Server Grids

The trend of hosting multiple sites on one server has gone, and right now it is in fashion to host one site on several servers. Well, sites that have traffic or a lot of content ofcourse. Take for example an image gallery that has got a lot of images, which is updated automatically from several websites onthe web. Did you knwo that hosting images or content on your site giving proper credits to the copyright owners of the images or by linking to them is never illegal?

So, if you get an idea to start a site like that, you can never do with just 1 server. You will become someone like flikr, attract images from everywhere, and put them on automated image galleries, and this way traffic will automatically come over to your website, and with that traffic you could make a lot of money selling ads and stuff.

This is why today you might see people ordering 10s and 100s of servers all at one go with the datacenters at good discounted rates, and network them internally to make them into a grid, or make them into one single server with loads of processor resources memory and disk drive space. Some people say that if you make a grid out of 2 P4 processor computers, you will get the power of 2^n = 2^2 = 4 computers. That way if you make a grid out of 128 computers, then the power that you would be able to derive would be of 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 computers. Maybe thats how Wikipedia is so powerful and fast though it is the 2nd website after google that receives the most number of visitors. But is this calculation correct? Thats a very large number, and if someone wants computing power why dont they just rely on this and why do people go for mainframes and stuff?

Georgian Poultry

A poultry farmer from Tamil Nadu in India has managed to take a Citizenship in the US now. Dont ask me how. I didnt ask him. He is a butcher there in Georgia. Runs quite a profitable business from what I heard.

His only problem is, that no company is coming forward to him with good insurance policies. Thats when I googled for him with Coventry Health Georgia and found cvty-healthinsurance.com, a company that an authorized independent agent of Coventry Health Care, Inc. (Coventry)

If you don’t have group health insurance, Coventry offers a suite of health plans called CoventryOneSM. This coverage is ideal for self-employed individuals, part-time employees, students, singles and families.

Ravi’s Splog

Google thinks that mine is a splog. I am writing a minimum of 6 articles per day on a blog, and even more in days on which I have time to spare and things to write, in the sole intention to increase traffic, readership, and get people to linkback themselves without me asking or joining any link referal program.

But google thinks that since I write a lot, this might not be a blog that is maintained by one single induvidual, and might contain paid writing or posts that are auto updated from free article sites (which is not the fact) and has just went out of the way and not at all in time to spank my blog.

Why did they do that? What made them spank my blog alone while the page ranks of all other blogs and websites are not touched? Bad luck I should say. Or did my blog display any content that looks so bad in the eyes of google? Nothing that I can see.
