What is high load

[Guus Ellenkamp <gu...@activediscovery.net>]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but don't know where else to post.

I own a small web development company and am currently involved in a project 
that might involve a "big" website, like targeting a considerable amount of 
the US population. It might just start small and easily run off shared 
server "hosted somewhere", however, it might get "big" from the very start.

My main question is: what is "big" at the moment. Is it 1.000.000  hits a 
day with 2.000.000 records in a mySQL database or ist 20.000.000 hits with 
100.000.000 records in a mySQL database.

I never hosted anything big before, so just try to get some feel for the 
current hosting possibilities of a single server.

Thanks for your replies.

Guus, while I'm not able to help you directly - you might want to try
the Apache HTTPd project. See mailing lists here:
http://httpd.apache.org/lists.html

and the mySQL mailing list. If you have web services specific
performance /scaling questions, do come back here though.

Cheers,
Jeremy
