I'm not a server expert......one thing I've seen mentioned several times is server optimization.
I'd very much like to see a guide or some tutorials on how to optimize a server for PHPCOW. There is nothing posted anywhere on any special setups or configurations.
I know phpcowfreaks is a server specialist, maybe he could contribute something to this, and between all of us we could put together something that will help people get installed, setup, and running smoothly.
So what exactly is the issue with server optimizing? I know a friend who knows alot about this stuff too that maybe he'd come give us some ideas.....maybe
Well, phpcow freaks was pointing out stuff, and talking about how most issues are because the servers are not optimized for PHPCOW....but can't elaborate because thats his business (which is understandable)....but I think PHPCOW can/should be telling us what kinds of things we need to do to make our sites run as smoothly as possible.
Well honestly there's no server admin who can honestly say that they are experts. No one is. I guess the best bet is going for fully managed servers. Yes it could apparently look expensive but at the end of year in overall scenario it works out too cheap (considering the "Expensive" man-hours one has to spend trying to figure out things).
If servers are never rebooted for 400+ days you can estimate how many tickets clients had to open for server support issues during those 400 days -- NILL. Believe me a 930D/2GB RAM/ cPanel server can easily do 300GB/Mo of PHPCow based site without showing signs of slowing down.
You can discuss your requirements over AIM if you feel like. I may necessarily not be there.
Does anyone in here have their hosting through phpcow? I honestly never looked into what comes with it, I assume the price changes for different bandwidth limits etc, but are theirs optimized enough for the site?

Now there's a thought, I should launch a forum for phpcow hosting!!!
If they can't support their main product well enough I would not take a chance on all my sites going down for 3 days while waiting for server support. LOL 
I get your point, but I honestly have never heard anyone talk about their hosting at all, good or bad. I was just curious.
Kaos,

It looks like they have 33 phpcow sites on their server, the ones I looked at had the phpcow logo at the bottom of the sites. So these sites are probably on the $15 per month phpcow hosted plan. I think that's really what they are specializing in anyway, just hosting for cows.

They have two different NS's used and here are the details on each (the data is not truly representative as it doesn't count any ccTLD's just com/net/org/biz). Hosted is where no license is available for downloads.
http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/repo...OSTING.COM
http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/repo...HOSTED.COM
So per this count they have around 78+ sites hosted on their network presuming all PHP ( for http://phpcowhosted.com and http://phpcowhosting.com ) Cow. Dedicated server clients wouldn't be using any of these as they must e using their own NS.
^Wow, I really would have thought alot more people would have taken the hosting with th script, but apparently I was wrong.
