Large Scale Hosting Solution
 

I run a tube site that is top 10k Alexa with growing traffic. We are 100% legal and host all of our own content. Scaling forward what is the cheapest and best solution to host the site? Anyone out there provide large site hosting solutions?

Amerinoc, they offer tons of bandwidth with managed servers for cheap prices.

What does semi-managed include?

I have dozens of customers who are high traffic pay site owners hosted at MojoHost and all are pretty happy with the service and pricing.

Good luck with the search :thumbsup

When I hear 'Large' I think MojoHost

Hi Duke, I would be happy to help you with a redundant and scalable hosting solution that best meets your needs. Please feel free to contact me directly.

Thank you!

Duke,

I dropped you an email this morning, let's talk about getting you on the best host in the industry. We'll put together a solution that will fit your exact needs. Don't settle for the cheapest, go with the best.

I look forward to talking with you. If you like you can hit me up on my ICQ or email below.

Thanks

You have to answer the question yourself about whether you want to get a cheaper host or more expensive host. Usually higher price means higher quality, but not always. Take a look through different hosts carefully to make your final decision. Many useful replies were posted in this thread. See all the different features that different hosts offer. Look through 20, 30, or 50 hosts.

Agreed. They've done some very large and intricate stuff for me in the past.

oh fatfool i missed you

:2 cents::thumbsup

Holy shit! lol :1orglaugh

I would like to discuss this with you in more details if you are still looking. M3Server has your solution.

Wow your not going to be very cheap, you need a power house server maybe two and a gig-e to yourself. I would assume $3k a month, but we wouldn't mess with it. The business to give so much for free just hurts others and wastes everyone's money.

Maybe get a small connection at your house and let the users fight over who can try and squeeze in.

We have a nice hardware and software setup we came up with after a lot of testing with a legal tube-like site pushing 400 Mbps (120,000 GB / month). By choosing the RIGHT configuration, we kept it simple and not too costly.

Whereever you host, whether with us or more likely somewhere else, we can consult with you on what you actually need so that the server you get fits your needs without going way overboard.

Once you get beyond the basic "typical" server, it's VERY common to go way overboard on some components and not do enough on others. For example, your bottleneck will be IO throughout. Your CPUs should see little load. So you want to spend your money on drives and network cards, NOT on CPUs.

Similarly, we see people set up complicated, error prone clusters of three servers with one or two drives each. Putting those same six drives together in the same chassis will give higher performance, lower cost, and a far fewer problems. When you're talking about performance (not HA), the extra problems a cluster brings are appropriate when you outgrow our 16 drive, two quad core CPU, 32 GB RAM server.

(Clustering for HA is an entirely different topic., with a different type of configuration for different reasons than a cluster for scalability.)

With us Help with scripts keeping server updated etc

Contact me via icq or email, we have experience in code modification of a few tube scripts to scale that is cost effective for the customer. We've been managing some large tubes for a few years now. We have a whole life cycle design for scaling these monsters.

hit me up if your interested.

There's no such thing as "cheapest and best". You either want the cheapest host that will fuck your shit up or you want the best. See sig for the best. I've been with Amerinoc over 10 years and counting because they're simply the best.

Strange reply.

Laughing at your potential customers - must be a new marketing technique!!
