Will, your question is too vague for anyone to give you a meaningful answer. The number of hits (or pages views) that can be handled depends on many factors, including visitor usage patterns, how CPU intensive the web pages are, etc. Also important are what other services are running on the server and how it's used and of course RAM, CPU speed and disk I/O. And it also depends on what you consider to be acceptable performance. Based on discussion with you in February I suspect that your pages are database-driven. It's possible to benchmark your site/app under various scenarios to determine what the server can realistically handle. And it's likely you can increase the number of pages served by optimizing Apache, MySQL (or whatever DB you're using), turning off services and programs you don't need, etc. That said, last year one of my clients running an XTR with maxed out RAM was serving up 9-11 GB per day of static content (I don't recall the exact daily average) pushing between 200k and 300k pages per day (no idea what the hit stats were). I also have plenty of clients with RaQ4s with inefficient database-driven sites (as in the code and db design could be improved) which experience poor performance while handling substancially less pages per day. HTH. Feel free to contact me directly if you need assistance with benchmarking and optimization. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
