Virtually any machine you care to set up would handle a load like that very easily. Even an old used PC would do just fine. A Pentium 200 is more than enough; I have my Web site running with a similar system, and it takes perhaps a quarter million page hits a day, and it is shared with other sites, and yet it keeps up with no problem at all. In England you're more likely to go broke paying for the telecommunications costs than for the system itself. That's one reason why I still have my site hosted by someone else: I could easily buy a machine adequate to the task, but I could never afford to pay for the bandwidth that a large web-hosting company can offer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julian Morgan" <jmorgan@mitchells.com.au> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, November 23, 2001 02:03 Subject: Apache and minimum server requirements > > > Would you people please let me know what are your thoughts on the minimum server > specs for the following > > I have a web site that is running freebsd4.3stable > it is a personal web site - so there might be 20 hits per day max > it has thumb nails - 10 per page, 5K each in a picture gallary... > It has 3 cgi scripts , web counter, a program called newspro - which you > might have heard - is an automated news message board, > and it has cgi password authentication... > > I will not have this server run anything else - but maybe ssh and ftp - so > I can update the code, but squid and sendmail will not be running > > I was thinking I could get away with a pentium 200 with 64MegRam (maybe 128 > - but I don't think so... > > > If you wanna check this site - thats cool, but it is 2 weeks in progress > and needs alot of work > it is www.starnetwork.isp.com.au > > Your thoughts would be appriciated - I am going over to england - and would love > this site to be running on an adequate machine > > Regards > Julian > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
