But never say “permanently” when it comes to scalability issues. You’ve just postponed the issue.

No system is infinitely scalable - you just need to give yourself enough headroom so you can get enough work done before it stops scaling.

But from what I read, those days are behind us.

H!

I have recently been testing various server configurations for our own php based site and also been trying to find figures pointing to how well php based systems (such as wordpress, you are wordpress right?) manage under load.

Any figures on how much traffic your two server setup will be able to handle? Did you have 1 dedicated server before or a shared setup?

Also, if its not too much trouble, roughly how much data do you transfer a month.

I know all applications are different, but this will give some clues!

Also, at the rate Techcrunch is growing, any idea when you will need to add more servers? Next month?
