Who is going to be the server admin?
How experienced are you?
By cloud you mean Amazon, Microsoft or Google?
Or, some hosting companies new name for a virtual account (on the cheap).
To host your own tracker you will need a good setup.
How mamy thousand hits a day in traffic is planned.
What is the 'content weight' in bandwidth?
You don't want to underestimate or overspend on network resources -- a reasonable base compromise requires a plan or the ability to pivot quickly. Clouds may be a bit expensive but not being available to serve you ad volume is a lot more expensive.
Yes I will be admin - I have a technical background so I know I can learn - I'm just starting out so I won't have huge amounts of traffic but I want to be able to handle when I get to that level - would it make sense to have a dedicated sever for the tracking and use cloud for web pages? I want to be able to run campaigns all over the world and I want pages to load real quick
-what else would you recommend instead of amazon-cloudfront?
-is binom good enough for a tracker? would you recommend another tracker?
-is there anything i can do for you for helping me?
Amazon-Cloudfront CDN maybe for serving the HTML, Nginx
I like Linode for VPS for your tracker -- no cpanel ssh only set up a proper firewall, limit ssh access to your IPs only, no FTP server - use scp or rsync maybe 2G - 4G RAM will be enough -- again depends on the volume
