About Our Site
I've had several questions regarding how we run this site so I decided to make a page explaining everything.
|
This site is run with the following:
A Netfinity 5500 M20
|
- A broadband Internet connection via Time Warner's RoadRunner service.
We have a personal account and receive one dynamic IP address.
- Domain name management using EasyDNS.com.
When our IP changes, which only happens when the router goes down,
I visit EasyDNS' management pages and set our new IP address.
- A Linux server that runs on an
IBM Netfinity 5500 M20 with-
- quad 500MHz P3 Xeon processors
- 768MB RAM
- 6 SCSI hard drives in 2 RAID arrays
A rackmount APC SmartUPS 1000 powers the Netfinity's redundant power supplies.
- The Linux version is RedHat 7.3 with
a 2.4 kernel.
- The Tomcat Java application server runs our
website, which contains dynamic server-side executed code written in Java. Ever wonder how our pages
always display the correct time? The web pages are generated by Java on the fly, that's how.
