Filezilla login and directory structure on Hetzner 2016. September 2016.

Assessment of Server Options

• 6/16 setup on Hetzner 2011 is shit and needs updating - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Processor, 4 GB RAM, 2x 400 GB Harddisks, 1 Gbit/s Connection

• Main figure of merit - RAM space - which is how many pages it can store in memory before having to use hard disks - where RAM access is instantaneous, and hard disk access is slow.

• Difference Between a Dedicated and Managed Server
• HDD vs SSD Storage
• DDOS Attacks are an issue according to Y Combinator News - [1]
• Latency on Hetzner in different parts of the world - [2]

Proposed Solution

• Upgrade hardware/plan on Hetzner
• Document sysadmin to do sysadmin in house
