Hello all!

I've just had a vB site up for about 6 months now, so forgive me for being a newbie, but I must ask a newbie question:

What should I expect for Server Load Averages on my forums?

As I said, I have a brand new site, with next to NO traffic, and these are the Server Load Averages currently in my AdminCP:

3.50, 5.75, 7.93

Is that good or bad? What does it mean? How do I interpet these numbers? Are lower numbers better, or higher?

I currently host with 1&1, but I will be switching within the week to HostGator, for larger capacity and hopefully faster speeds.

What should I expect to see for my server load averages once I move to HostGator? That will still be a shared hosting plan, but they are supposed to be much quicker from everyone's posts.

Any understanding you could help bring my way, would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Jeff

basically impossible :P well not really but super expensive.

My server has about 100 accounts on it (shared hosting) and rarely do we go over 0.5 (mind you this is a small Pentium D 3.0GHZ Dual Processor w. 2GB ram)

What about a 67 million processor computer?

Now that would be useful in my house

I seemed to have lowered the load by using a different chatbox system

generally; lowering the load starts with looking where the load is coming from

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
