Ok very wierd question and hard to answer, but about how many clients would i be able to host(200 megs of space + 7 gigs of transfer) with a dual p3 500mhz machine. Each server running php,asp,mysql,cgi and all the other common stuff that goes with cpanel.

Thanks for the help, dbbrock1!

I'd say you'd use up your 200megs space and 7gigs transfer LONG before you come close to using the CPU to it's capacity.

200mb 7gb for each client? or overall.

well, it's really hard to say, because it will really depend on CGI load, php/mysql load and other factors. Also, not all clients will use 200MB and transfer 7GB per month. I would say with normal usage (depending on HDD space) you will be doing fine with 200 clients or even more, let's say 300-400. If all statistic and not that popular web site-easily 500...600 domains

Of course, if all clients willtransfer 7GB per monthand use heavy perl/cgi/phpscripts and host forums,then 100 no more... but then again, it's really hard to say
