VPS vs Dedicated

Hello,

I am wondering what the recommendation would be in rolling out 25+ domains (web shops) (possibly 100+), each indivudually with its own IP, SSL, payment processing with Magento. Magento is a resource hog so not sure if a VPS (individual or grouped) is the correct solution or a Dedicated (grouped or individual) is better.

Another service has recommended the hosting of the database on a separate machine.

Can KH suggest or recommend a set up? Custom solutions possible at KH? Or are packages as is?

Thanks.
 
No need for multiple IPs over SSL with SNI support, which all newly provisioned VPSes / Dedicated servers will have, so that will save some money for you.

I would start off with an SSD-4 or -5 with Zendopcache for caching. Then if you outgrow it, migration to a dedicated is a ticket away.

Helllo Frddie,

I was contemplating an SSD VPS then move to dedicated if needed. Thank you for confirming my thoughts. I understand the migration / upgrading would be pretty seamless from any VPS upwards.

I read about SNI but not all folks are convinced this would work. Do you have any references on the SNI? Also what about the idea about hosting the database on a separate machine?

Thank you.
 
I'm not sure what some people could think is wrong with SNI (excepting the browsers and servers that are not capable). Here's a wikipedia link on the matter:

The main concern client-wise is this subset of browsers with no support:

However, that group is getting smaller every day.

Running the database on another machine shouldn't be a problem - would just require modifying the config files for sites from localhost to the remote server.
