    I run a few boxes and there are moments when it's enormous hassle. If you consider yourself a front end person, you might want to think carefully about whether you want to get into all that.

    Also, when you say your site is 2mb and you have 10,000 users a day... you might want to think about if those users are all coming to you at the same time (e.g. afternoon from one country) and make sure that you have enough throughput to handle that. Also, be sure that you've got enough monthly bandwidth to cover a spike - overage fees can sometimes be a bit of a shock.

    My guess for what you're asking is that you don't need anything particularly fancy if you're just looking to serve a static page. Maybe try The Planet or something for a basic box that'll do what you want. Typically, it's about 1500GB data transfer and a decent box for about $180 with them.
