    Default Dedicated Server Optimisation, advice wanted

    I run a Vbulletin forum on my Ubuntu server, does anyone know much about Server Optimisation? I have of course done all the standard Vbulletin specific optimisations(moving avatars out of database etc) and I use Xcache

    I feel like there is more that could be done but everytime I ask somewhere I'm told to refer to an expert which frankly isn't that helpful seeing as no "expert" is ever provided

    I appreciate that this can probably get quite complicated but if someone could point me towards a guide for some more basic stuff or something that would be appreciated

    You need to optimize mysql, webserver to yield better performance. Actually, you must decide first what uses high resources and then optimize the system accordingly.

    Hi,

    I had a little look at your site and ran yslow. loading without a cached version of your site is nearly 2mb! I have attached linked to the report for you to have a look at. There is some serious room for optimization, especialy with regards to your chosen theme and external javascripts.

    I do not understand what is the issue with the OS. If the OP is running Ubuntu and is comfortable with it there is absolutely no problems.

    In terms of optimization, which webserver are you using? If it is Apache than you can take a look at Litespeed (PAID) which offers extremely good site load speeds alternatively you can try Nginx or Varnish Cache. Personally I can vouch on Varnish, I have and still use it and it just performs amazingly. Secondly, you can opt for a different VPS that runs on SSDs and serve your MySQL database from an SSD.
