    Host your site on a small dedicated server - we have a Dual E5420, 8GB RAM, 500GB disk for $20/month or $200/year

    If you find that your images are lagging the site, offload them to our objectstore and serve the thumbs, previews from there and the downloadables using one-time URLs ont the objectstore.

    That's what I call a solution. However, OP live in central Europe, do you also have objecstore near OP's location?

  • peter327 said: thx about dedicated servers - but that is higher league for me.

    Same as VPS except without the neighbor problem. Same process to set it up but you know you can always max ALL of your purchases resources ALL the time.

  • You don't even need a VPS for that IMHO but "any" will do in your case.

  • @peter327 NO!!!!!! don't use dedicated server if you still new to *nix and still learn to manage your server. Don't listen whatever dedi provider said LOL.

    DigitalOcean more than enough for your need. even shared hosting will do.

    nice try to promote every service you have. He/she don't need that.

    SSD is good for image hosting. KVM will be better than OpenVZ because you'll be more certain about how much disk is actually allocated. Out of the providers you listed, I would honestly just go with Digital Ocean. You can just get a small plan as scale up as you have more photos and visitors.

  • You should check out a provider like iwStack or DigitalOcean, you don't need anything huge for a project like this.

  • If you are serving static photos, then ANY of the above will work, even shared hosting.

    However, if you are serving photos with a dynamic script, then "Cloud" works better, and SSD will be a plus, but not strictly required.

  • I'd suggest one of those:

    http://www.prometeus.net/site/kvm-vps.php -> KVMSSD5
    or
    https://www.ovh.ie/vps/vps-ssd.xml -> VPS SSD 1

    Both could easily handle 400 visits a day. If we assume one gallery really has 15mb and an average visitor browses 2 of them we have 400 * 30mb + some overhead ~ 15GB of traffic per day ~ 500GB traffic per month.

    You know how to edit but you double post for correcting a line break. Why?

    Sometimes post button doesn't work instantaneously, you hit twice thinking it didn't send. Especially when you are on mobile. Been there, done that.
