would appreciate if anyone here can really help on this case too, thanks a lot.
My team is going to transfer our company web server service from Malaysia to Singapore soon. And i'm going to select from a list of local web hosting companies in Singapore. But i would like to hear from all of your great suggestion and comment on how can i actually select a good web hosting company ? I would appreciate if you can help to provide the following suggestion in order to help me to choose a better web hosting company.
Background :
Some web based reporting tools with MS SQL 2003 Std Edition running on Windows 2003 server. Current web hosting company has 24/7 support with 99.95% network uptime. And they also provide a backup every 2days for the DB.
Concern :
1.) I would like to upgrade to Windows to 2008 server R2 and MS SQL 2008 R2 Std Edition.
1.1) Choosing MS SQL 2008 R2 Std Edition in the plan cost very high (if talking about per processor license), so i decided to go for a purchase a real MS SQL 2008 R2 Std Edition, any comment ?
1.2) I read about the pricing and license types via Microsoft for MS SQL 2008 R2 Std Edition but still don't really understand, would someone please help to explain which license type suite my case here ?
2.) Because our service connected globally and at least 5K users may be connecting to this web server to create, modify or delete records in the MS SQL DB, would the connection speed of 2Mp (dedicated) enough on this case ?
2.1) And can anyone suggest the most suitable CPU/RAM in order to manage these users request/action ?
3.) May i know what is the different between network uptime and server uptime ? Are the different thing ?
4.) I was told that for a web hosting network architecture should better be "Ring" topology, and that the hops between internet ISP/internet exchange should be keep as small as possible, someone please help to explain this ? How about the distance of the between the internet exchange/internet ISP hops ?
* As for number 4 above, i'm not sure if i have put them correctly, please correct me if i'm wrong, thanks a lot
** i tried www.robtex.com to get the hops betweeen internet ISP to the web hosting company
5.) Any other useful web base tools/resources that can help me to test on the web hosting company's speed and stability and performance ?
Summary :
In summary, please help to suggest what is/are the basic component(s)/feature(s) that i should consider in order to select a good web hosting company and what is/are the important thing(s) that i need to take into consideration to choose a good web hosting company, thank you.
