I need suggestion for a web server
I'm in the process to build some service:
emails web sites blogs mailing-lists revision control (git/hg/cvs) microblogging console access is a non-profit project offered on a friend-to-friend basis but now I don't know how many people can/need use this service. I need some suggestion about the hardware requirements: disk space, RAM, CPU cores, bandwidth. What is the best way? VPS or colocation? thank you fstef |

It'd be nice if you had a rough idea of the number of users. 10? 100? 1000? But, you can start small and always upgrade to a larger server later.
I don't use VPS, but it's cheap, easy to upgrade the hardware, and you get console access. I went with a dedicated server which you can get for close to the price of a VPS. I chose dedicated over VPS purely for the reason that I didn't want other people's code running on the same hardware as mine. It's excessive paranoia. I can get temporary console access by request but it's not permanent or secure. It also gave me the option for more hard drive space (they are spinning disks, not SSDs) because I wanted to use the server for remote backups of my home systems. Since my server is for personal use, it's hard to recommend hardware for your needs. Tim. |
