Traceroute shows the network path (hops) between your Linux server and a destination host, along with the latency at each hop. It’s a quick way to pinpoint where slowness, routing breaks, or filtering begins, before you dig deeper with packet captures or provider tickets. In this guide, you’ll learn how to run traceroute on Linux, […]
The process of renaming directories on Linux is a simple yet impactful task. Many developers use it to clean up projects, resolve mistakes, or move a folder’s location. The “mv” command handles renaming in most cases, following a simple syntax. You provide the source’s name and a new name; therefore, the system updates the directory […]
Shared hosting sounds ideal just when you’re starting out with a new website. However, outgrowing it often slows down everything because of the limitations of shared resources. Upon reaching this point, most reams choose to migrate the website to a dedicated server. But what does that mean exactly? A dedicated server is not hosted on […]
The WooCommerce caching is an ideal way to improve the load speed of your website pages without breaking dynamic pages that store user data. A Content Delivery Network (CDN) sets up static assets in data centers near the audience to reduce latency. This keeps web browsing smooth and reduces strain on the origin server, and […]
The first step in the cloud backup process is installing a backup agent. The backup agent is a piece of software used to manage the cloud backup process on the device you wish to backup. Backup agents are available on a variety of operating systems including Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and more. This article will […]
A fresh Linux server requires immediate protection, known as “hardening“, since new hosts are known to face broad security vulnerabilities quickly after deployment. There are a lot of ways to secure your Linux system, including locking down root login, setting up security patches, and disabling unnecessary services. All of this before the server goes live. […]
To automate server scripts, especially on a Windows operating system, is one of the vital optimizations that will quietly save you hours of manual work every day. These automations often include restart services, data backups, log management, updates, and more, all while you’re sleeping or at least not thinking about it. Here at ServerMania, we’ve […]
Kubernetes GPU clusters on bare metal infrastructure provide you with direct access to GPUs and full control over the physical hardware. Running bare metal GPU Kubernetes on physical servers removes abstraction from the underlying server hardware. This setup improves application workload performance for AI training, inference, batch jobs, and live video streaming. In short, it […]
The deployment of large language models (LLMs), not only requires a good understanding of writing code but also knowing how to craft an infrastructure that supports it. The demand for optimized GPU environments becomes important, especially when developers take the crucial step forward of moving from experimentation to production. At ServerMania, we’ve helped many AI […]
The Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) connects large language models (LLMs) with external data sources to deliver context-aware responses. Instead of solely relying on pre-trained data, RAG systems use information retrieval to fetch relevant documents, structured data, and unstructured data from multiple data sources. This boosts accuracy and enables real-time data access for enterprise applications. As enterprises […]
