I’m a new at networking. Do you have any tips on improving this small network based on what I’ve uploaded? Say in an affordable way like ,000 budget.
Basically the provided network range is 192.168.0.0/24 range as this network isn’t likely to exceed 200+ hosts.
There are 4 LANS (its own subnet) so it’s easier to apply security policy etc.:
(1) Web Server
(2) Database and Email Server
(3) Staff
(4) StudentsAny help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Basically there are 30 student rooms in this building — each room w/ only 1 Ethernet port.@featherawr Ah, I see scalability. Thanks for the quick response featherawr! Yeah, a PT diagram would help!
Answer: It is not your fault you are confused. Finding a web host should not be so complicated. Web hosting is the heart of your business and can mean the success and failure for your business.
To answer your query, here are 7 qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- has friendly Live Chat to help you with your query,
- gives unlimited storage,
- offers no limit on bandwidth,
- gives multiple add-on domains,
- has friendly Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
- has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.
To answer your question, why not try Hostgator. If you are building your first website and needs a hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best hosting and domain registrar around.
With more than 4 million websites hosted, a “Hostgator sucks” comment cannot be avoided. See the drawbacks of Hostgator in the section below. Objectively, HG has an amazingly long, 45 days money back guarantee so you have ample time to test them out.

Hostgator Complaints
No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:
- No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

Well the immediate concerns would be scalability, this topology looks okay for like a 20 student network unless that’s like a huge freaking switch for the students.
*edit*
Okay here’s what I got:

That’s like $12500 for what I can buy, businesses can usually get a lot off the price but they’re not that large a business so maybe not. lol
Was trying to put a WAP in each of the student rooms. The problem with the old network was that if say you wanted to add 10 access layer switches, well you’d need a lot of interfaces on your router, and I don’t know about you but it probably can’t run all of those maxed out at line speed. It’s better to keep the switching to the switches, ASW_A1 needs to be able to send frames to ASW_A2 without going through a router.
Hope this helps,
Cheers
