Who Would Be A Reliable Dedicated Web Host For A Relatively Large MP3 Site? Hi there, I am searching for a reliable dedicated hosting company that will be able to meet the needs of my future music site. On my site, users will be able to upload/ download mp3's as well as upload photos. I am not entirely sure what I am going to need in terms of plans, or how many page views(est: >300,000)/ mp3 downloads I will be getting a month, but know that I want to be on the safe side, and insure that there will not be a server overload, allowing at least several hundred people to access the site at the same time, without it slowing down. Users will be able to preview music as well , and I want to make sure that this function works smoothly without having connection issues due to too much activity at any given time. I am not entirely sure how many users will be uploading music, however, I am estimating that I will have over 50 GB of music on the site. I need a cost-effective solution, but do not want to cut corners with a plan that cannot support the site. Thank you! Sorry for not mentioning--these mp3's will be copyrighted by the users who uploaded. There will be absolutely no piracy on the site. Also meant to add, I have no interest in using shared hosting--These shared hosting companies sometimes put thousands of sites on the same server, and cannot deliver on the amount of transfer/storage that they offer. The sites have a "fair use" clause, and will instantly shut one's site down, if it's clogging up the server. Just to clarify, I am NOT expecting at least 300,000 downloads a month, but 300,000 page views. This is a very rough estimate, but would be about 10,000 page views a day.

How much to budget for web hosting? I'm starting a web site that will include research & commentary on a particular industry, as well as a forum and links to news items of interest. Right now I have a $6.95 hosting plan that includes 350GB storage and 3500 GB/month bandwidth. I have no idea how much traffic this site will get and whether my current plan will be adequate. If I have Google ads on the site, will I always be able to cover my hosting expenses? Are there web hosts that allow you to scale up to a higher plan or a dedicated server, rather than charging for excess traffic? Out of curiosity, how much do you think ultra-popular sites like drudgereport.com or perezhilton.com spend on hosting?

Advice and suggestions on web hosting companies? I've been looking for a webhost to host 3 different sties I have under 1 plan. I don't need a dedicated server or anything big and fancy (yet). I use Yahoo now for one of my sites but they don't support hosting multiple domains on one plan. That is a must for me. So far I'm considering BlueHost, DreamHost, and IPowerWeb. Any thoughts on them? Are there any other hosts I should consider? Are there any good web hosting catalogs with user reviews? I looked for user reviews web hosting providers and I didn't have much luck. @#Red and others: I will not click affiliate links or any links which appear to have referal code.

Is there any type of "regular maintanence" that needs to be done with Linux web servers? Pretty straightforward. I'm a designer looking to upgrade to a dedicated server hosting plan, but as the host does not manage the server themselves, I am wondering if I'll need outside help. I can work my way around SSH and install apps and such, but don't know much about maintaining a server, if this is needed.

Web Host Question? 1) Whats the different between Hosting Plan and Server Plan, "Ex. Godaddy.com" Hosting Plan, Vitual Server, and Dedicated Server? 2) Why would someone pay 79.99 when you can pay 14.99 for something similar and cheaper? Ex. a - Godaddy Premium Plan (Regular) $14.99/mo for 200GB Space & 2000GB bandwidth. b - Godaddy Preconfigured Deluxe (Dedicated) $79.99/mo 2x120 GB Space & 500GB bandwidth 3) The highest bandwidth offered from a web host I saw goes up to 3600GB. I know that Youtube, Megaupload, and Rapidshare use more bandwidth then that, but where and how do they get it? If I were to host videos like youtube where would i get the bandwidth from. Do I put servers or host together? If so how would I do that?

More RAM or a better CPU? Hi there. I just purchased a clearance server from a dedicated web host. The primary purpose of the server is for web hosting only. I was wondering if more RAM or a better CPU would be best to improve the server's performance. I am not planning on upgrading, but in case I want to, I wanted to know what option woud be best. [I have also been told Celeron processors have a bug where they can spike to 100% load in no time; true/false?] Specs: Celeron 3.0 GHz Processor, 1024MB RAM Thanks, Jared

How to setup a web server in a Data center? I’ve been doing web dev for a few years now with my sites being hosted on a shared server.I'm getting a dedicated machine,but a voice in my head is saying "do it yourself." I’ll have my own server & a possibility of having resellers. My educational background is in Sys Admin,so I have a understanding of what's needed to setup,secure & maintain systems,but I still need some info. I've come up with a very basic plan of what I think is required: 1. Get a server + setup software (Debian / Redhat + Antivirus? + Network Security? + PHP / MYSQL etc + Cpanel / WHM) 2. Find a data center 3. Find a Teleco to connect the server to the net 4. Maintain system (security+performance) with patches & software updates Although I need to do more research for step 1 & 4,my main concern is 2 & 3.What do I ask the DC & Telco?Do I setup the server offsite,then send it to the DC for them to connect,or do I personally go in & do it myself?When calling the Telco,what info should I have on hand?
