[GLLUG] Web server capacity considerations

[Seth Bembeneck]

This web server will host personal site and one for my church. In the area
of scripts,
I have a section of the site run completely by php (it is a stat server for
Delta Force LandWarrior). I'm also working on a web page counter that uses
PHP

I have DSL for my internet connection, not sure what the upload speed is.

The stat server uses Mysql for data storage.

Guess I will move the server over and see what happens..

Thanks for all the responces.

You need to look at the whole picuture....

1. CPU speed (400 mhz is great, I have servers that are a lot slower, like a
   166 mHz Pentium)...
2. Memory/Bus speed?
3. Response time and bandwidth of the disks.
4. Line speed (56 Kb... T1)?
5. What sort of web site is it? (static pages, a lot of database or analytic
   activity per request.. in practice some mix is expected).
6. What other software is needed to operate the site? (DBMS? package? 
   custom code?)
7. How much traffic do you expect (now, 6 months out)?
   If you have a static site and a good connection, things like processor 
   speed don't become a big contraint until you are getting multiple re-
   quests per second...
