Even with straight HTML, a server's load capacity is not infinite. If my own server, an old Pentium with 4 GB of hard drive space, and which serves nothing but static HTML pages, got hit with more than a couple hundred hits in a short period of time, it would bomb.
I must be misunderstanding your question. I've re-read your original post, and it seems to me that what you're trying to do is save webpage-bound database data in a way which will seriously reduce the load on a webserver; creating static HTML pages from database data instead of building pages dynamically when the user calls them would accomplish that goal, and that is what I was suggesting. val petruchek wrote: >>It seems to me that the major problem with news sites such as cnn.com or >>msnbc.com on dates like 9/11 was the sheer number of visitors coming to >>the site.
