I know nothing about being a server admin. I wrote up a site using C# and have it working with an ASP project. I tried out a free host site, it worked. There were restrictions such as read only files so obviously I cant use a free host. I also want to run ffmpeg to convert audio of any format to mp3 or flv. I had an issue with URL rewriting that didn't run my ASP code when i fed it mydomain.com/user/item/title.
So keeping in mind I need to - support URL rewriting on files that doesn't end with .asp(x) - run ONE instance of ffmpeg (this is roughly 5mb IIRC but I'll check) - run imagemagik - Write to the HD a bonus is to run php
From what I know I am required to get a VPS because I want to run a binary (ffmpeg and imagemagik should be common, in fact imagemagik uses ffmpeg and imagemagik is used very often). Do I really need a vps (<=128mb please)? How much should I expect to pay for a server for my needs?
Do any of you recommend anyone?
