I just want to build about 100 blogs (wordpress) and let say that I can get each of this blog 2000 unique visitor a month (100 blogs x 2000 UV a month = 200.000 UV/month). My question is what type of hosting that can handle this blogs/traffics? can shared hosting handle this and what shared hosting did you use? if not, how about VPS, can VPS handle this? if yes, what VPS hosting you have experienced? I dont know about dedicated, but for now VPS is what I think for this project. Please give me your experience or your opinion?
Probably best to get a VPS as a lot of the cheap shared hosting providers will suspend/kick you for using too much resources. Wordpress sites can be quite intensive with the database usage if the traffic is high.
A medium VPS would be sufficient. Make sure that you get a minimum of 1.5 - 2 GB RAM, because your databases would consume more memory. Using a good Cache mechanism you can improve the performance. Hosting 100s of your websites on one VPS server is a risk. (Single point of failure) Please evaluate and decide. Hope that helps.
that makes sense! You can divide your plan into 100/4, so even if one h0st is down your other 75 sites will still be up. Any V.P.S or dedicated with good amount of CPU + ram can handle 50-100 wordpress installations with ease TBH, i have recently noticed that one of my clients is hosting 25+ sites on shared hosting plan with hostgator (quite surprising)
A VPS with 2 GB RAM should be more than enough, just tweak your MySQL configuration specifically for WordPress table schema (this will require a professional sysadmin or managed provider) and utilize one of WordPress caching plugin to the most.
2000 unique/month is not too much. Shared hosting will be able to handle the traffic. Just buy a reseller account then host each WP at each shared hosting.
A good reseller hosting is very sufficient for you if each site will get around 2000 unique visitor per month. Do not forget to host each blog on separate account.
I just have $100 a month for hosting so let me think first what should i do with this........ Thanks for all respond.
You can find good reseller hosting for around 25$ per month. Later you can upgrade to 1 GB VPS, which will cost you around 50$ per month.
I can help you with this! My platinum package for £5.99/$10 a month is perfect! http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2169018
In reseller you won't get SSH access to easily manage your 100 blogs, so VPS is good option, if you need more control and feature to easily manage 100 sites, and moreover 100 sites are a lot, if due to any reason reseller or shared server gets problem or overload, all your sites will face same problem, so instead go for a good VPS and put your site in that, so other sites do not has any effect in your sites slow or downtime, as VPS it will have only your site and you can keep good speed for your sites
I usually got problem with RAM, in VPS how many RAM do I need if I can achieve this traffic at least (100.000 unique visitor a month)
At a minimal I would say a VPS if each or most blogs are established with consistent traffic. Otherwise any shared plan would be fine with no traffic on any of blogs or little.
Nobody can really know that answer. What have you experienced? If you have had a problem in the past with RAM, how much were you using when you had the problem? Also, running a control panel will seriously increase the amount of RAM you need on the VPS. If you don't plan on running a control panel, I would say 1-2GB wouldn't be a bad start.
