Hello all!
I have an existing client that has asked about hosting one of their sites that requires a higher than average amount of bandwidth per month (nothing "extreme") - roughly 10-15 GB/day or about 375 GB per month.
Our "standard" hosting plans do not accommodate for this high amount, so I suggested using a CDN (Amazon S3) for the static components of the site that utilize most of the bandwidth (MP3 & Video). This would reduce the bandwidth requirements greatly.
However, I started thinking about how much bandwidth a single DirectAdmin server could handle - and came up blank.
I realize there are a tremendous number of factors with this in mind (OS, disk performance, network cards, network connection etc.) - and we never push servers to capacity.
Does anyone have any experience (even "hypothetical") with regard to what a single DA server can handle comfortably with regard to serving content - e.g. daily bandwidth capacity?
I would enjoy hearing your thoughts - thanks!
