Just out of curiosity, how many web sites could be hosted on a single box?

I have a pentiumII 233 with 64Mb RAM and will be connected to a T3. Even a ballpark figure would be great, real figures even better.

In the company where I worked before, we had a single PC (Pentium 133, 64 MB, 2 GB SCSI) connected to a 128 kbit/s line. Of course it was running Linux and Apache. It served around 30 different domains using IP-aliasing. Some of these webservers also used mSQL and mySQL Databases via PHP/FI, which were also running on that machine. In addition to that it served as a secondary nameserver. The load never went up above 0.7, but this might due to the relative small connection to the net. Anyway, our customers never argued about long response times... In your case, I would figure that you should be able to serve about 100-200 Sites, depending on their popularity. You might want to add some more RAM though... This really speeds things up a lot. Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer S.u.S.E.
