Re: Help, sudenly the number of users increase to 190 users +, and it kills my website
How many registered users do you have?
Are you allowing anonymous users to read your pages?
We currently have about 90 registered users (max 10 online at the same time) but are about to have an influx of about another 100 users.
What guidelines to people have for numbers of registered users, and concurrent users?
