This post is old already, to keep it current and keep up with the latest, Clouding Computing technology such as the one offered by Amazon EC2 is worth looking at. It may not be the cheapest but some might go this way.

This way, it is very easy to scale-up or scale-out your infrastructure. Just choose what type of server instance depending on your memory and cpu needs. You can also choose small instances and and add more small instances during high traffic — the best part is you can even script this process. Here you pay by the hour, so during low traffic you can terminate some of the services instances. Cool huh.

Oh btw, did I mention that we already have an Amazon Asia Pacific? It’s in Singapore and just a few hops away from most Philippine based ISPs.

Do I sound like a salesman now?

For those who want a blog site. Please let me know. If you want a domain and a hosting I can help you with this with or w/out credit card. Php2500 annual for a blog site is not to much..

Good to know that high traffic blogging needs you to have a server optimization. Actually server optimization is kinda hard thing to do. But if you have an experience doing some linux server installation and configuration it will be fine..

Dedicated Server/ Shared hosting is OK!. But for a student like me..It’s hard for me to order those hosting. Coz I have no credit card.. Good thing I found a hosting and domain that accepts gcash as payment.

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

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…
