Hello,
Currently I am looking to move my web site to a bigger server. Because I have hit the file limit on a unlimited webs pace account I have. So my plan is to move to Dynamic Cloud Server and part of the appeal is that I can add a few other sites I look after into the mix but still keep it cheap(ish).
I have the option to spec the server, at the moment I have 1cpu and 2gb RAM and 100gig storage. Does this seem fine for running Piwigo or do you think I should upgrade the CPU and/or RAM.
Currently I have 126,213 photos online with 7 years more of photographs to upload...so possibly looking at about the 200k mark by the time I finish.
btw I do know there is .com but I want more control over my site, been stitched up too many times over the years.
Thanks
Jack

most Piwigo installations run on mutualized servers (and some on free servers)
your specs are far enough for Piwigo :)
just know Piwigo generate multiple file for each picture (Thumbnail, Small, Medium, Big...) keep this in mind for calculating the disk space you need

Thanks mistic100,
Currently with the 126,213 images online I have taken up 22.82 GB of space and 216,859 files. The problem I have hit is the currently unlimited hosting package I have gets upset by the amount of files I use so its a bit like them unlimited broadband connections...unlimited as long as you use them within the limits we don't specify.
I can spec a VM with up to 8 cpu cores and silly ram etc but each step costs an extra £9 a month and I don't want to be paying for power I won't use or space I don't need. I must say I am tempted to up the storage to 200GB so I have a future proof server space wise[1].

[1] I also look after 6 other sites they are database driven but not massive hit rates.
