Hi Kenneth, Thanks for the response. The project will be hosted at WebFaction (which I recommended, having used their services with great results in the past). It will start off on shared hosting and could end up in a dedicated server. The client wants some sort of "performance guarantee". I was tempted to remind them of the saying "premature optimisation is the root of all evil" - then I thought, being non-developers, it would make no sense to them.
Some requirements I must agree to include: 1. Ability to accommodate large numbers of active users and content. 2. Ability to scale the system further without requiring a redesign. I think point two is a moot point. Who ever makes that sort of generalisation? I need a way to assure them short of just saying "it will work!".
