Wooo
On thursday my school donated 7 ‘old’ish computers to me
. Of the 7, 4 work and 3 will be used for parts (this is because of a lack of motherboards with processors
).
The next day, they presented me with a Netgear FS524 100mbps 24 ports switch. Apart from it being very noisy, it is awesome :p.
All of this kit is going to be upgraded a bit and will then be put to test on my local network. If they pass, then they will go into the server room, and an internet connection from BT will be purchased and the PC’s linked up to the internet as web servers. They will be hosting www.xeonhosting.co.uk to start with, and eventually we will host all the JCKD websites (including this one) on them.
In the not-to-distant future, i hope to make another 4U server and start selling VPS hosting.
Thank you Matt and Les!
