Dear Active Worlds World Owners,

Ry's World Hosting, which is still in the BETA Mode, requires three or four
Worlds to be hosted on our servers for about 3 days... This is to ensure our
servers and hardware is
running at it's full, before we publicly advertise a completed Hosting
service.

During this time, I will request that every day, you email me and tell me
how your world hosting is going... This means about two or three surveys.

If you are happy with Ry's World Hosting after this period, you will be able
to keep RWH as your World Hoster...
Please email rbirkin at iinet.net.au for information.


Please see news.andras.net Group: AW.Advertising, Thread "Coming Soon!"
For a full recap of the story.

Thank You,
Ry

I went through on your website regarding to your world hosting.
I'm not a beginner in this field so I have to ask questions which the website (and none of your posts) doesn't answer:

1, What is your connection type (Cable, ADSL, SDSL, Leased Line, T1, etc) ?
2, What is your upstream and downstream speed?
3, Do you share this bandwidth with another service (or yourself)?
4, What is your server machine (configurations, OS, etc)?
5, Do you have another servers/services running on that machine?
6, What kind of firewall do you have?
7, How do you protect the worlds database?
8, What kind of backup and how frequently do you make them?
9, Do you provide any off site backups?
10, Does the world owners have the admin access available?
11, How do you resolve the registry loads? (FTP, email, etc)

Those are the minimum requirements you should mention before you do world hosting.

Wait, so you were hosting 14 worlds before you got your "connection
upgrade" to 256kbps upstream/downstream? O_O Aren't you overdoing it
just a bit? How is lag? Are the worlds empty most of the time? Do you
use the connection yourself personally for Web surfing, e-mail, etc?

Im not hosting AWI worlds... lol.... A few went because they wanted to feel
safer with a paid host (Confirmed uptime etc...) ....
256/256 in AUSTRALIA is equivlent to something like 612/612 in AMERICA

At this point in time...
I have two computers.....
Both the same specifications I said,....

I have three telephone lines, two of which have 128/128 ADSL.. I at the
moment have 9 worlds being hosted, spread across each mashine....
I use the one with less worlds hosted to do my own surfing email AW etc...

I think that cleared it..I THINK

Wow, that must be some line provisioning then! I know here in some areas
in the States that Verizon provisions the line a bit higher than
768kbps/128kbps so you can use the full bandwidth available to you
(TCP/IP protocol overhead takes about 13% away from your rated
connection speed), but other telcos and ISP do not. I've never heard of
a 256kbps/256kbps being able to run at 612kbps/612kbps, though...

Normally, 256kbps/256kbps would be classified as SDSL, but I just
noticed you said you have at two 128kbps/128kbps lines. If you have two
DSL lines, there are certain routers with dual ports so you can bridge
or merge the lines together and tries to give you double the bandwidth, BTW.

It wouldn't speed up the server's connection:(
You need a fixed IP for the server, so load sharing won't effect a single server just the overall performance and the download on his side of course.

Well, if all worlds were hosted on one server, and there were two
identical ADSL lines at 128kbps/128kbps which were connected to the
router (with the same MTU settings), it would in effect *try* and use
the full 128kbps from the first line and the full 128kbps of the second
line. When I say try, I don't mean it will be perfect.

I'm not talking about server load balancing, but using two different
Internet connections to increase bandwidth to whatever is connected to
the local LAN. Downloads will of course be faster since half of it is
going through one connection and the other through the second
connection, but it won't help speed up everything. Ideally, a true
256kbps connection would be better than two merged 128kbps ones.

Nexland had a router that can do this, but they were acquired by
Symantec. XiNCOM does make one, though (see http://www.xincom.com for
details). Of course, a static IP would be best, but it wouldn't surprise
me if you can do it without one nowadays.
