If you have no idea how to handle "high traffic", you shouldn't be in charge of a high traffic website

I agree domainguru, I agree. I just wasn't expecting such a huge imediate sucess and traffic.

I know what to do. Implement php compression, server cache, move images and video over to another server, etc, etc

Nice going Jose. I can't honestly say I have a clue about any of this 2.0 stuff, but good luck anyway!

What you want to do is make the pages as lean as possible, as Edwin said. Enable apache gzip compression.

Optimize all images. Optimize everything.

Get rid of PHP. Use a small, quick perl or modperl script. A modular one that you can edit yourself.

Get a medium sized dedicated server.

Follow the golden rule of not serving any data that isn't necessary. Take a page out of craigslist. Study the html. If you can add an under 1K css page to a craigslist style of page, you can appear to be very pro and still be as lean as craigslist.

Seek help from someone who knows, or start researching on all these topics fast.

This is your big day, and you should have been preparing to go from 0 to 60, and then to 6,000 in one minute all this time.

Planning to scale from day one means being lean and mean in html presentation, modular, and running on tightly written, fast, easy to modify code right from the start.

The other option is to simply change it to a parking page and earn PPC when you get spikes in traffic. ;)

Thanks a lot blast! I have even copy pasted and saved your post ;)

yanni: it's still a manual process. Send me a PM or mail about it. I have just sold frames 755, 756 and 757. Next available is 758.

TrendHunter.com had this to say:

"An incredible concept! It will be interesting to see how this pans out."

Good luck,
Sometimes it's great to do stuff non domain related...

Thanks RD, Blast and Genius. Very touching your attitude, guys! The real friend is the only able to honestly congratulate a friend for his success, and feels happy for him instead of envy.

On a different tone, I have just received a mail saying: What are “dn” domains? I have visited the forum linked from your site and noticed people selling foreign language domains. How can I know more about that?


LOL

Ops, same goes to Gamma and Olney! :) You posted while I was writting my post...

Get rid of the behemoth Apache and move to lighttpd. If you are using MySQL, get rid of that crap as well and move to Postgres.

http://csshyamsundar.wordpress.com/2006/10/29/apache-vs-lighttpd-a-comparison/


I use lighttpd with php-cli connected to a postgres backend running a geographic information site, and it's blindingly fast. I couldn't even start apache and mysql on the same machine...

The machine? Xen based Virtual Private Server with 128MB of memory and 2GB hard disk. Of course that little amount of memory wouldn't work for your site, just a demo of how little resources Lighttpd and Postgres actually require.

If you need help with network performance engineering, contact me via PM. I do this sort of thing for a living.
