Server Advice From Hosting Pro's!

Hi

Since the warriorforum always has helped me I try here for
some advice. I am looking for a dedicated server who can
support the following:

5-10,000 vistors on site at the same time, filling out forms
upload videos/music so (FFmpeg needed) and site must work fast
and never have problems handle that traffic.

I have looked at iweb.com and cPanel Website hosting, Reseller hosting, VPS Hosting, Dedicated Server hosting and FFmpeg Hosting by AptHost.

However what is it I should look for here. I am not a server
expert. I assume I need a fast CPU, over 2 GB RAM and 100
Mbps port speed. What more?

Is there any warriors who have server for this? I need this
yesterday so any advice I would appreciate.

Thanks,

Daniel

    Hi Daniel,

    Here is what I suggest. I have a customer that recently signed up and had similar requirements. Below is what he had for specs

    Core2Quad
    4 gig ram (or 8 if in the budget)
    2 x 500(raid 1)
    cPanel
    100 mbps switch

    I believe he will be upgrading his hard drive space fairly soon, as his site is growing pretty heavily.

    Good luck on your search.

      And some other features. Wish me luck

    Who did you end up going with? Was it a managed server?
