Okay, so here's the thing. What sort of hosting am i looking at to run a adult cam chat site livecam? I am pretty sure that i will need a good configuration of dedicated hosting to get things in a pretty good way, but am not sure as to what special stuff i need. DO i need a ffmpeg enabled system or something like that? Also, which script do people commonly use to run a site like livecam dot com ? How much will a custom script cost me? Also, how much will such a capable hosting cost me? Thanks for all the help.
I am not sure about the script. But for the server, i think you should go for a decent high end one as there will be a lot of processing and memory usage. An Core i5 or a Quad core CPU, with 8GB ram and at least 1TB of space. You will need ffmpeg for sure to stream videos. You should also be looking at 100mbps network with a minimum of 5000GB bandwidth to start with. You could go for unlimited bandwidth at a later stage. Hope that helps.
Thanks that does give an idea and is definitely a help. I was looking at a Core 2 Duo processor, but think a slight premium will give me a Core i5. The site may not need to stream videos from the content as it is livecam, right? Not sure on that... 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD with 10TB bandwidth was the idea on the remaining.... Need to have an idea on the script side too. Thanks once again.
Viper, Is it New site or old site. If you starting a site, i prefer you to go for low configuration. And upgrade server when your traffic to site improves. I initially had my social networking site in low end server, and after 1 year, when traffic improved i moved to a high end dedicated server(core 2 duo). Now you get 100% managed servers for $170 per month, core2duo with 4GB is much more than what your site need( if you site is just hosted, i am sure you can't even reach 50% of server resource). Beware first year of site don't get sudden traffic rush, so gauge your response and invest in server
