looking at slicehost and a couple other hosts but I am not
sure of the size host I should get (or even the best
company to go with). The website runs OSCommerce,
Wordpress, Zenphoto, IMAP, Roundcube (or other webmail)
and one or two various web apps for testing. She also
hosts short term, low traffic websites for misc uses.
Any ideas on proper sizing?
How much traffic per day does the server get? How much disk space do all the
things installed and all the user data take up? What's the average load on
the machine? The answers to those questions will determine the size of the
host you need. I'm using the smallest slicehost available because I just
don't need that much CPU.
I did a 'show and tell' talkthrough at a UAT meeting perhaps 6
weeks ago, of the 'pmman' virtual server product. One aspect
it has is an ability to dial up ram and hard drive space (and
bandwidth soft-caps) after the base install under the end
user's control, in just seconds
Steve, please contact me offlist for a 30 day trial instance,
gratis, to see if it meets your needs.
