Hello,

I saw some VPS/VDS providers have VPS/VDS with 50Mhz, 3% of Dual P31.13(or 67.8Mhz), 100, 200, 300... etc CPU power. How do I know/calculate the need of Mhz for my website?

How many Mhz would Cpanel/WHM require if running on VPS/VDS?and a forum with unique daily visits of 10000? any formula to use?

thanks.

would be tough... cpanel eats some resources.... (are u planning to run all cpanel features inside of VPS? mail, pop, imap, named, control panels etcetc?

yes, mail (pop/smtp/imap), httpd, named, cp... a full Cpanel

I don't think your site will be doing fine on this environment...

do u really want to spend thousands for cpanel just for a forum hosting site? You do not need a control panel for just that

thank you. how about just a forum? phpbb?

well forums are usually resource intensive, unless you do not have a lot of active users.. probably you will be doing fine, but when you user base grows to 50..100+ (concurrent users) then you should be moving to a dedicated box..

but VPS is a bit better choice that virtual anyway, because you are guaranteed with some server resources and your host can't blame you that you are using 100% all the time of all allocated resources for your VPS account.. (if this is a real VPS solution)....

if a forum can work fine in a shared hosting environment, then it will/may work better in a VPS. On a shared hosting, assume 300 hosted accounts on a Dual P3/1Ghz, then on fair usage, you will be lucky to be using 7Mhz of CPU resources for your site :) VPS has its own overhead (running its own apache, etc), but 100 Mhz CPU can be plenty for a small-medium forum.
