Hi all

I am looking for a strong server that should deal with 500k pop under worldwide traffic a day, for a static page that weighs around 20kb. Upload time is crucial here

Any recommendations here?

I am looking for lowest price possible

thanks
 


that's not a particularly high amount of traffic in itself,

20KB page+ images? how many actual requests per page view to your server?

a cheap VPS could deal with that easily.

use a CDN (maxCDN?) if you want speed, globally
 
Hi there

20k total of page. 300-500k hits a day. I already checked maxcdn but a lot of traffic comes from india and they don't have a local server in india

the size doesn't matter too much, what matters is how many requests per page, i.e. page itself, external css/js, images etc.

for example, 1 page request + 1 css file, 1 js file and 4 images = 7 total requests per page view = 7 * 500k requests = 3.5m requests per day. This is more significant as you're well over 20 requests per second at peak instead of 3-4.

ok so maxcdn doesnt have a local server in india - are you saying you need indian hosting? otherwise maxcdn will still likely be faster.
 
Hi
I need worldwide but india is a major source

Its a 20k page including all

The thing with mobile is that i need an extremely fast upload time

As long as it's nothing illegal and you don't mind spending a bit of money, you can get touch with Bitgravity (owned by the folks at TATA)

Also, MaxCDN does have an Asia POP, their POP is located in Singapore which is pretty near and super high speed. So you may want to test it out.
 
Thanks

Its 100% legal

I want to keep costs as low as possible

Then I recommend getting a MaxCDN account and testing it out rigorously for a few weeks. Remember to add the Asia POP when creating your account so that your page is served from Singapore.


Amazing advice, never knew about BitGravity.
 
My advice for you

For high traffic sites I recommend Amazon, a little bit expensive than others but at least I'm sleeping well during the night.
 
i have tried LEASEweb ... fro my streaming website so i will recommend their servers bcz they are reliable and strong enough to handle big load ... in my experience they can handle 1000+/ sec and quite reliable ... once it found load issue but later with tutorial i shut my awstats and other apps and then my load got balanced again....
 
If that traffic is evenly spread out over a month period, then it's ideal for you. If you have peaks, you should calculcate the server specs based around those peaks. But to give you a general recommendation, a simple VPS will do with a e3 or e5 processor and 8GB RAM.
 
well mentioned

you have mentioned very well but if he have spikes at certain time then that would be a issue else normal server with 8 GB is quite enough ...:anon.sml:

Nothing that cannot be solved. You just calculate the used resources during those peaks, and pick a VPS/server accordingly.

Nothing worse than having downtime during profitable peaks.
