Solaris
Virtual Server FAQ
- Can I upgrade from a FreeBSD Virtual Server to a Solaris Virtual
Server?
Yes, you can upgrade, however, the process is not automatic. In order
to upgrade, you will have to order a Solaris Virtual Server, transfer
your content, files, configurations, etc., move your domain name, and
then terminate your existing Virtual Server.
-
Where are the Solaris Virtual Servers housed?
The Solaris Virtual Servers are available in the San Jose, California
Data Center or the Dulles, Virginia Data Center.
-
What are the details of the Solaris Virtual Server?
Hardware
SPARC Ultra AXI 440 MHz
1 GB RAM
36 GB drives
Software
Operating System: Solaris 2.6
Web Server: Apache 1.3.12
FTP Server: ProFTP
Mail Server: sendmail
-
How many subhosts can the Solaris Virtual Servers support?
The same subhosting recommendations for the FreeBSD Virtual
Servers apply to the Solaris Virtual Servers.
Solaris Standard: 25 subhosts
Solaris Pro: 60 subhosts
Of course the same guidelines and limitations of subhosting also
apply to the Solaris Virtual Servers. The Server Administrator is
responsible for managing the load created by multiple subhosts.
Although the Solaris Virtual Server will support subhosts, the intent
of this product is to support a single user with more complex web
site requirements. If you intend to use your server primarily for
subhosts and don't need the advanced features that Solaris provides,
we recommend you check out our FreeBSD Virtual Server as well, which
is well-suited for multiple subhosts.
-
What system resources are allocated to each Solaris Virtual Server?
Solaris Standard
Disk Space: 400 MB
Processes: 64 processes (25 httpd processes)
Solaris Pro
Disk Space: 800 MB
Processes: 96 processes (40 httpd processes)
-
Is there an E-Commerce shopping cart available for the Solaris
Virtual Servers?
There is not currently a shopping cart add-on available directly from
Blue Reef. You can, however, purchase a variety of shopping carts
that run on the Solaris operating system. We are planning to add Mercantec's
SoftCart in February 2001.
-
Will the Solaris Virtual Servers support Java Servlets and Java
Server Pages (JSP)?
We anticipate making servlets and JSPs available via Apache's Jakarta-Tomcat
project. These add-ons are scheduled to be available in February 2001.
-
When will Allaire ColdFusion be available?
Allaire ColdFusion
Enterprise v4.5 is now available on the Solaris Virtual Servers. Resellers
can order ColdFusion in the Reseller Backroom. The

-
When will Chili!Soft ASPs be available?
Much like our ColdFusion offering, we will also be providing Chili!Soft
ASPs on the Solaris Virtual Servers. Pricing is yet to be determined,
but it will be monthly recurring fee of less than $20. Chili!Soft
ASPs is planned to be available on the Solaris Virtual Server in February
2001.
