Submission + - Best Co-Location Server Strategy for Fast Growth
Catalina588 writes: My nephew is in development on a web business that should grow rapidly to 500,000 web pages in 2010. Viewers will be concentrated in National Football League cities initially, but grow to other US cities and internationally. The question is how to design a high-capacity, low cost to operate web server farm that can scale with minimum pain. Lots of HTML serving, potentially to millions of viewers daily. Little database activity. How would you architect the servers and who would you approach to host the traffic?
