are you going to configure sql server 2005 hosting or setting up or moving sql server 2000 hosting to a new environment ? as both are hosted on a dedicated sql server you need to make sure you configure your sql server hosting to a optimum environment which protects them from damage and helps them perform better.in above case the location of dedicated sql server is very important factor, here we are telling you how to choose the location and environment for your sql server 2005 hosting (or sql server 2000 hosting) perform better.
Use following points while deciding s location for your server :
1.location should be static –reaction or static charge free as static charge may damage internal server parts .
2.location should be at cool environment about at room temperature which makes sure that huge heat produced by internal working of server is colled down effectively.
3.location should be at mid floor at it prevents from rainwater in ground floor and sun beams and heat of top floor.
4.the location should not contain any leaks , moisture , flammable liquids or open wires which can trigger short circuit
5.the electric point or plug must be near so it avoids extended wires , sometimes this can be fatal as multiple wires tend to trigger massive short circuit
6.the power supply must be consistent , constant and stable better use a stabilizer if you think that power is not stable
7.try to get a LAN line and phone jack as you will need this for internet connection in further set up of server and wiring etc will cost much at that time.
8.make sure you don’t directly plug the LAN wire in to server , it should first be connected to hardware firewall and then to main equipment, a hardware firewall is a primary security step for web server.
9.avoid placing server near any place where peace is required such as bedroom as the server parts ie. Fans etc produce quite noise
Those are all some basic things to consider before hosting your own server. Hosting your own server is not an easy task, but once you have had some time and experience with it, it becomes a easy task.
