Hey guys,
Just picked a client today who has something like 6 cpanel VPS's at HostGator. Each of them has cPanel and 768mb of ram.
He's paying a insane amount of money considering what he is getting.
So I'm thinking rather than moving them over to a few VPS's he would be better off with 1 grunty dedicated. His budget is around $150 a month.
I was looking at WholeSale Internet, and I could get one of the L5520 Servers for $59 + cPanel license and maybe a SSD and 1gbit port if it's needed. (I could probably get away with memcache with a big ram allocation for speeding up MySQL)
This guy is expecting 1million visitors to his sites next month (most of the content is static) and I also want to setup a CDN to host all the images/css etc.
Also he has a rather big phpbb forum, is it worth getting a separate server to host that or should they all fit on the one box?
I don't even know the exact stats myself, but hopefully if I can get a idea of what I need that would be much appreciated!
