I was planning to use dolphin 7 for a dating site. I hopefully can forsee traffic around 10,000+ hits per month, maybe more. Is there a rule of thumb limit, or has anyone used 7.0 for a high user base with high traffic on a daily basis and had bad slowdown?
BTW, I plan on using a VPS through Hostgater and the specs are:
CPU
1.98 GHZ
RAM
1344 MB
Disk Space
59 GB |

I'm currently at about 16,000 hits per month, and everything so far is fine, knock on wood |
@Ron; are you on a VPS or Dedicated? This is excellent to know about you getting so many hits, gives the rest of us hope. Do you have custom modules or just the standard modules and do you have someone tweak it for you, or are you using all standard setup options? Thanks |

Thanks Hit are not the same as "unique visitors" hits can be from you, search engines and bots... look at your "Awstats" and look for that term in your stats.

The bots visit say once a day, the search engines once a day. So lets give say 5000 hits for these, you still have 11,000 hits. Pretty decent |
