i always thought it's an issue with the hosting company, but mine (surpass hosting) had this reply for me...

Quote:

my problem is some members reported to me that when over 200 users logon at the same, my site simply went dead

is there any limit set by XOOPS

thanks

Not that I am aware of.

We certainly does not have

Anywhere

200 concurrent users is quite a lot, though, and I would indeed throw the ball back to Surpass. I am not saying that XOOPS is fantastic for very high-traffic sites as I do not have the sufficient factual backup (I don't have anything saying the opposite, though) but if the page cannot be served due to too many users online, then it is a problem with the server's resources (which may be caused by XOOPS' inability to handle that number of users without drawing too much on the resources) and should be visible in server logs/stats for CPU, Memory or bandwidth usage.
