ESPN’s server crashed for nearly 45 minutes in early July in the face of massive amounts of traffic. The crash happened right after news broke that Rudy Gay had re-signed with the Memphis Grizzlies. Could ESPN’s site crash again as fans rush to the sports news site to learn more about the All-Star Trio of King James, Wade and Bosh in the months ahead?

“ESPN saw traffic surge to the point of crashing the site — and that can happen to anyone,” said Octavio Diaz, Operations Manager at ServerPronto, a discount dedicated server company headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale. “But you don’t have to suffer ESPN’s fate. You can get affordable backup servers in place that offer you the bandwidth you need during special promotions your company is running.”

ServerPronto, the world’s most reliable dedicated server, has redundancies in place that help customers avoid server outages, including fault tolerant network devices that link data centers to upstream providers and multiple Tier 1 backbones connected via dynamic routing protocols.

ServerPronto also offers multiple uninterruptable power sources to feed all network attached equipment, along with high efficiency diesel generators to backup commercial power sources. All these features, along with 24×7 monitoring for network performance and availability, allow ServerPronto to offer a 100 percent server uptime guarantee.

“You don’t have to be ESPN during NBA free agent negotiations to see your traffic spike — and you don’t have to be a major television network to have backups systems in place that accommodate those traffic spikes,” Diaz said. “Our dedicated servers are not only reliable — they are affordable. You can use our servers as a backup without breaking your IT budget.”

Migrating a dedicated server, hosting service or virtual private server from one provider to another isn’t rocket science — but it does take time. We are now giving new customers time to migrate — at their own pace — with this Spring Migration Promotion. Customers migrating from a competing provider receive two months of free service with a six-month commitment when they choose quarterly billing with the promo code SPDB100303.

“Some of the biggest reasons people don’t migrate a dedicated server is because they dread the pressure of configuring a new server, switching DNS records, and moving all the data quickly,” said Octavio Diaz, Operations Manager for ServerPronto, a leading dedicated server provider in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “ServerPronto’s Spring Migration Promotion lets you take your time.”

There are many reasons to migrate. Dedicated server providers may pull critical features or discontinue the support of operating systems companies rely on. It could be that downtime becomes an issue, customer support is poor, or hardware fails too often. Or perhaps the dedicated server provider doesn’t offer enough flexibility or scalability for growing companies.

We continue to optimize our  products and services, and offers safeguards such as a 60-minute hardware replacement policy, a 100 percent uptime guarantee, and best of breed, performance-oriented dedicated server hardware mounted in a world-class, temperature-controlled data center.

“Migrating a dedicated server doesn’t have to be a stressful experience,” Diaz said. “ServerPronto makes it easy to migrate with free set-up and two-hour activation on customized dedicated server packages — and our Spring Migration Promotion gives you two months of free service so you can migrate at a speed that’s comfortable for your schedule.”

Linux Background

The Linux OS began as a hobby of Linus Torvalds, a young student who attended the University of Helsinki in Finland. With a keen interest in Minix, a small Unix-like system, Torvalds wanted to develop a system that exceeded Minix’s standards. He released version 0.02 in 1991 and worked steadily until releasing version 1.0 of the kernel in 1994. The core of all Linux systems, the kernel was released under the GNU General Public License, which made the source code freely available.

During the mid to late 1990s, the techie community dismissed Linux as merely a hobbyist project, unaware of its potential. In their mind, the system was not suited for the computing needs of the general public and definitely not the server environment. This was due in large part to the system’s complexity and unfamiliarity. How times have changed! Thanks to the creators of desktop management systems such as GNOME and the Mozilla web browser project, a wide range of applications can now be run on the platform and used by virtually anyone regardless of their experience.

Securing the Linux Experience

If you are interested in running the Linux OS on your server, you can get a feel for its power by downloading a live CD version of the software called Knoppix. This version comes equipped with everything needed to carry out day to day tasks. After getting familiar with it, you may then wish to seek out other Linux distributions, such as Red Hat, SUSE, CentOS or Fedora. Although the system does require a bit of technical skill on your part, there are a number of modules that be incorporated to make the platform both easy to configure and use.
