I want a website which will have 10,000 views per day from day 1.

Now my mind is frozen to decide followings,
  1. Where to host this, I will not make any money for 6 months initially so I will have to invest initially, so I will have to invest
  2. I don't know wordpress but I know reactjs, angular, c#, python and what not
  3. I want to start with a good base, is php / jquery my only choice, i don't mind spending a month learning and applying php skills as I know jquery already and have 15 years experience al together.
Anything else I need to consider ?

All i want is a stable public facing website, which I can modify as wanted and stable.

Regards
 
Go with cloud hostings like DigitalOcean or Vultr. If you need a managed solution, try CloudWays.

Start with the base plan which costs around $5/month ($10 in case of CloudWays) and then scale as your site starts getting more traffic.
 
Digitalocean or Vultr. Check out the prices and comparisons and support at DO is really fine and you get some extra bucks(100$) for first 2 months to test the service.
 
Thank you everyone, getting best advises it seems

what about technology to build this website --- react or php ?

and for database mongo db or mysql ?
 
Recommended hostings digitalocean, vltur and Amazon AWS.

You can scale your server if your site gets more traffic.

Above mentioned hosting providers mostly provide free credits.

You can find credits in BHW or from Google search.
 
Hi, I recommend you to go with amazon free trail because initially you dont get that much traffic and after 6 months or year you can get any VPS $10 to 20 per month which provide you 100gb+ hard disk 8gb-16gb ram and unmetered bandwidth
 
So many recommendations, so little answers. But I really enjoy reading that reco's.
To know the "where" and "type" you first have to know the "how" and "what" .


FYI: 1GB of ram can easily manage 100.000 DV of static page.

I guess you will have a dynamic website as you mention php. Then again depends on the code optimization, the backend optimization, the content of the website and so on.
You have to figure what your website need as resources..More RAM or CPU? If is RAM go with DigitalOcean or Vultr (I guess), is it CPU? Both DO and Vultr CPU powers are slow-to-average.

You have to test it to find out what is suitable for YOUR needs.
 
wow 10k PER day ? how you managed get so much traffic?
yes I know for some this is nothing but for 10k per day already not bad

That depends what kind of site you're making, you never mentioned that.
React is awesome, you can make single pages very functional without having to re-load stuff constantly. The react library is developed and used by Facebook so you know it can support a massive site.

The database also depends on what kind of data you need to store there.

Let say it will be a community forum with a customized look.

Reason I don't like wordpress is because, I want to automate posting to this forum using let say C# however based on my limited research adding multiple posts let say 50 posts per hour to wordpress using code is not possible (please prove me wrong)
 
Why don't you finish the software first. If you haven't even decided on a tech stack, it's hard to give you tailored advice.
10,000 visitors per day technically isn't very demanding. It's way more important to know what kind of peak traffic you expect.
How many requests per second do you need to handle in a "worst case scenario" and how expensive is a request of yours (depends on the software you choose).
As @FlipDime you can always go with a cloud solution and just slap some more power onto whenever things get rough.

You can add as many posts to wordpress as you want per hour as long as your server is beefy enough. 50 certainly won't be a problem. But I wouldn't recommend wordpress at all if you plan on starting a forum.
Have you looked into all those open source community forum solutions (MyBB, Vanilla, Discourse,... there are plenty)
