I am looking at hosting packages for my new site and to be honest, i don't really have any idea of the kind of level of hosting i would require. I think a dedicated server would be the best idea however i am sure this would be over kill so i have been considering VPS/Cloud hosting.
The main issue is that i will be sending out a lot of emails, somewhere in the region of 500,000 a year. Because of this at my current firm we change IP every 3 months or so just to avoid the inevitable spam traps. Although all of the mail is solicited we have encountered a number of issues in the past.
I will be hosting 2-4 sites and will be looking to expand in the coming years. I am also considering splitting the cost with a friend that is also starting a small e-commerce site.
i am just looking for some basic guidance on what would be the best option/specification and maybe some indication on cost or provider.
