My server just hit front page digg.com, and it was #7 on the alexa.commovers and shakers list. A single thread on a forum I host was the culprit, and the page itself must have 10-15 mysql queries generated by PHP. At one point I had 3,400 simultaneous connections, moving over 20megabits of traffic PER SECOND. I moved at least 100gbs of traffic in 48 hours. All of this was on a tuned dual-processor Opteron 246 with 2 gbs of RAM. So yeah, 25k visitors/week is nothing and can be handled easily by any modern hardware.

Any hardware from this century will have no problem. We had to upgrade a FreeBSD box from 32Mb to 128Mb RAM when traffic went above 1.5 million a month (30k/day). That included quite a lot of dynamic stuff. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
