Hi Friends!

I wanna start start a flash multiplayer gaming site, and I am expecting more then 20000 visitors on my site!

My main problem is I don't know which server should I go for?
Please tell me configuration, bandwidth required?

For multiplayer gaming, I have to install some sockets on the server, So, Should I should for dedicated server?

Type of server should depend on type of script you will use.

If you are expecting more then 20000 visitors per day on your site...prefer a VPS. Shared hosting won't fit your site

Yeah, VPS will be a good option but for a long run I would suggest you to go for a dedicated server as 20000 visits + Flash based website may overload VPS as it’s a virtually hosted and downgrade the performance of the website. You can find a dedicated server (Dual Core Intel Core 2 E4600 with dell hardware) at 6,600 INR per month without any control panel (If you want I can provide the hosting company name too).

If budget is the issue you can start the website on a VPS and later you can move to a dedicated server for dedicated resources....
