    Hi,

    ClamHost could offer you a solution to this. we can offer you a Fully Managed Solution. with a clustered solution so that you can handle the 500k uv/day. Including DDoS Mitigation up to 100Gbps. Our nginx configurations can handle up to 15k requests/sec depending on the Application with only a couple of VPS.

    Please also state your budget so we can give you the best recommendation.

  • I suggest a VPS with providers that use OVH or Online.net since their both DDoS protected and networks are great.

    Additionally BuyVM or RamNode.

    Could you also let us know you're budget... If you want something fully managed I may have an offer.

  • Wable and Linode come to mind.

  • How about a d3dicated server instead?

    For this kind of application, one would need to have distributed setup for failover and to better cope with fluctuations in load.

  • Dedicated servers are cheap, I see high page view websites like yours impacted by resource abusing VPS servers. I wouldn't risk such a site with VPS hosting.

    If you have these much page views better go with dedicated. Also would you mind sharing which website is it?

    Yup, I'm curious too :)

  • This dedicated is $20/month (paid quarterly) - Dual X5150, 16GB RAM, 500GB disk and 5TB transfer with gigabit port. http://www.delimitervps.com/landingpage/servers2015/?p=X515016500

    A good chunk of the 16GB RAM you can use for Varnish to heavy cache content and take the load off the backend and disk.

    With it being a dedicated as @doughmanes and @praveen point out, better to have 100% of the resources for you, rather than sharing a server with XX number of others all contending for Disk IO, Network and CPU.

  • What @MarkTurner said makes a lot of sense if your content is Vanilla wordpress.

    'Enough' RAM can do wonders for performance using Varnish (+ large Mysql Query Cache for even more complex query driven sites).

    You do need to build a little disaster protection for your blog's database though.(Mysql seems to know a hundred ways to corrupt its DBs)

    The $20 special has single hdd; it will fail someday, sometimes without enough warning .

    Protection could be as simple as Incremental Percona Xtrabackup(works only with InnoDb tables)

    or

    if your DB is small, a little cronjob to perform mysqldump in the middle of the night, and FTP/rsync it somewhere safe.

    If your audience is primarily Europe, picking up a powerful i7 dedicated from Hetzner's server-bidding site for about $25 is also a great deal. (software RAID1 too)

    Just google it.

    Why don't you tell him your price instead of asking him his budget? If you need more info, fine, but asking him "how much do you want to spend" implies you want to charge him as much as possible up to that limit.

  • @vimalware - second disk would definitely be a critical plan. The '$20 special' has a hardware RAID controller on it, so you just need an extra disk if you want it.

    Oh Nice. What's the total with second 500gb disk?

    Could you post HP raid controller model?

  • @vimalware - On the X5150, they are built into the blade server:

    0b:08.0 RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array E200i (SAS Controller)

    As the systems grow, for example on the L5520 blades its an P410i.

    Additional disk is $10/month.

    If he is an adsense publisher, definitely he won't tell my bro :p

    Or it could mean "we want to offer you the best possible configuration for the amount of money you want to spend."

    When you ask a client to give a budget, that's the amount of money he's willing to spend anyways. A budget is only requested in order to offer the best suited package, or sometimes to even give small discounts to make current packages fit within a client's budget.

    Would be much appreciated if you thought about your statement from a hosting provider's point of view.

  • We can provide you a vps, 8Gb RAM 5 core cpu for $40/month. Is your site on a vps a now?

  • If you have this many visitors we should.be.looking at a HA cluster

  • said: my site is powered by wordpress, it have 500,000 pageviews per day, i need a good vps hosting that can carry the traffic

    Have you thought about using Cloudflare or Incapsula to offload the traffic?

    +1 on Incapsula. You can save 60% or even more traffic (depending on your site). No need for anything too powerful, provided you use caching plugins efficiently.

  • I don't know about wordpress; don't use it.

    But I know that 500Kp/d translates to roughly 5 dot something per second. Which is not a ballpark range requiring major iron.

    Now, assuming that that wordpress is a resource monster (not out of evil intention but to have a sound reserve in my thinking) 5 or 10 or even 20 p/s (assumed high noon load) isn't anything any decent 512MB VPS with 2 cores couldn't easily and comfortably serve.

    Any whatsoever finetuning of say, nginx, would be luxurious (and welcome but not survival-critical).

    About the only potential tight spot I see here is to make sure the DB is configured reasonably and has enough RAM to breathe (indices, buffers, ...).

    Congrats to your visitor numbers and success, @exponent22, but you are still far below the point where you need to seriously worry about the iron to run your site on.

    Get yourself a decent VPS, preferably XEN or KVM, with 512MB (or 1024MB to feel secure and well prepared), 2 or 3 cores, and fast RAID10'd disks and you're done ;)

  • I could only think of porn that can do this much traffic. Which many host don't permit

    Well I happen to know quite some forums (most non-adult) of all kinds that easily have more traffic/hit/pis.

    5-10 pi/s is small pie.

  • Take any of reputable VPS providers (or dedi) and install easyengine (https://rtcamp.com/easyengine/) and you can you handle few times more traffic.

    But he must optimize MySql from standard EE installation too..
