Best server spec for WHMCS?

[hostology]

I've been trying to run WHMCS on a top spec windows 2008 server for the past month or so but have had so many problems that i've got to look somewhere else in hope of getting it sorted asap.

 

Can anyone recommend a good host to go with, I guess ideally a dedicated server. Is a linux server the best to go with?

 

If anyone has any good recommendations where they host their whmcs then that would be great

 

Thanks,

It depends on the size of your operation; we have WHMCS running on a virtual machine. It'll run hapilly on a shared account too.

thanks for your reply, do you run it on windows or linux?

[chickendippers]

We use Linux.

thanks, i seem to be having nothing but nightmares using windows 2008!

but surely it must be supported? There is nothing in the documentation that says it can't be used so why is it so difficult to get working? surely there must be users out there with windows servers?

*assuming* you have php and mysql installed and configured correctly, WHMCS will work the same way.

 

every problem i've investigated with WHMCS setups on windows have tracked back to curl/php/config issues with the windows server, and not problems with whmcs itself

 

however IME it is *much* easier to get a php app to work under Linux than 'Doze

We have it running just fine on windows 2003. Windows 2008 is a lot more involved in it's setup though so it's highly likely that it's not WHMCS at fault but rather the server configuration itself.

and what do you mean by that, Windows 2008 runs better tham any Linux machine if setup right...

I've got it on a low spec VPS running linux without any problems.. I'm even hosting a personal sites on it as well. Never ran into a hiccup.

It was meant more as humor, but I agree with

And I should have tried to be more helpfull, shut up or pointed out it was meant as humor

Runs better ? What are you basing that statement on ? What exactly "runs better" ?

What do you think...

Who cares? Instead of hijacking a thread for this worn out topic, why not create your own thread and continue it there?

I am sure that there are those that would dispute that. IME its really a matter of preference.
