Joomla on Shared

[avinash]

I currently run a website on Baby Crock Hosting, and it's using a CMS called Tinyportal. [www.tinyportal.net]. Now I was thinking of upgrading my site to joomla [www.joomla.org], but I had some questions about load. Currently my site has about 20 users on at once, but at peak times, this can rise to 70 users online at once. Will the hostgator shared package I'm on support this type of load in joomla?

I don't think you will have any problem. It is unlikely that 70 members will be clicking on a new page in any given moment.

The most I ever really had on my site was around 30 to 40 at one time (during the 24 season of course) and everything ran fine... no problems. I'm running Joomla and am also on the baby croc plan.

Joomla rocks btw.

On those accounts you can have 25 concurrent connections. That means that if you have more than 25 users on line, you may have a very slim changes of someone getting a "max connection limit" message. Normally with 25 connections you should be able to get 300-400 users online before you start to see and real problems. A well behaved program could get 700 users on line at one time without a problem.

Man I wish I got that kind of traffic.

Thanks for the replys everyone. I will be upgrading my site soon, and I'll post once its done. I hope baby croc is tough enough for joomla +50 or so users. Also, I've run joomla on godaddy shared servers before, and it DIED! Was a terrible experience with lag.
