CunningStunt · 09-04-2008, 06:47 PM

I have a site that is starting to struggle - it has over 1000 people on at any one point in time, not massive I know, but at the rapid rate it is expanding, it is just a matter of time before I need a dedicated box, and mirrored servers. The VPS isn't up to it.

The VPS I'm on now has this spec:

Quad-Core Xeon
1280MB DDR2 ECC 667 RAM
40GB on SAS/SCSI
10Mbps Unmetered BW

I need something failsafe as advertisers are on there, so a mirrored setup is preferable.

I'm all ears.
