My Dell 400sc is supposed to arive here in the next few days and I am planning on setting up my webserver on it. I just have a few questions about best way to partition my 36gig Western Digital Raptor on it and how easy it is to setup multiple webpages on it.
I chose standard edition over web because I might concider playing around with streaming media.
I will also be setting up an SQL database up on it for one of my VisualStudio.Net programs that will be running on the webserver.
So for partitioning, I was thinking 10gig for the OS, 10gig for the SQL database, and the last 16gig for webspace. I am sure I probabily could scale the sql data base down to 5 or so gigs since alls it is going to hold is a bunch of online diary entries. So I would like anyones opinion on this partitioning format, sizing and how many partitions needed.
My other question has to deal with setting up the webspace. I am wondering if it is easy to setup multiple webpages in the format I describe in the next line. Lets say I set up my main page to be www.webpage.com by purchasing the name and having it set up with my ip address and what not. Is it easy to set up the server to take and route www.name1.webserver.com and www.name2.webserver.com addresses to certain directories on the webspace.
Thanks for your help. It would be nice to not have to reformat or anything because I partition my drives wrong or somthing.
