Hey Virendra,

I doubt if you get one single document for all these things. Which is exactly why you need a consultant who has experience setting such tasks. Something which you might not get Free of Cost :)

Although if you have time and patience then google is your answer.

Hi There.

I am looking for some hard core technical documentation and articles which explains how to build a highly scalable standalone linux server for hosting purposes. It will be running a combination of Billing Software, Network Monitoring, Security (some form of encryption), Web Server, Database (mysql and postgres) which could lead to heavy usage.

I know certain queries can be googled but what I am really interested in is people's recommendation with pointers that talk about lessons learned from folks who have built heavy duty servers (w/ storage requirements, raid, ram, processors..etc) for a data center environment.

This information will be extremely valuable to my team.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Virendra

Interesting... I wonder if you've given a thought to UML (User Mode Linux).

Actually a lot depends on the application. Whether you'd rent space to people or use it for your own application. If you're renting who'll be your target clients etc.

Right now, I think hosting using UML is really niche and is 'the next big thing' after virtual hosting. Have a look at http://linode.com.

If you need help you can mail me off the list.

Best wishes for your venture,
