I was under the impression that this website was hosted on a shared account? It says over 100 people are logged in currently.. Can a shared account really handle that?

lol, this site is on a completely dedicated server... the server does not do anything (as far as I know) except run WHT...

refer to this thread for the server specs..

i wonder what made you think this site was run under a shared hosting environment - lol, the server would crap on itself ;)

We outgrew a shared plan about what... 60 GB's ago? :D
