Hello, i have 2 websites with 25k unique visitors. they are autoblog websites, so they grab posts from rss. both websites use wordpress what kind of server do i need? i heard i7 core is actually not good? what kind of server do i need?
i7 are good enough. The one who said that is probably a noob. Xeons are better and designed for servers. The iX series are originally not designed for server envoirement.
Is it 25k unique visitors Per Day? If YES then certainly you will have to consider a high end dedicated server with huge Memory and Processing power. Yes, i5 or i7 both are better and have good processing power. It also depends on your budget
25k/day is not a big deal. By using PHP caching, your site will work fine even with an Atom-powered server.
Had good luck with the AMD X6 and the I7. Also what OS will you be running? Are you using a control panel? How much ram are you looking to get?
Go with the Xeon servers..It will best suited to you if it comes under your budget or just a simple configuaration can boost your website in even core ix servers ..
An intel xeon server with 8 Gb ram will be good enough. If your budget is low you can also do with a 4 Gb ram.
An intel Xeon E3 1230 with 8 Gb ram will run about the same price than a Core i7 with 8GB ram. I would highly recommend the xeon over the Corei7 for stability and scalibility
