>When you say "a large amount of traffic" how many people are you

It was in my long posting, but here's the relevant bit:
"The end result for the 31st was 5,393,594 Requests ("hits") which translates
to 231,286 page views and 35,048 visits (as reported by SmarterStats). We
transferred about 15Gig of data. Over 50% of that traffic was from
9:30am-1:30pm."
For the busiest time that's about 29,000 page views an hour (around 8 pages a
second).
Of course "large amount" is relative. I've worked on enteprise sites that get
more traffic, but not many that get this kind of traffic regulary. (In fact
most enteprise sites get far less traffic that you might expect.)
But for a small non-profit site I think this is very large. ;^) Of course the
whole point is that this kind of traffic is seen for only one day year. Thus
the issues with hosting and resource planning and money and so forth.
If this site were getting sustained traffic at this rate I've no doubt we could
find some way for it to finance itself.
