I'm trying to decide between dedicated hosting and a VPS setup. Make sure I understand this correctly. In both cases, you can control your mysql connections, and you get all of them, so that won't change. The thing that changes between a VPS and a dedicated server is the amount of RAM and CPU that you are given, right?
Having said that, for a site that isn't media intensive (mostly flat page), how am I to gauge how much RAM/CPU I need, especially when the numbers for expected visitors is obviously throwing a dart at a board? Is there any general rule of thumb for how many page views/users/hits translates into xxx RAM/CPU requirements?
I understand this is a almost ridiculous question, as it is difficult to pinpoint something like this, but am I able to expect hundreds of users on a VPS? Thousands? 20? Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
