el canadiano Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 I was wondering if Sphinx Search Engine was installed at HawkHost servers (I'm considering buying perhaps a one-year plan here). Sphinx Search Engine is a database search engine that uses the machine directly to search for things in the database, thus providing massive speed/usability benefits for a forum software. http://sphinxsearch.com/ This isn't really a requirement for me, but it would definitely be a luxury. I also have another question. What's the difference in speed between the three datacentres? Anyways, I'd love to hear from staff/members alike. Quote
Brian Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 We do not have that installed on our servers right now. If you bought a VPS you'd be able to install it on there though. As for the network, you can get information for each location here along with speedtests: http://www.hawkhost.com/network The major difference between the three is just physical locations. People from Asia tend to get best speeds into Seattle, Europe is best into Washington DC, and Dallas is a solid location for North / Central / South America. Quote
el canadiano Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Posted November 8, 2010 That's cool. I bought hosting anyways. I really needed the 128M memory limit. Quote
