What kind of hit volume can a Virtual Server support?

Our Virtual Private Servers are designed to handle a low to medium hit load (under 100,000 10kb hits a day for the Low End Virtual Private Servers and 600,000 10kb hits a Day for the Higher End vitual private servers). If a site begins to receive over 600,000 10kb hits a day, web page response will begin to be affected. Those who have web sites experiencing over 600,000 10kb hits per day should consider a Dedicated Server. |
A Dedicated Server can accommodate well over 1 million hits a day.
