Looks to me if your space bar is broken. Also I'd be little cautious when my assumptions, epecially when its concerning me.

How can someone that's been here as long as you have freakin' negative reputation points? It looks like you should change your user ID, because you're NOT learning.

If you are trying to host a site, that you just developed, then it's better to start with Shared Hosting, once you get the users and revenue going, you can shift to Dedicated Hosting, and once the site becomes big hit (you need to decide the criteria), then you try to host the site yourself. otherwise it's not worth it and too much efforts/money will be required to test if your new idea is going to work or not. becuase selft hosting is big resposibility, you need everything redundant, power / hardware / internet / storage etc...
And if you have that kind of money in your pocket, then buy 2 high configuration servers, with dual socket CPUs, quad core Xeons, with 32 GB RAM each, with RAID 10 harddrives. and then install vmware ESX in both. and configure atleast 1 web servers each (for redundacy) , and 1 database server with atleast 1 node for replication (both on sperate servers for redundacy).
you can allocate 8GB x 2 ram to sql server database, 4GB ram x 2 to web servers. reserve 2 GB for vmware host. and 1 GB for sql server failover witness database. and use rest for development environment. (and the networking hardware extra, hardware firewalls, switches, static ip, internet connections etc..)
And if this is too complex then go with Amazon EC Services or Windows / SQL Azure. and you dont have to worry about anything, and you can upgrade the hardware as per the demand, by changing the web.config.

Thanks ,for your reply.Honestly and Seriously.Does that handle 50,000 users ?
|
|
|
|

Number of users doesnt matter, even you have 7 mil users, it will handle. the question is how many are online at the given point of time? if around 3000 users are online at the same time, it will handle it. (again it depends how complex the site is, and how much database access / calculations are required to satisfy one user request) you can always use Load/Stress Testing tools on the website before launching it. I always stree test my web applications with atleast 5000 users for most common workflow.

You didn't reply to my previous reply.thanks but i was just asking a simple question to thse who might know the answer.Why do some of my post go in to these long chains - with some fireworks.I definitely didn't try and instigate any fireworks.
Messages which are not relevant can be ignored -is that too high an expectation.

I did. Give it some godforsaken time. I have only two hands and five fingers in each.

You didn't acknowledge the help offered to you and worse yet you SHOUTED.

I do wish people could have ignored it, but you can't really be telling what should be others doing on the internet, especially when you do silly things.

Have you actually thought of calling a hosting company and seeing what they would recommend you use from your spec?

In the cloud -it's not always clear - So I framed my question in a simple manner.there are a lot of techies around here, so it might have been good to get a rough estimate.

I-am-Learning wrote: What is the minimum server configuration to keep a site like codeproject running for 50,000 simultaneous users.
Nos of procs for the windows server and nos of procs for the Sql Database server and amount of Ram.
That depends on the number of cores on each proc, the amount of RAM and the technology stack the site is built on. It also depends on whether you're virtualising and / or tuning the OS correctly. The disk setup - SAN vs DAS vs local drives plays a huge importance as well as, to an extent, the size of your existing database tables and the caching mechanisms you have in place. You've also asked about "server", not "servers".
The minimum spec for a single server to run each facet of (yes, I'm cheating) CodeProject with current visitor load would be:
1 6-core 16GB web server with, say, 3 virtual web servers.
1 dual proc 12 core SQL server with 64Gb RAM. Bring this down to a single 6-core, 8GB if you start with empty tables.
1 lazy machine with 16GB for running caching using AppFabric. The better you make this, the cheaper you can go on your database server
1 linux based mail forwarder
DNS, AD, Firewall
Double everything up for redundancy.
You could go lower, fairly easily, but I love having headroom.

How i can access to a computer information that it is in a network with other computer?
of course when that computer is off.
i mean , do we can access to a computer information in network when it is off?
thanks so much for your regard.

sure. By being pushed, or towed, or going downhill. Now can you access that computer that is powered off, or can't you?
