Help me find a dedicated server! :(

  • Hi,
    I run a blog that is averaging around 15 000 unique visitors a day, and well above 30 000 page loads. Now the amazing thing is that Dreamhost hasn’t told me to go die yet(I guess I can thank wp-cache), but I’m fairly confident they’ll tell me soon enough since I’m closing in on my daily CPU quota.

    I must admit that I don’t know much about hosting, it certainly isn’t what I’m blogging about, so I was wondering what kind of dedicated server I’d need for a page of my size? I was thinking about going for a very basic specced server, but I honestly have no idea at all how demanding WordPress is on a server, and pre-paying a server for a few hundred dollars only to find it doesn’t even come close to what I need is not something I’d like to just try..

    Thanks for any assistance!

    Server Beach does have Debian. As well as RHEL, Cent, and another non-penguin friendly O$.

    Thomas, you’re choices are endless, and it probably seems overwhelming.
    Hang in there, you’ll find something that fits.

    Best advice I can offer, find some places you think you could be comfortable with, then worry about the price. In the long run, you’ll get what you pay for.

    I will say go for hostgator. Its pretty nice and you can find dedicated server at nominal rate
