texte = Nitai,This is a guestimate since I do not know the average file size of images,etc.>From my experience 1.5 million hits a month is small to moderate trafficusage and will consume less than 10% of a T1 line each month. I don't knowwhat server you are using, but the average server should easily handle 2 - 4million hits a day. So I think you are safe with almost anything for 1.5million hits a month.But of course all this will depend on the complexity of your code. We had asite that was required to return thousands of records where each recordresulted in a series of nested searches. It wasn't a well designed databaseand it could not handle a load. It slowed the server to a crawl with only ahandful of concurrent users. But, hey, you wouldn't write code like that,right?Good Luck and Have Fun, PaulOn 6/26/03 3:09 AM, "Nitai @ ComputerOil"
