Scalable hosting?

by MemberWing
1 replies
I will be launching an online service that will start small but has pretty big viral growing potential up to the skies.

The service has PHP/MySQL backend and will be serving rather small files (up to 50k each max) - but a lots of them simultaneously.

Traffic is expected to grow exponentially as well.

Which hosting solution will be able to accomodate this requirement?

I am looking for "auto" scalable infrastructures, sort of like amazon CDN/S3
but with an added flavor of handling growing rate of MySQL DB + HTTP requests.

    I would suggest looking into Amazon EC2, but I don't know how well that would work with MySQL. It would work, just not sure how "scalable" the MySQL DB would be because I haven't looked into it too much. If you go with EC2 you might want to use Amazon's SimpleDB instead of MySQL for your database, just to make sure everything stays scalable without having to do too much extra work.
