I have a server and a web site with about 200.000 visits a month (40.000 unique visits and 200 GB of traffic). There are up to 50 users online a the same time.

My site is growing ... and I can expect up to 500 users online at the same time. What server(s) should I rent? How long could i live with existing server? Is it already overloaded acording to the information I have attached?

If your site volume increases, try jumping to an AMD or Xeon.

Server today is much more affordable then before. If you can do Dual Athlon or Opteron with 2GB RAM and SATA drive, I believe you will be in good shape.
