[ben1206]

Im looking for a company that can offer me super fast php hosting. It will be large loads with upto 20 php requests a second, the load is so much that i am currently running mysql on a dedicated mysql server. Any ideas ?

How much bandwidth are you pushing?

[ben1206]

Not alot 10gb a month max

[ben1206]

Also i forgot to mention i MUST have the ability to have a custom php.ini for my user, also i would prefer directadmin over cpanel. Also my space requirements are only about 500mb

Care to tell us more about the nature of your script; the amount of visitors, load and the bandwidth somehow do not really match up. Can you explain a bit more ?

[ben1206]

Its a text based game, with about 200 active players at any one time per server

what are your bandwidth requirements ? There's tons of optimization you can do to be less dependent on db queries.

[ben1206]

My scripts are optimized to the level they need to be at mysql isnt a problem at all for me atm as i have a dedicated mysql server, like i said i only need 10gb bandwidth at the most

Seems you outgrown shared-hosting; 200 connections at every single time is quite a lot for a site running on a shared hosting account (lets say, i wouldn't want to be another user on the same server). So i guess you will be looking at a dedicated server; looking at your stats i would not recommend a VPS to quickly as your IO load will be high. Why not move the site and sql to the same dedicated server?

[ben1206]

Sorry i didnt make it clear the mysql server is a shared dedicated mysql server, and i am trying to split my loads between shared servers, i have previously used a dedicated server from staminus but the profits i make cannot sustain it.

[040Hosting]

Maybe look into semi-dedicated; or high-end VPS servers.

Splitting mySQL from production web hosting in this case doesn't sound logic unless the server is next to your shared-hosting account and lets the traffic go by a secondary network. All other options would make your php script take longer to execute (time needed to connect to the sql server) and thus use more resources.

[ben1206]

The reason the mysql is independent is because the same db is being read / updated by multiple servers

I think that wouldn't be a problem for non-overselling shared hosts, like medialayer, although I haven't used them.

ben, now i replied several times, and more and more comes falling out of the closet, maybe you should try to explain more about the situation you are in; to me it seems your site simply belongs on a dedicated server. But maybe more information can give others the chance to point you in a better direction.

[ben1206]

i have been recommended media layer before i think im going to give them a try.
