Web Hosting Advice - Who are the best hosting providers for social networks/community sites?


Expert: Max Hester - 1/9/2009

Question
Hi,

Iam hoping you can help me with this question as I have found difficulty. I want to set up a social networking/community site. However, I can't seem to find much detail on hosting providers for social networks.

Iam looking for a secure well established hosting provider
where I get complete control of the server database and my customer database.
cost effective

please help!

regards

Natalie

Answer
Natalie,,

There are many hosts that can do that. Rackspace.com is one of the largest for highly mission critical hosting for these types of sites. Most providers don't say they host "social network" sites. If you do find a good host, make sure you have a high bandwidth. You will probably want a dedicated server for this type of project. I would suggest Rackspace or Ev1Servers.net. Check out webhostingtalk.com there is a huge amount of info on that site about managed hosting solutions. Good luck!
