Hey all
What server will i need to control hundreds of instagram accs with a webapp? Is a vps enough ? Or will i neeed a powerful dedicated server?

You mean you are running your own webapp on the server? I guess it depends on how many resources the app uses. If you are running it somewhere at the moment, try to look at the resources you are using currently in terms of CPU, Disk, RAM and bandwidth. Then multiply that up with the number of accounts you are planning to run, and it would give you a rough estimate.

PS: Thread moved to web hosting. Seems like its more suited here and you will get more advice from the right people here.

Well, its really about the app that you are running and how much work its actually having to do. It sounds like its going to be similar to a website in terms of running local scripts, accessing a database etc and then sending API calls to and from instagram. So it probably depends more on how many concurrent visitors you are likely to have coming to the web app.

I will let someone else chip in on numbers but I guess a VPS would probably do you fine up to a few hundred concurrent users and for anything over that you would need a dedicated server.

More details son...
Are you using browsers or web requests?

Generally speaking though, if you're handling hundreds of accounts then I don't see why you wouldn't use a dedi in any case.

Actually davids355 described it perfectly.

So then I would say don‘t waste time with hardware design your software smart.
Start with a simple small vps with all necessary components:
-Loadbalaner
-Firewall
-Frontend
-Database
-rabbitmq (or celery for distributed work)
-API
-Worker (based on rabbit / celery)

If you get more visitors but not more Data-Request think about a new vps for a second Frontend-Service (nginx apache...). If you got workload for the instagram request add another worker. ...
You pay what you need.
 
Yes you could run it on a VPS. I would recommend going with a KVM VPS and start at 2 GB of Ram. Test it and if you need more resources then you can always upgrade.
