Hi, I'm also a dreamhoster who is just getting into
Drupal. I'm in the process of developing a drupal website
(<a href="http://test.cubiclearmy.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://test.cubiclearmy.com</a>) and am wondering if you know the load a
Dreamhost Drupal website can take before it hits the 30-40 cpu minutes.
It is a little hard for me to guess since the site isn't live, but it
has the potential to have hundreds of visitors a day. I can't afford
dedicated hosting unless those hundreds of visitors a day will make
enought AdSense traffic to justify the dedicated box (which I doubt).
Thanks for any insights.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/29/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Greg Knaddison</b> <<a href="mailto:greg.knaddison@gmail.com">greg.knaddison@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
