   I am trying to build a blog network using WordPress with a shopping cart and classifieds. Potentially (cross fingers) this website may receive high volume activity and I wanted to plan ahead. If somebody could please recommend a hosting architecture and services that are scalable, I would highly appreciate it. Initially, I was thinking these phases as the website gained more popularity:

   Phase I
   Media Temple cloud hosting

   Phase II
   Media Temple cloud hosting with media stored on Amazon cloud

   Phase III
   Media Temple dedicated server with media stored on Amazon cloud

   Phase IV (?)
   Media Temple load balancing replicated dedicated server with media stored on Amazon cloud

   Do I have this all wrong? Recommendations?

   Thank you and look forward to hearing from you.

   I did some research and found that this might be a better solution. This includes utilizing WP super cache.

   Phase I
   Dedicated Server on Grid Layer with media on Amazon Cloud.

   Phase II
   Two dedicated servers for a mysql database and a web server, and media on Amazon Cloud.

   Phase III
   Multiple dedicated web servers pointing to one dedicated mysql database server, and media on Amazon Cloud

   Phase IV
   Multiple dedicated web servers and multiple dedicated mysql database servers, and media on Amazon Cloud

   Any comments? Also, besides waiting for your server to crash, when would you move from one phase to the next?
