I plan on launching a new site in a few months, and am looking for a hosting package at the moment. I'm going to go with liquidweb since their servers are fully managed and fully scalable. I'm only expecting around 30-50,000 unique visitors a month to start off. I'm not too worried about bandwidth. However, I am expecting to hit front page on social media sites at least a few times. So, I will need something that could survive 25,000 (or more) visitors in one day if it comes down to it. From what I understand, ram should be my main concern with large bursts of traffic. Here's the VPS package that I was planning to start with: https://www.liquidweb.com/cart/content/vps/VPS/Plan2 (with the upgraded 1024mb ram) Would that survive front page on social media sites? The other option is just going straight to dedicated and purchasing this plan: https://www.liquidweb.com/cart/content/dedicated/Webmaster/Plan1 (with 2gb of ram, which can easily be upgraded to 4gb of ram). I'm trying to keep my server costs at a minimum until traffic begins to increase over the first few months. However, I don't want the server crashing and losing first time visitors. Suggestions?
yes the front page would survive as the liquidweb provides large ram as well as using it u get many viewers in a limited time as it has been managed nd designed very systmatically
