Can somebody get me some information about web hosting

Josephthomas · April 2007

Hi
I am working on the developement of a website using LAMP technology.I am trying to figure out the web hosting related cost and infrastructure .Can somebody shed some light on this.
I knw this is a very general question .With out knowing the traffic it will be difficult for you guys to say. I am working on something similar to Digg technology( i dont store videos,but will be a kind of link,but expects to get some user comments etc).If you ask me about the traffic, i dont knw.Its in a development stage( I expect it to get some good traffic down the line ,though not initially).
Which is best cost effective web hosting comany? What would be the expected cost ?Should i need to go for a dedicated hosting or shared hosting?What is minimum bandwidth ,memory i need to have ?( Let us start with 1000-10000 hits on the website per day).
i dont have any investments as of now..! so i will look for a cheaper but faster one.please guide me

thanks

Great advice from Nikole. Lots of hosting companies have good/bad records. My advice? Check the better business bureau beforehand.

At the small end of the market I like BlueHost. For a dedicated server I would use Server Beach. If your site gets big enough that you need a dedicated server then "value" is the last thing you should worry about.

JosephCan you let me know wht is the configuration that i should be looking at? Minimum Bandwidth,GB and processors.,RAM. I answer questions like this as part of my business so I can tell you there isn`t a simple answer. Anyone posting one here is simply guessing. There are just too many variables. The best advice I can give anyone in your situation is to make sure your application scales horizontally. If it doesn`t then you`re going to end up in serious trouble if it takes off.

I use godaddy, if you have a promo code you will save 30%. Also, you can search the promo codes in google.

Many people say Dreamhostis excellent, but I know they have had some problems. Hostgatoris one that many people also swear by.
