The beta has been fine. The design is almost ready. The blog theme is under development (I like this white one meanwhile). Now, the hosting. Honestly, I don’t know what I’m looking for. I have no idea what I need and I can’t even imagine how much people will visit the website every day. It maybe 10, it may be 100,000. Anybody good at start-up calculation? ;)
It’s currently hosted in Moscow, Russia, but that’s definitely NOT the way it should be. Twitter API calls from Russia to CA, USA takes quite some time, that’s why I was thinking about hosting somewhere in California. Maybe not California, but it HAS to be US for sure! I looked at various hosting plans, shared, VPS, and dedicated servers, there are loads of companies that suit my needs. But I’m worried about pricing. Not sure I’d want to spend a bunch of money on dedicated hosting if we’ll have 10 visits per day for the first few weeks.
So, the final part is that I’m looking for some hosting company that would sponsor the foller.me project in exchange for advertising opportunities on foller.me ;) I know that this doesn’t sound right, but there SHOULD be one ready to help. Any ideas?
