Growing site needs to split single LAMP social site into multiple servers running nginx and php-frm

Reasonably competent developer, but weak on network/systems/os and know almost nothing of nginx.

Need help with initial setup. Possibly ongoing assistance.

Aside from webservers, we have a mail server, a video transcoding server, and a memcache server. We use varnish and mariaDB.

We are not heavy users of htaccess and are not married to any control panel.

We hope to convert our main server into a webserver and database server asap. The others can follow in time.

Work via TeamViewer sessions and Skype to assist us in learning our way around nginx.

Budget $500+ Ongoing consultancy preferred. Thank you in advance.

Wow. Came back for more help and found this. Three years no reply. How to delete it?

Know a lot more about nginx now, but want to tune/organize now and have some specific areas that continue to elude me.

I guess I'll head somewhere else ;(
