Haranadh,
You are absolutely correct, the article contains information that would be applicable to any web based business. The reason it is titled that way is because this article is just one of about six that I wrote surrounding my journey of building a social network. The articles were written as one massive write up and I have been planning on going back and rewriting them to work better on their own as I did with my most recent article on registering a trademark.

You make some great points in your comment and thank you for sharing. I’m sure anyone who reads this article will benefit from the information you provided.

Interesting article for the techies who want try their lucks on internet based business. Even though the article says the information is for “server for building a social network”, the points mentioned here are applicable for all other business environments. As per my knowledge, while setting up the website, one has to have clear understanding about the amount of the traffic that is expected on the server. This is where most of the website designers fails. Here one has to consider two issues, not mentioned explicitly in the article
1. Bandwidth: really hard term to assess. The amount of the bandwidth you require depends on the traffic that you got for your website. Taking more bandwidth is not solves this problem. This problem of bandwidth has to be addressed from the designing time of the website.
2. Optimization of images and many more things are there to concentrate to better utilize the available bandwidth for longer time.
