Mike Salazar	Monday 22 September 2003 12:05:17 pm I have noticed very few threads regarding how Exponential really perform on a realworld hosting account. Apart from the enterprise setup that i've read before theres no info on how Exponential really runs on a shared or VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting account. There are people here who recommend a Dedicated Server but not everyone can afford this kind of hosting especially if their site doesn't earn them some money. So let's say i have a website with an average page size of 60 - 80k and have been receiving about 100k page views a month. That will be 6 - 8 Gig of bandwidth or transfer a month which i beleive is an ideal situation for a moderately busy site. What kind of hardware specs do you recommend? I hope someone here who have been running Exponential site for a long time could share his experience. I know there are a lot of people here who will be interested in this realworld info. Thanks!

Letting aside the problem to have Imagemagick installed I was blocked by the lack of ressources. It seems to me that you need some 12 M as memory_limit in the php.ini file to run Exponential, but shared hosting would not gives you much. Having to pay 2'000 US$ / year is a pain. Ez Hosting, such as offered from Marlabs is too restricted for us (Emails accounts, Storage size). I would welcome more specific info on the hosting requirments (safe_mode, open_basedir, register_globals....) Open Source Solution Provider Open-Net Ltd Switzerland http://www.open-net.ch
