Few Questions regarding Server Setup and Configuration

[rinku2012]

Hello,

I have few questions regarding the setup

1. how can i remove Explore and Search options on homepage. Only Admin should be viewing all latest, recent, old and other type of pics, albums and user list. how can i do this
2. Right now i have around 91,772 Images on my website and i am running on a small Vps for main site and one more small vps for all images. Right now i dont see any lag on the server, but do u guys recommend this server setup or should i move to small vps for about 10 to 20 Gb of Images ?. Please suggest
3. Right now my setup is in my images server, i have installed cpanel ( paying for vps license) and installed apache and ftp. but i guess this is bit expensive model . what is the alternative way without a cpanel. I know we can give sftp ( root logins to the folder), but what about http on bare server
4. now a days everyone are moving to cloud ( amazon, google etc). do u guys recommend me to move to cloud or normal vps should be good enough ?
5. I want to delete all old images which are not viewed no more then X days. how can i do that.
in order to scroll to old images, i need to go all the way. since i am having approximately 100,000 images how can i view old images ( say images uploaded after or before certain date)
6. One final question is how can i do publicity to the website

Hi Rinku,

1. how can i remove Explore and Search options on homepage. Only Admin should be viewing all latest, recent, old and other type of pics, albums and user list. how can i do this

Explore and Search can be removed at Dashboard > Settings > Website. Note that it will get enabled/disabled for everyone.

2. Right now i have around 91,772 Images on my website and i am running on a small Vps for main site and one more small vps for all images. Right now i dont see any lag on the server, but do u guys recommend this server setup or should i move to small vps for about 10 to 20 Gb of Images ?. Please suggest

It depends a lot of the VPS setup and hardware. If you don't see any lags then you should be fine for a while.

3. Right now my setup is in my images server, i have installed cpanel ( paying for vps license) and installed apache and ftp. but i guess this is bit expensive model . what is the alternative way without a cpanel. I know we can give sftp ( root logins to the folder), but what about http on bare server

The best and cheapest way is to have a main server for image processing and rely the image storage into external storage. You can use cheap providers like OpenStack or use SFTP if you have plenty servers out there.

4. now a days everyone are moving to cloud ( amazon, google etc). do u guys recommend me to move to cloud or normal vps should be good enough ?

That highly depends on the provider. Some cloud providers are superb and other ones are not that great.

5. I want to delete all old images which are not viewed no more then X days. how can i do that.

That feature doesn't exists yet for Chevereto.

6. One final question is how can i do publicity to the website
