Way not enough information. Like, you can host 30 websites on a 386sx-25 with 64 megs of ram - if they're low demand enough. It really has no relevancy to the number of sites. Its all about how many file presentations you're handling, and more importantly, how many dynamic script presentations y

No, i didn't preload the scripts - I'm not familiar with the technique, and it seems like there's enough dynamic fvariable-writing and storage of html values done in the scripts that large chunks would be unfairly 'written' and cause duplication. Its a bad system design for this volume, it should
