I am currently looking to get a dedicated server and would like to know how many hits a day that would be able to handle.

I don't see how you can measure how many hits it will be able to handle with the specs you have given. We do have the speed and amount of memory but what is it serving? Surely a RaQ serving static html files will perform better than a RaQ with the same amount of hits serving scripts and databases. Just off the top of my head, I probably would not put more than 50 'normal' sites on a RaQ such as that, and if they were sites with lots of scripts or databases then 50 may be too many. Of course 'normal' is hard to determine as well but I'll let you be the judge of it.

Regards,

your question is kinda absurd... we need more info to answere this question...

Then say my site that gets about 75,000 daily page views and 115,000 hits the rest being mainly images.

there is very little cgi used and all the pages are static not generated by either cgi or ssi.

So would I be able to put my site one of the these, with out to much problems.

But how much bandwidth can you expect a RAQ4 to take without it falling over, as 4web and rackshack provide 100gig+.

Also, is there any limit to the number of user accounts you can have. I am thinking of hosting 1200 accounts with very tiny bandwidth allocations for each account (personal home pages). Also do they allow that many domains on their DNS servers!

Thanks

Well, it isn't that a RaQ can't handle traffic, just that it isn't the best choice for a high load type box. I think there are limitations (though I'm not vertain as to what they are exactly) as to the number of sites you can host on a RaQ4. It isn't the best choice for a FWP.
