I have a little Q for you...

How much bandwidth would I need in order to support 2000-3000 users on a dedicated sever at any one given time?

And, how do you calculate this?
~Thanx

2000-3000 users on one d-server?? is that a typing error or did you really mean 2000-3000 Users? What d-server is it? PVIII 10gz with 10gb ram? I dun think this is quiet a feasible task.

And, how do you calculate this?
There are a lot of factors involved in this. You approximate the space used by each, the number of hits each page gets. You have to look at statistics mainly. The hosts around here would be able to help you more with it.

He was sleepy I guess

I suggest you ask a FWP that has multiple dedicated servers with approx. 2,000 users on their servers what the average usage of the servers run. This is probably for a FWP (I'm guessing), so best to ask the people who've been there.

well i'll make the assumption that chicken is right and we are talking FWP here! :)

using the "Dexter Math System" :)
2000 users times say 500mb/month usages(WAY more than any website at a FWP uses but i like using even numbers and besides it's best to overguess than under) equals approxmetly 1000gigs of transfer a month or in terms of line speed that can carry that much traffic is is a t3/ds3 at 45megabits which in raw gigs/month is over 14,000...

don't ya just love my math!
