Hi all,
What can I do with around $100/month if I need dedicated hosting with a managed server (no real technophiles will be running this thing) for a vBulletin site with up to 100 concurrent users? From what I know, the site pushes about 2-3GB of traffic/day, but the real issue is the processor. The site curently consumes between about 25% and 50% of both processors in a dual Opteron 244 (I'm assuming 1GB RAM, but not sure).
The person currently managing the server reports that we had major performance gains by installing eAccelerator, but in addition to this, the site is running under Lighttpd, which is faster, but more importantly, consumes a lot less ram. Under apache, the site was using 500-600MB of ram. Lighttpd brings this down to a far more reasonable number of about 200MB.
Again - we've got around $100/month to spend and really need great support and service. What should we be looking for in terms of a provider (and hardware)?
TIA!!!
