How to connect the server to the internet?

Question

Computer networks

I'm going to buy an Intel Core i7 Quad Core Skylake x2 server, DDR4 64Gb, SSD 2x4Tb, Ethernet 1Gb/s. Also UPS. And put in an apartment in a house connected to the Internet. Good throughput is required.
Questions: How to connect the server to the Internet? Should I install my own switch? Do I need any additional equipment to connect? Which provider is better to cooperate with and how much is the payment per 1 month. after connecting (St. Petersburg)?
Thanks for posting a detailed answer.

Answer 1

Wangyu is the following: You connect the Internet, buy a white IP and install a server (most likely minecraft), work like this for about a month, and then nothing works for you, you call the provider with a question why some ports that you need are blocked, and you they say that non-stop traffic went through them, which clogged the channel and that they have a suspicion that you installed server houses 24/7, which, under the contract, you, as a physicist, do not have the right to install and display them on a white IP address, after which access they just block and leave you ports 80 and 443 to watch YouTube.

Um... From rags to riches.
Having plugged the provider cable into the "server", it will already be connected to the Internet. A "switch" is needed if you have more than one, or a complex infrastructure or load balancing, different providers, different subnets, etc. etc.
The provider will most likely give you a "gray" IP address and it can be dynamic (may change from time to time), which, moreover, will be behind the provider's NAT. That is, it will be problematic to connect to your "server" from "outside" (you can find ways to bypass it, but this is more of a perversion).
So you need at least a "static" and a "real" (non-NATed) IP address. Whether providers now provide such opportunities, alas, confusion.
As for the "good bandwidth" - you still have a "household" connection option, from which the speed can "float". Either connect 3-4 providers at once and balance, or xs.
IMHO you shouldn't bother with it. Put a "server" in a data center that provides such opportunities (yes, renting a unit can be expensive in the Russian Federation and it's not a fact that your "server" will meet all the conditions).
If you still want to be at home, then at least provide a fallback option somewhere far away, because. stability depends on the provider.
Personally, my provider starts to cut the speed when it goes to the maximum for more than 4 hours in a row, arguing with a "spam protection system" (I doubt that normal providers have this,

Your ISP will kick you out in a week. Home Internet is not for commercial use.
And if you do not have a desktop, but a real server, then you can easily get a fine from the Ministry of Emergencies.

Answer 4

For St. Petersburg there is Rostelecom, house ru, it depends on the area, for you I would advise colocation, and not install a server at home.

Answer 5

If the provider provides such a service as a white ip-address, then this is what you need. Add. equipment is not needed if the ports that are in the router are enough. On the router, then in port-forwarding, configure the necessary ports or put the entire host in the DMZ. For prices, you can ask the operators to which your house is connected.

Answer 6

What is this server for? What problem are you planning to solve?

Dude, this is not a server :) This is a gaming car, and if you want to make a game server , then write it.
- You will have a good bandwidth for money comparable to a contract for a yurik. Because the contract for a physicist is always BEFORE a certain value. From zero. And this is not a violation of the contract - you will have a ping of 3000 ms - and there will be nothing to say to Provo :)
- You need a switch if you need to connect many local devices - see for yourself.
- It's a good idea to put a router in front of the server so that you don't expose Windows naked #opy to tyrnet
- Some providers block some ports - for example, in our city one stupid (and not very big) wire blocks port 1723
- You need a white IP
- Prov will easily ban you if it detects asymmetric traffic (a lot of incoming traffic) on the basis that you cannot do this (and here you need to carefully read the contract - you can or not)

Answer 8

Just like non-server/any other network equipment
