      Hello everyone.

      I am planning to build my website. I prefer high traffic capable, fast options of course.

      I wonder which hosting services are you using guys?

      Also which data storage service are you using for downloadable content (plugins) of your clients?

        I've found the host doesn't matter too much as long as you also use a good caching plugin (assuming Wordpress) and a CDN for static content. If you think you're going to get a lot of traffic then probably best to go with dedicated hosting rather than shared, or with a VPS.

        For storing/delivering downloads I use Amazon S3.

          Interesting, I always thought that AWS (Amazon) is the best choice for fast web hosting. But I think it is not true always.

          For storing/delivering downloads I use Amazon S3.

          How much doe it cost for S3 monthly for you?

            Hosting on AWS is like having the ultimate CDN :)

            Cost varies depending on sales and which server the user is downloading from, but here's the bill for March this year

              This is probably better, shows traffic (in and out) in GB alongside cost.

              Each sale should more than cover the cost of a download so don't worry too much about S3 prices unless you have some massive libraries you're selling really cheap.

                I think using a wordpress website on AWS is like: using a shitty engine of a shitty car inside a Mercedes body :D Wordpress performance can be very limited.

                S3 looks not so high cost by the way.

                Thank you for the suggestions.

                  @Steve-Mohican Wordpress is great, how you configure it and the plugins you choose make a big difference.

                        @d-healey That's Not Correct SiR, It's 10 Gb + You Can Get In Touch With Sellfy Devs And Ask for More Space For Any Of Your Products.

                        Features On Sellfy Is Very Very Good, And You Don't Need To Be Worry About How Websites And These Wordpress Things Works.

                        Just Push Your Product, Add Artworks, Add Your Description And Start Making Money.

                            On Sellfy, Downlaods Wont Cost You Anything.
                            You Just Pay For The Monthly Subscription, And There You Have All The Features.

                            Also You May Get DDOS Attacks Or Visit Overloading, Whihc Never Happens On Sellfy.

                            Go For The Trial, I Bet You Never Look Back At Wordpress.

                            Just Take Care Of Development Of Your VST Plugins, And Choose The Best And Easier Environment For Your Website.

                              @d-healey No It's Up To 20 File And Max Size Is 10Gb.
                              Give It A Try.

                              Also You Can Use Your Own Domain, Instead Of Sellfy.com/Yourname.

                              I Use Their Service For 3 Years, Never Got An Issue With DDOs, Lack Of Features Or Stability.

                                @Natan 10GB isn't enough for some of my products. Do they handle EU VAT? I used Gumroad a while back and Payhip but I hit some limitations with things I wanted to do, might have to investigate them again at some point.

                                          @Natan Do they pay the EU VAT and handle the paper work or do you have to register for VATMOSS and fill out the quartely returns?
