The server infrastruture and additional components to build a website
Many of my clients ask some specifications about server infrastructure, what operating system they use, where we host the website, web applications to build the website, etc. Here are some brief explanations about server infrastructure and additional component to build the website.
Operating system
We use Linux operating system. Linux is a robust, secure and reliable operating server especially for servers. It is widely used as server on the datacenter or intranet. The combination of apache as web server, MySQL or PostgreSQL as database server and PHP as scripting language make this operating system is popular as the server infrastructure.
Based on netcraft.net (http://www.netcraft.net) survey, apache http server get 50.61% market share on the internet. MySQL is widely used as database server, it¡¦s fast robust and reliable as database server on the internet. Even Google use modified MySQL as their database servers.
PHP is no doubt as the most popular scripting language to build web applications. It is fast and easy to learn.
Web Hosting
Hosting is available on local server (Indonesia) or on USA.

| Security | Moderate. Depends on operating system and firewall setup | Mostly monitored and hardened with additional fees. |
| Backup | Good backup but need additional fees for external backup to ensure data is safe if hard drive server is crashed | Good backup but need additional fees for external backup to ensure data is safe if hard drive server is crashed |
| Support | Good support from datacenter and we can go there directly to fix things | Good support but can not go there directly to fix things |
Note: uptime is calculated by how many times server up or online in one year.

Popular content management system are:
- Drupal, the most extensible, robust and secure content management system. Drupal is designed for community websites, web 2.0 enabled website, company website even for personal use. It can be extended by modules for various needs.

XML-RPC wordpress.com tidak berfungsi?
Waduh, kaget juga waktu mau posting, ternyata XML-RPC wordpress.com di-disabled. Jadi ngga bisa posting lewat browser pakai Scribefire, mesti login, trus klik new post baru bisa posting…
Itu kejadian setelah kejadian di bawah ini, kita flashback dulu…
Dua hari ini, sabtu dan minggu, tenaga dan waktu gue diperas. Setelah permohonan Google AdSense gue disetujui, gue bingung, mau diapain nih Google AdSense. Layanan yang ditawarkan hanya khusus pencarian saja, untuk konten tidak tersedia buat situs berbahasa Indonesia. Gue coba buat account di server teman, trus setup Wordpress. Tidak lupa mengarahkan name server kutucape.com ke server baru.
Gue capek menset theme karena selalu tidak cocok dengan selera gue. Ini penyakit gue yang ngga hilang-hilang saat setup blog pertama kali. Pengennya desain yang simpel, elegan dan mudah dibaca, tapi terkadang gue udah sreg dengan theme satu, pas coba theme lain, eh berubah lagi, terus dan terus sampai gue frustasi (ah segitunya :D)
Parahnya lagi, gue mau menghapus blog gue yang ada di wordpress.com! Untungnya, masih ada kesempatan terakhir, pihak wordpress.com mengirimkan email dan mesti mengklik link yang ada di email jika gue 100% mau menghapus blog. Setelah dipikir masak-masak, mending gue pertahankan blog gue ini, lagian sudah terlanjur sayang :D.
Akhirnya, gue terminate account yang ada di server teman, trus setting kembali nameserver balik ke wordpress.com. Menunggu lagi sampai DNS propagation-nya sampai di seluruh belahan internet dan paling lambat mungkin besok udah balik normal kembali.
Dan…
Kenapa XML-RPC-nya dinon-aktifkan? Mungkin karena gue berniat untuk menghapus blog? Atau ini secara global berlaku untuk blog yang host di wordpress.com? Mudah-mudahan masih dalam maintenance deh dan bukan karena gue menghapus blog ini. Semoga. Kita tunggu aja penjelasan dari si Matt dan kawan-kawan..
Capek tau, posting lewat wordpress administration
[edit: gue dapat link ini, take a look]
Saran Buat Penyedia Hosting di Indonesia
Penyedia webhosting di Indonesia sudah mulai banyak. Mengingat mudahnya memperoleh reseller domain di registrar tertentu dan mudahnya menyewa dedicated di luar negeri atau dalam negeri sehingga penyedia webhosting mulai menjamur.
Biasanya jika masih baru, server bisa menghandle dengan baik klien-klien yang menyewa server tersebut, tetapi jika sudah mulai banyak, server sudah mulai kelebihan beban (overload) sehingga beberapa masalah mungkin terjadi, seperti yang lazim disebut para user: “down” atau “unresponsive“.
Penyebab down server memang bermacam-macam dan biasanya karena ada proses tertentu yang memakan banyak resource atau ada serangan dari luar, baik Denial of Service Attack (DOS) atau lebih parah Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDOS).
Layanan hosting di Indonesia yang benar-benar reliable?
Posting ini sebenarnya bentuk dari kekhawatiran saya terhadap layanan web hosting di Indonesia. Beberapa hosting besar memang bagus layanannya, namun terkadang ada beberapa kesalahan atau kekurangan yang tidak diantisipasi sejak awal.
Kemarin sempat satu database hilang dari salah satu klien kami. Untungnya penyedia jasa hosting terbesar di Indonesia ini membackup daily, weekly dan monthly. Saya sudah senang sekali dengan adanya daily backup, tapi apa nyana, date modified dari database yang ingin saya restore jauh dari date modified yang up to date. Seharusnya jika date modified secara keseluruhan adalah per tanggal 23 Januari 2008, setidaknya tanggal 23 atau lebih kurang seminggu sebelumnya, tapi database archive yang saya lihat per tanggal Desember 2007!
Sudah dikirim email ke bagian support dan mereka dengan baik hati merestore ke data terbaru (17 Januari 2008), tapi tetap saja, data-data sebelumnya hilang.. Project manager dan beberapa editor dari situs tersebut terpaksa mengisi data ulang. (More …)
