Running dedicated server, like to add another forum but..

[luchtzakje]

.. so I am running my dedicated server here at jagpc. Have 1 big website (phpbb 3.0) forum on it and a few small ones. CPU load 4% last 200 days no downtime or crash (knock on wood). Lets say that the server handles the websites very well.

Now I would like to host another popular phpbb 3.0 board on this dedicated server: www.malinwa.be/msg lots of visitors, lots of posts, dense traffic occassionally (it's a football supporters forum).

Do you think the server will handle or do you think it's a nono? Thanks for your opinion!

You should be OK.

That said, I can't really understand the site. How many posts & visitors a day do you get on the forum you want to add, and what kind of CPU / memory do you have on your dedicated server?

[luchtzakje]

87 messages per day thus far, 7622 in total.
maximum of 67 users in 5 minutes.
posts/topics are being pruned frequently

And an average of 50 gigs bandwidth per month.

Sounds pretty lightweight for a dedicated box with a well-tuned forum.

Sounds like you will be fine. Like Ron said, for well written software it's rather light.

Although 50 GB of bandwidth seems rather high :-O
