Hey there,

One thing I should have mentioned..

For the real estate website I recently created, it has about 500,000 photos and that takes up 10GB disk space.

My goal is to have 250,000 coders signed up within 5 years. So if each coder uploads 5 photos, and those photos have to be resized, each coder could have 10 photos total. So that is 2,500,000 photos, which means photos alone would take up about 50GB of disk space.

Coders will be uploading packages and completed software projects so there will be more space consumed with that.

What I am concerned about is having a server that is capable of handling all this disk space. so if anybody has any suggestions, please advise.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Travis Walters
