The current server setup is Intel quad core processor 4x 2 x 2.5 Harddisk space 250GB SSDx 2 + 1TB SATA x2 RAID 1 24 GB RAM / RIPE 16 IP Block Backup space on remote server ( Only daily and incremental back up) Running Centos 64 bit /php5.5/mysql/Apache/Python etc If the forum gets bigger there is option to quickly add more space / more servers . Cloud option.
I have 4-5 websites running on the server. Only drawback is current server is in a European Data Center. I would have loved to have it hosted on an Indian Datacenter, but datacenter costs in India are unreal. Proposed Software ------------------------- Drupal / Mailman. Drupal has a module which works seamlessly with Mailman. The whole setup will take 7 days to implement . If we want to go ahead , I would love to get some help with CSS, design and User interface. @Ashik Django is more a framework than a CMS and would it involve more updating plus more time for implementation , plus constant updating .
