I looking to start a user driven web site (think facebook/myspace). How do I pick a host and server company?
January 8th, 2010 | by Martin |K-Rock asked:
Like other user driven sites, there is the potential for hundreds of thousands of pages with gazillion posts, blogs, photos, and videos. A friend will design the site, but I need to know about web hosting and servers. Should I buy servers or rent? How much do they cost, either way? What other issues, as a computer novice with a good idea, do I need to know about? Please help, any advice would be appreciated?
