Setup server to handle 2M visitor daily

  Everything boils down to optimisation and caching, if the content you are serving is mostly stale and doesn't update frequently, setup a proper caching like varnish or simple cloudflare rules with cache all flags.

  Hi guyz
  I need to setup dedicated server which handle 2M visitor daily.

  Wordpress websites.
  
  A dedicated storage server with S3 separately.

  Please let me know your suggestion.
  Also willing to pay for the sever setup

  Thanks

  Visitors or requests? Major difference; requests are the relevant unit and guessing them from "visitors per day" risks to be a lottery.

  Besides, I don't think that Wordpress is the best solution for a relatively massively visited site.

  Another remark: if your traffic pattern is even just somewhat in the normal range, i.e. mostly reads and few writes (e.g. comments, etc) then a cache (like valgrind) could greatly help.

  For 2M daily visitors, use a high-end dedicated server (Xeon/EPYC, 64GB+ RAM, NVMe, 10Gbps). Set up S3-compatible storage (like MinIO or Wasabi) for media. Use NGINX or LiteSpeed with Redis. Since you're open to paid setup, a server expert can handle the full configuration. Let me know your budget and location for suggestions.

  Any location. Which ignore dmca. And allow ad alt sites.

  That leaves quite few locations (and "dcma ignored" isn't a reliable bet anyway IMO).

  Oh, btw, even with 20 mio requests per day any decent 16+ cores, 128+GB dedi with fast disks and sensible config should do the trick (I personally would budget half of that). In other words: you should think twice (and then a third time) before buying a dual 32 core Epyc monster. Just saying.

  It’s Wordpress posts. No comments
  Just post caintain videos. And video already offloaded to minio S3.

  I’m facing. Bad configuration. I tried all of things. But failed to optimised.

  Yes I have nginx proxy VPs and load balancers. But still bottleneck. Might be ddos. Still no ddos. In fact.

  Tomorrow I’ll optimise the mariadb. And nginx.

  I'm afraid I fail to see your problem - other than an approach I consider, pardon me, incompetent. But I'll try to give you some hints.

  So, you are serving a couple of millions (or maybe a couple of ten millions) of videos. Well Wordpress IMO is about the worst frontend for that. And minio (payed service) is shooting with ICBMs at a bird unless you need more than 100 TB or so of volume.
  Maria DB what for? I guess because WP wants it.

  You basically have 3 tasks, (1) relatively big storage, (2) presentation/user interface (3) pumping quite some traffic and quickly and safely (e.g. DDOS) so.

  If you really want advice (via PM if you prefer) you'll have to provide more info and numbers and more concrete data and numbers.

  I need to setup dedicated server which handle 2M visitor daily.

  Again: visitors or requests?

  Wordpress websites.
  

  Why?

  A dedicated storage server with S3 separately.

  Why S3 (compatibility)?
