What kind of server do I need to handle 10 million requests and mySQL queries a day?
- by Calvin
I'm a new bie of server administration and I'm looking for a powerful hosting service to host my new website. This website is basically a back-end of an mobile online game, and it will:
handle up to 10 million of HTTPS request and mySQL queries a day
store up to 2000 GB file on the hard disk
transfer probably 5000 GB data in and out per month
it runs on PHP and mySQL
have 10 million records in mySQL database, for each record there are 5-10 fields, around 100 bytes each
I really don't know what kind of a server I need to handle these requirements, my question is:
what cpu/ram do I need for a dedicated server or vps?
what hosting companies are able to offer this kind of dedicated server or VPS?
what about cloud computing? I've researched Amazon EC2 but it seems complicated to me. And I've contacted Rackspace but strangely they said Cloudsites is not suitable for my requirements. I wonder if there is other cloud hosting company.
any other alternative method?
thanks very much!
