I have a server that is sometimes sluggish. While I suspect the main problem is DNS and routing issues with my provider's infrastructure, in particular responding to DNS requests and routing, I am not sure. So here are some questions to the server experts on the team:
1. How do I identify the bottleneck in server performance? Is the problem with my networking card, CPU, memory, HD I/O, or the networking infrastructure outside the home. 2. Is there a tool for monitoring or testing load and performance without disabling or slowing down the server for long periods of time? I use Linux/Apache/PHP (no MySQL at this time, since I disabled WordPress due to all the fracking comment spam I was having to manually delete), but I am also interested in tools to do the same in Windows. 3. If I had to do one thing to improve my hardware, which should it be? RAID? SD drive? Faster CPU? 32 to 64 bus? More/Faster memory? Obviously cost is a consideration. 4. Is there any general advice on improving performance by removing background programs, etc.? Thanks, Z. -- Check out my web site - www.words2u.net
