If you don't mind me asking what are some tips you recommend to reach that traffic level? Thats pretty cool.
That is pretty good. What did you so in a nutshell?
To your question - A few things depend if you want to save some money. Your database queries, how efficient your web site is programmed and how long each page request generally takes which you can find out with some simple (read on apache benchmark) benchmarking tests. You might also want to evaluate the scalability of your code and system design if you expect it to grow, cause you will just see yourself again in this same situation of needing a better host and costing you more money.
I always recommend a dedicated server. What web programming language / framework are you using? NodeJS is pretty new and super fast for a frontend web server that can hand off tasks to other servers in AmazonAWS and you can just pay as you go, but that all depends on how the engineering of your website(s) are set up. I would recommend offloading the processing of the cam2cam functionality to seprate servers because they ar ejust handling data and not serving porn content, so you will have some more flexibility. I dont mean to be intrusive, I'm sure youve done lots of hard work to your design but Im just covering the checklist hope theres something in there that helps you.
I would learn up a little bit on high availability websites if you havent already or whenever you have the chance, or do not have a full time technical team.
Doing this, you might be able to find some flaws in your code that make it take longer, which might make you require more resource and cost you more. If you have an IT team, they can assist you with this.
Good luck!
