    Hello to everyone,

    After almost a year of hard work, our project is finally ready to face the world. Short cut image: 4 websites - 8 domains: 4 main, 4 forwarders. Traffic – predictions per website: within 6-9 months reach 1-2 million per month.
    So how you can see the project is quiet big and will require a lot of maintenance. That’s way we are looking for a best solution to hosting such a big project.
    Here are main criteria at what we want and what we can:

    • The Budget is $100-200 per month
    • Fully managed server
    • 99.9% uptime
    • Security and Antivirus
    • Speed
    • 24/7 support

    We had some suggestions about the Dedicated, Cloud, and AWS hosting environments. But what You think ????
    Any suggestions or guidance’s will be very helpful.

    Thank You and appreciate for your help!

    p.s.
    Our experience is only with shared/reseller hosting!


    :)

    You have a reasonable budget and you should be able to find a fully managed solution without any issues.

    A VPS or Dedicated server sounds to be most suitable for your needs. You should look for a solution in which you'll be able yo scale up/down as your sites receive more visitors which is what you're anticipating.

    Thank You for your suggestion igxhost-carl appreciate for your interest!
    You absolute correct – we looking for very flexible/scalable package. That’s why we very interesting in the AWS hosting environment, but problem is that we don’t have a knowledge or experience in Self Server Management. So, our view has to be Fully Managed Server!

    You may want to look over ServInt (http://www.servint.net/) they offer very good and powerful Managed VPSs and dedicated servers.

    Hi,

    If you are dead serious , which you are, i suggest going straight for a dedicated server, or even two and get some load balancers etc. (from a well known with high uptime data center)

    That way you can provide your site and be sure that it will remain up, especially when you are asleep :D

    regards :)

    I think you have a very good budget for dedicated server.
    Chosing dedicated server pay more attention to it's location.
    That is important for your potential visitors

    For $200 per month you will be able to have good dedicated server and management. I believe a lot of web hosting companies will be able provide that. But everyuthing will depend on your server configuration
