Dear all
I had a big forum (more than 2M posts) between 2003 ~ 2017, but for some problems the forum closed.
Now, we trying to comeback again, and we are preparing for a big real event, which will be covered by national televisions and other media, and we expect a very high traffic because of that (we talking about ±10K users simultaneously.
We are migrating from vBulletin to XenForo, and we have extensive news site (WordPress) in the site too.
What I'm asking for is, what is the best approach for the hosting, is Amazon AWS good choice for us, or we must go with dedicated server, and in this case which company and technical specification do you recommend?
Another thing, we have a huge mailing list, and we think our member base will increase to the double during the event, so we need a good solution to deal with regular emails and newsletters, so what do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
