Arvixe Hosting Questions

[Kayz]

Hi guys I have some serious questions to ask regarding Arvixe Hosting.

I run a successful image hosting website with over 1 million images (including adult material) using approximately over 200GB of disk space and a lot of bandwidth. I am also using Cloud Flare and I am currently hosting on a dedicated server with other client websites.

At the current moment I have 1TB of disk space in total of which I am using up 75% of it. My server stores daily, weekly and monthly backups of all the sites on my server. Which means it stores x3 backups of every site including my image hosting website taking up a lot of space.

I am soon running out of disk space, my question is if I join Arvixe Hosting will they be able to manage my website?

- How much space will I get? Is there a cap or fair use policy?
- I have over 1 million images hosted,
- I need more than 200GB of space (minimum requirement 600GB),
- Even with Cloud Flare I use over 350 GB bandwidth per month,
- I host Adult Content,
- I intend to move over only my image hosting website,
- I require apache v. 2.2.9+
- I require PHP v. 5.4.37+

I am open to suggestions

Hear from you soon

Dedicated disk space 100GB?

 

[Rodolfo]

Servers are based on what you will do with them and Arvixe servers are more likely suitable for computing (CPU/RAM) rather than storage. For image hosting you need both computing and storage. In my opinion, best thing to do is to go with a server with good computing capacity and then use external storage like Amazon S3. If you want an all-in-one server you will find out that 1) is expensive or 2) network is awful.

Amazon S3 sounds good, it sounds like the only probable solution. Just been on their site and it's very confusing not straight forward at all.

I'll make a separate thread and see what help I can get from others.

Thanks Rodolfo
