Drupal vendors need an authoritative one page guide that will help them
advise their clients on hardware requirements for running a Drupal
site.


Each category should have:
-hardware profile
-example site
-example traffic profile


I suggest the following 5 categories.
1) Shared hosting monthly
A list of low costs hosts, OS, DB, basic requirements.
Monthly fees
Example site: traffic profiles


2) Virtual server
Drive size, RAM, CPU, Number of DBs
Example sites Drupal.org? 


3) Own server
Single processor, RAM, Local DB, hosting adminstration costs, RAIDed
disks, Processor
Bryght.com?
Smart Campaigns?

4) Seperate web server and shared database
Single or dual processor web server connected to a large shared DB
server run by a vendor.
Vendors?


5)Single DB Server with multiple web servers
