[QUOTE="Nimrad, post: 1005748, member: 145243"] It has always been my dream to set up a dedicated server. Now that Apple did with Mac Mini server, I have decided to invest this when the next upgrade comes. Currently I am hosting a wordpress blog and mail on my webhotel, and that's all. I plan, however, to expand a little when I get my own server. I wonder, can I easily put over my wordpress blog as it is today in the OS X server? Can I use a Mac Mini-server as a traffic shaping-device to share a 30/30mbit line so that only the 10/10 proceeds to the router where all the other PCs are connected? (Internet (30/30) - Mac Mini Server - (USB-ethernet cable) - Router - wireless and wired network to the other PCs in my home network) Is it possible to set specific processes to only use one core? I am wondering to use it as a media server every once in a while, but then it has to be possible to only use one of the cores so that the other, more important processes gets higher priority. The plan is therefore to host 4-5 domains with web hosting (minimal traffic, only a few blogs), mail server for all domains (perhaps 10 email accounts in total), backup of lots of pictures (my long term goal is to have backup functionality for the whole family's best images), seedbox for torrent seeding(50GB traffic a month, mostly upload, minimal download. LEGAL traffic btw), FTP server and perhaps more small stuff as opportunities presents themselves. Do you have any thoughts on how I can get this to work as good as possible? [/QUOTE]
