I've been struggling the last few hours in trying to find a web host account that fully will support my new Boonex Prime account. This is a new site, but I expect rapid growth and eventually heavy usage.
May I ask a few questions to the group?
1. Should I begin right off with a VPS server verses just a regular web hosting account?
2. If yes, go with a VPS server, what is a good configuration? My site will be aimed at the Christian market so I expect plenty of traffic and use of the media server. I need a balance here as I'm working with a budget.
3. I just finished chatting with Host Gator (whom I like and have a reseller account with, not a VPS), and I was surprised they did not even know what Boonex or Dolphin was. Another host said I can go with a regular host account, non VPS, but they were not sure about the media server use.
It seems to me a VPS setup is what I need. Do these VPS servers seem acceptable?
A. CPU 1.13ghz, Ram 768mb, Space 30gigs, Bandwidth 500mb, about $50 a month.
B. CPU 1.98ghz, Ram 1344mb, Space 59gb, Bandwidth 1050mb, about $80 a month.
Thank you very much community for your feedback. Write me direct if needed.
