Hi all,

I am looking for a hosting solution for my company (I'm not very familiar with web hosting). The devs shared with me the following specs.

Would OVH have an offer matching those criteria ?

 

PREPROD VM

  • OS: RHEL

  • CPU: 2 vCPUs

  • RAM: 4 GB

  • Storage: 50 GB SSD

  • Software:

    • Apache 2.4+
    • PHP 8.x
    • WordPress
    • HTTPS enabled
    • MariaDB 10.x
    • Apache Tomcat 8.xx
    • Java 8
    • MariaDB 10.x
    • Angular 5
  • PHP and Apache configuration & extensions:

    • PHP:

      • max_execution_time: 30
      • max_input_time: 30
      • memory_limit: 256M
      • post_max_size: 256M (will depend on the maximum file size users are allowed to upload)
      • upload_max_filesize: 64M
      • safe_mode: off
      • allow_url_fopen: on
    • PHP modules:

      • php-pecl-memcached (Memcached PHP extension)
      • GD
      • Curl
      • Mysqli
    • Apache modules:

      • rewrite_module: for clean URLs
      • deflate_module: for caching
      • headers_module: to set expiration dates for static files
      • mod_expires: to define expiration directives, improve cache control and reduce server requests
      • filter_module: for security rules
      • mod_gzip: page compression
      • mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http: HTTP gateway to the XMPP server

PROD VM

  • OS: Linux RHEL

  • RAM: 4 GB (scalable)

  • Storage: 70 GB SSD

  • Software:

    • Apache Tomcat 8.xx

      • deflate_module: caching
      • headers_module: static file expiration
      • mod_expires: browser cache optimization
      • filter_module: security rules
      • mod_gzip: page compression
      • mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http: HTTP gateway to the XMPP server

SECURITY

  • Shared firewall with inbound/outbound network filtering
  • Network segmentation and full PROD / PREPROD isolation
  • IDS/IPS (intrusion detection and prevention)
  • OS patching and update management
  • Centralized logging and security event monitoring

Hi,

 

No solution at OVH will match all your criteria, since OVH don't have solution that they will manage/administer for you.

If you need to match all the criteria it will be VMs + hire an system administrator to manage your VMs.

 

Best regards,

Thank you very much for the analysis.

 

Will look into the approach you recommend.

 

Have a fantastic day ! 

Pierre
