the idea of separating apache and mysql into two different server seems to be not that good when it comes to server security…

yuga/gmtristan - check webhostingtalk.com before getting your host, check for their review, there are threads about media temple thats why I didnt get a host from media temple yet, im stil checking their reviews.

@GMTristan - have you tried doing some caching for your WP like the SuperCache? Or if you hosta lot of media files, you may want to remote host most of them to save up on bandwidth. You may want to look into MediaTemple later on though.

For people who cant afford a dedicated server you can try a host that uses a grid server technology or a something like split shared technology, actually im planning to move to a split shared host but im still reviewing this host its $25/month compared to my current host which is $9/month so theres a big difference.

Ey Abe, am clocking in at around 3K per day now. Got a bandwith limit error already on my host. Got suggestions on which hosting plan has most bang for the buck?

Thanks

I use rdns between 4 quad xeons for mp3-codes.com. consuming about 200TB’s of bandwidth/month.

Very nice tip! I agree to Lintek for his comment. I know there are few hosting company that host highly traffic website like media temple. In hostmonster they host 15terabyte of hosting space and transfer.

By the way nice mobile website this post via mobile device.

Keep up the good post abe!

- Use a software/hardware Load Balancer.
- If your memory is ok, the bottleneck usually is MySQL. Do a MySQL replication to distribute the mysql load to multiple servers without compromising data integrity.
- Cache ,cache and cache. Opcode caching is ok. Memcache would be best if you set up a clustered server.

Nice server optimization tips. If you are “earning much” from your blogs then I would like to add the idea of co-locating your servers to a nice colo-company where you can get a bigger bandwidth (T1/E1/T3/DS3/ATM etc) at a lower price.

Thanks for the tips Abe, I was contemplating the same thing… Got a directory site before with huge traffic which 90% are bots. I didn’t receive any notice from a Phil. host, they just closed the account. So it is always good to have a dedicated hosting…
