Building a website, expect a lot of traffic, images, etc. What software bundle to use?

[Homero Rivera]

Hello, This may sound overly optimistic. I'm building a website where I do expect really heavy traffic, images, and even some video. What software bundle do you recommend for this kind of use? -Hosting your site with Windows, ASP.Net, MS SQL Server ? -LAMP? -Others...? I have little expertise in servers, so your insight is much appreciated

Most all frameworks will work, the issue really comes down to which one can you actually build it in. Which one do you know most. Then go from there.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

if you expect a lot of traffic, maybe one of http://cdnsun.com/solutions[^] will be useful, because I've heard that it's good solution and affordable one :)

While I assume you only tried to be helpful, please note: - He didn't ask for a CDN-provider but for a software stack. - Linking to commercial websites is considered spamming if the OP didn't explicitly ask for it. To avoid being reported for spamming I would suggest you change your answer to just recommend using any CDN-provider instead of self-hosting static content.
