what hosting needed for 50k plus visits per day
 

I wonder what hosting is needed to have for 50k visits per day and a few 100 online at the same time...
I use arvixe now but need to upgrade, have heard many complaints about them so im looking out for something good...

any ideas???

anyone?????

this is not an easy question to answer without any information.

like what exactly you do on the server, etc

to help you one needs at least average memory/cpu usage of each web request.

you want to avoid swapping as much as possible I guess.

well im talking about a datingsite with cam2cam, a few milion members and around 50k visits per day and rising, a few 100 online at the same time for cam2cam...

maybe a vps ?

I need a dedicated server, but what type and where and what price? I see arvixe have from 100$ up to 1000$ and more per month...

This is a pretty open question.

50k day is pretty low... most single quad systems with 8g+ ram and 2+ sata drives would handle it as long as its not toooo bad/heavy with random vs squential data being hit at once.

its all about the pattern of your traffic /what you are trying to do.

Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or would like to see some pricing.

well im opening a datingsite, and 50k is to low, its more a few 100k per day i think.

good luck DCT

Check out DigitalOcean's offer for SSD cloud hosting

$80/mo: 8GB Memory 4 Cores 80GB SSD 5TB Bandwidth
$160/mo: 16GB RAM 8 Cores 160GB SSD 6TB Bandwidth
$320/mo: 32GB RAM 12 Cores 320GB SSD 7TB Bandwidth

I'm not sure the $80 plan can handle your 50k/day unless you optimize your server really well but the $160 one should do the trick. I doubt you can find a dedicated host with those specs for this price having SSD disk.

isprime.com or reflected.net

if you can afford them.

why not send your data to several hoster and see what they offer/suggest? Compare and ask further questions. In my opinion a good way to start finding the right package.

thanks guys, I will ask several :D

50k a day! Congratz:thumbsup

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!

well my hosting acount now can take that amount, but when i reach 500k per day its better to change.

50k per day is not much and you can host it on hostgator baby plan if your site is coded right :) also don't forget to use cloudflare saves loads of bandwidth and computing power.

(vps is usually worse then shared hosting, especially if you buy cheap one)

You can already get dedicated server at ovh.us for around 30$... I'd go for that (if you don't need much traffic cos it's 5TB limit). But you got unlimited traffic already for 80$/month... If you got 50k per day im sure you can afford it.

it's not about hosting - it's about how is the system setup and optimized

ssd hosting will never fail under stress

I second the Digital Ocean suggestion: it's a robust hosting with flexible plans on both US/EU datacenters (something important for me).

I've some projects running on DO, that are a mix of a somewhat busy DB + lots of static files, and so far so good.

I would suggest you go with our ssd hosting, with our auto backup and cloud flare integration you are certain your site is really fast and never goes down.

It is all in the optimization of the server. Our ssd cloud server can handle your traffic with easy and we actively monitor each server and improve them to bring even more stability to your site.
