Any tips on handling short term heavy traffic?
I'm a little worried about my site after next week. The site is powered by vb and next week my site will be featured in a couple very big media outlets. Smart Money Magazine being one of them. So I'm looking at my traffic going from 2000 people a day to over 25,000 - 50,000 a day for only about a few weeks. Personally I don't know if my server can handle that heavy of a traffic level. We handled 15,000 fine with some minor down times a year ago. The big thing is that this will be gone just as fast as it comes. So any tips on what I can do to help the site continue to run if problem begin to occur. Like any big little known resource hogs that I can turn off etc. I'm hoping other vb boards have dealt with this situation before.
