Moving up in the *server* world...

URGames.com - Over 25,000 visits a day. High page views per visit. Heavy PHP/MySQL. Average visit take up about 1mb of bandwidth at least.

You may want to look into caching your page output (if you don't already) to cut down on database calls.

My friend does this with his cheats site... Perhaps this is a good idea...

Nice :) Dont know a huge amount about what a general server could handle, but Im not surprised a celeron is struggling with that :)

So thats about 25Gb a day? At the moment that would take me about 5 years :)

that looks like it is going to be awesome. 25k right now? or is that a planned number?

I've not dealt with secondary servers purely for databases but wouldn't that help if its high cpu due to mysql?

Get a Dual Xeon and see how it goes. I could be pretty much certain that will be enough...it will be a large enough jump from what you have also.

I've got higher than 25k several times this week. It's not a planned number, it's about a week average number.

Yep, Dual Xeon seems to be the way to go. Will I need a dedicated line or will a shared one do?

Can you post your bandwidth usage?

Cpanel -> Webstats -> Bandwidth

Dedicated line or shared: ummmm, with all server leasing it is the same ... many OCxx lines shared between all clients.

Infact, I don't think I'm gonna need a dedicated line...

My literature site server does over 200,000 impressions a day, most of which use MySQL, and it runs on a P4 3.06 w/HT.

Do you have any/many other active sites on the server?

Either way I guess its best for uptime reasons alone two have sep servers for upgrades/etc?

A few other sites. 3 right now (total), soon to be 4.

The new one is the poetry one?

You know, perhaps Chris doesn't want his new sites mentioned until HE mentions them? ;) Just common courtesy.

(If he HAS mentioned it, then I apologise)
