Hello, I'm looking for a dedicated hosting for a client.
Currently he has one membership site (mostly FLV videos 300-700MB) using:
* disk space used: 34 GB
* average monthly traffic: 2000 GB
* yearly port traffic chart is attached.
Additionally to his traffic, he plans to do 4 x one hour live shows a month. So it's 240 minutes / 300kbps stream / 250 users (live stream to server, then Flash stream is encoded and forwarded to users). According to my calculations this will consume additionally:
* 128.75 GB a month
* 73.24 mbps port at peaks (all users)
I suppose he might need at least Intel 2Ghz CPU, 2 GB RAM to run also a Flash streaming server like Red5 on the same machine. If your recommendations differ, please advice.
He needs managed hosting, however I can do simple stuff myself (changing Apache/PHP/MySQL settings). Apart from the live stream and Flash encoding, software requirements are pretty simple.
So please provide your offer:
* hardware config
* software config (please no windows servers)
* what traffic / port (metered, unmetered, 95% percentile) you recommend / offer
* how much is overage GB on metered servers
* price per month / setup fee (if any)
* what kind of control panel is included
* is Red5 installation included in setup?
* if you offer Wowza, how much is monthly lease?
* how many IPs are included / how much is additinal IP?
