Can 4images handle very much users simultaneosly?

[trez]

Hello,

I just wanted to ask you that. My site is growing, now i have about 20 users online, but after some commercials next month on tv, the expected users online simultaneosly will be about 200 - 400. Can 4images handle this? My installation has about 50 MODs installed, i know that could slow down the site, but i don't want do get database or server errors, so i'am asking this

Thanks

Georgi

Well, if you have root access to your server (asuming it is *nix type) you can run this benchmark test program:[qcode]ab -kc 20 -t 30 http://yoursiteaddress/[/qcode]

20 - number of simultenious connections.
30 - seconds the test will continue

When its done, it should show you what went wrong (if anything) and how much time it spent on requests, etc.

For best results it should be done from another server, so it could also test the network.
