My company, Peer 1 Network, hosts WordPress and our “Rapid Edge CDN” (content delivery network) would work great for the static content and video downloads mentioned above in Paul Tan’s post.

Here are links to our sites if you wish to explore more:

I would be happy to answer any questions anyone may have in regards to dedicated hosting and CDN.

FYI, most 100% uptime shared hosting do not accept high traffic website because it is “risky” to their uptime record.

@palmdoc: sounds like your hosting provider is over-over-selling the resourses.

luckily I don’t host videos, else I will use more bandwidth. I only have pictures and text on liewcf.com.

WoW! Thats amazing b/w usage figures for a blog. Congrats Liew! on this acheivement. I will recomend to use Site5 hosting for your blog, it’s more reliable and headache free than a dedicated server. They have uptime of 100%.

Palmdoc, i dont think that is enough to cause problems in my exp, your hosts server might be overloaded or something weird.

btw, VPS not recommended. usually only 128 to 256 RAM, you can’t benefit from MySQL query cache.

I recently moved to a new dedicated server for my Wordpress installation. My site currently uses 2 dedicated servers, one for static media and video, the other for Wordpress and PHP. Bandwidth is over 1TB a month :O

I’m considering http://www.cachefly.com CDN for the static media and video hosting, perhaps you should too.

Google analytics says about 1400 page views a day

By: Ben

Ben — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 01:39:57 +0000

Hmm only 420 a day shouldn’t do it, do the other blogs get any traffic? how many page views?

By: Palmdoc

Palmdoc — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 01:26:38 +0000

Yes only Wordpress applications for the php/mysql on that site. But there are 3 WP blogs.
Google analytics says about 420 unique visitors a day

Ya it probably would, how many visitors are you getting a day? Is the only php / mysql you are running wordpress?

By: Palmdoc

Palmdoc — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 01:03:12 +0000

Wow 1 Gb a day. My site’s stats shows about 5 Gb a month. Yet I experienced problems with my hosting (Emerge) which claimed “resource” problems. From time to time, I still get “PHP violation errors”.
Would the WP-Cache plugin help I wonder?

Can consider the webhost I use WebHostingBuzz.com.

Hi LCF, Consider MediaTemple… techCrunch uses them – and they seem pretty darn cheap… and they are so confident of uptime – they PAY you if they go down.

Thanks for the suggestions. If my reseller account cannot handle anymore, I will get a fully managed dedicated server and not a VPS. Maybe next year?

Hi Liew, try uploading large images to free image servers. Bandwidth will be an issue with shared hostings, unless you are on dedicated server with unlimited bandwidth (or 300+ GB/month).

Check out pair.com or serverpronto.com for dedicated servers. I am on pair.com and it’s been no problem for many many years…
