I have noticed very few threads regarding how EzPublish really perform on a realworld hosting account. Apart from the enterprise setup that i've read before theres no info on how Ezpublish 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 earnthem 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 ofhardware specs do you recommend?
I hope someone here who have been running Ezpublish 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!

I'm sharing your concern as I have to set up an application for an educational organization. I made some test with shared hosting. 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 EzPublish, 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....)

I would also suggest to our moderators to open a thread exclusively just to discuss hosting issues. Hosting i believe is a big issue when you are using EzPublish.
