What is the necessary hosting requirement for a social community...

Hi,

I would like to ask / discuss with you what is your hardware to host a brand new social community with Easysocial, Easyblog and Easydiscuss? Currently I only have a hosting package which is named "professional" by my hosting company, but I do have the impression that it's not enough to start with, because even the dashboard size of Easysocial seems to be to large and slow as a good landing page...

I am already using e.g. Amazon S3 to store Easysocial medias, but may be this might not be necessary because I try to start a regional / German community.

Maybe it's also possible to exchange some configuration files, e.g. the htaccess-file of your Joomla root.

Thanks for every hint or tipp,

Horst
