Question
What plan can handle my website (estimate)
Hello :)
I`d like to know what plan you guys think might handle my new project, follow some of the features and expectations (website being programmed in php language).
Subscribe system (50k+ active users).
2M - 3M page views per month
5000 + simultaneously users average.
In the release day, we have some places that will share our project (some pages with 500k - 600k facebook likes), so Im expecting a subscribe spike in the first 3 hours, i
m investing a lot of money in this marketing so the site CANNOT go offline, thats why I
m creating this post.
Thanks

I’d love to get more details - do you have a db or any other backend servers? Are you going to setup load-balancing or any kind of redundancy? If you want to ensure that the site stays up, you definitely want to look at doing failover with this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-highly-available-web-servers-with-keepalived-and-floating-ips-on-ubuntu-14-04 potentially.
