self hosting with 3D Vista Virtual Tour Pro16347

I'm very new to virtual hosting and 3D vista has caught my eye with its vast features on offer and with a single license fee ( I am not a fan of monthly membership fees) that materport offers.

I know 3D Vista offers a hosting service however I I'm fairly tech savvy , run my own Linux virtual private servers for email hosting and web development ect but I cant seem to find any guidance on what the required VPS specs are needed when hosting 3D Vista Tours.

I know it depends on various factors such as image quality , length of tour, video clips (if any) but I would like some high level guidance to understand the system resources.

If its a basic house virtual tour ( ~50MB) in size , images only (approx. 15 photos ) few hot spots what are the recommended VPS specs ? I'm trying to work out how much I need to scale the server when multiple users view the same tour and multiple users viewing multiple tours on the same server.

I will be running WordPress on the VPS ( low overhead theme as it have minimal plugins ) so I can easily run the site smoothly on a VPS with 1 core , 1G Ram however how does this change when I start using the same server that have the tours hosted on it ?

Thank you for joining the We Get Around Network Forum and for your (insightful) question.

I reached out to 3DVista Support with your question. 3DVista Support writes:

"We only use Windows and Mac servers, and then other solutions like Amazon S3 and Google Cloud (we use both for our hosting service). But the question he is asking will probably require a Linux expert to be answered."

I am not sure you need to worry about simultaneous connections. Unless you are hosting a tour for something really big with a lot of web traffic it is very unlikely you will have a lot of users exploring one tour or even a few of them at the same time.

What you need to worry though is your server iNode limit. Each pano from your tours by the way they are built and shown in a browser is being sliced into multiple small tiles, stored in its own folder and on top of that they come with an option to see them on different resolution screens.

I have a self hosted tour done in Pano2VR and it has 43 x 360 from a Theta Z1. When I created it for self hosting it generated about 4700 files and about 2500 folders and that is only what required for each pano tiles in different resolutions.

This tour failed to run on a free hosting two year sago due to a small iNode Limit. I gave it to a client after that so they could host it on their website.

It does seem to run on the same free hosting now. It looks like they have increased the limit in general or just for me so I consider buying a paid hosting from then. You can see the tour here
