Hi,

Im about to launch a website to the World Wide Web, that i do believe can become very popular. But im looking for the right kind of hosting, for international traffic. But its a little hard for me find the right place, since im not used to hoste international traffic.

Do you guys have any ideas for a good, cheap, stable hosting company, for massive traffic?

Thanks

You can double facepalm me all you want, but my question remains.

I guess its my bad english that makes me look unserious.
 
The thing that makes you look unserious is the fact your you are suggesting international traffic is going to kill your server... How many visitors per day are we talking here?
 
Okay, i see what you mean. But i didnt mean it that way. Its just that hosting in my country is very expensive, compared to the US. So im looking for hosting in the US or other parts of the world, but i have no idea where to start.

I was considering Amazon EC2, but im sure there is better and cheaper options out there.

Im not talking about the new facebook or anything :-) , but im sure that within a few weeks, it could have at least 10000 visitors a day. And in a few months, who knows?
 
So it can be based in the US or Europe right?
Will it be database/memory hungry? Also disk space wise, how much storage do you think you would require?

Because they suck and your site will go down often once you hit 600-800+ visitors a day?

Virtual Private Servers are the way to go for anyone with 5+ websites. Then you can upgrade the server or move a site off it to its own VPS or dedicated once you start getting a ton of visitors a day.

Rule of thumb: don't spend money unless it's making you money. If the site currently isn't making you money, then don't take on a new VPS or Dedicated with the expectation it will. Just add an account to your current VPS or Dedicated since you aren't incurring any additional expense that way.

Actually, I have an account hosted on Bluehost with 15 sites that combined pulls in over 4k unique visitors daily. Granted, none of those sites are very important (I keep my top money sites on my VPS), but just pointing out that 800 visitors won't kill your server. Uptime has been 99.02% over the past 2 years.

But yeah, good advice about how you don't want to upgrade before you have the income to justify it.
 
if you have money to spend like 200 to 300 bucks a month on hosting, get a dedicated server from the planet or hostgator. then you can host all of your sites (you will sure register some more domains, right??) without having to worry about your sites going down because of moderate to heavy traffic as they do in shared hosting environment.
