VB's server load
 

So I bought the premium dedicated server package at Host Gator thinking it could handle several hundred people (max connections?). My server loads go through the roof and they said the max user connections were 500 and they would raise it to a limit of 600. Well, that doesn't help when the server loads are off the charts...

So I come over here and see that you guys currently have 900 users online and it's running quite fine. Perhaps I shouldn't ask this in public, but I'm looking for a server that will handle this without a fuss and that comes with a cPanel.

LOL....I noticed this on VBForum as well:

Would love to have seen the server loads on that one! ;)
