[QUOTE="Shikarnov, post: 1367825, member: 49413"] Hi All, As a complimentary service for our marketing clients, my company offers web and email hosting. We've been a HostGator reseller for some time now and have had few problems, except with one client that's particularly high maintenance. Anyway, long story short, we're looking to dedicated solutions, and I'd dearly love to make it an Apple server. However, I know Apple discontinued the XServe, and it seems most of the Apple deployments these days are co-located Mac Minis. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with the idea of putting my clients' production sites on a Mac Mini though. I'll grant that the load is relatively low (fewer than 500K pageviews per month - and only about 100 mailboxes total), but can a Mini really handle it? And what about overheating in that tiny box? And what about disk mirroring, etc? Does anybody have experience with this who can offer some advice? Thanks! Z [/QUOTE]
