one my sites could hit 500+ during peak hours
it was "okay" b4 on a shared account, though a bit slow as expected. recently i've moved to a VPS as an upgrade (or so i thought), it simply went dead once reaching 300 or so.
since that site only attracts 20 or so during non peak hours (peak hours only last 3 hrs / day), i don't think it deserves to be on a dedicated machine.
so is that my problem with the settings (my.cnf - no idea how to tweak it) or should i simply go back to a shared reseller account?
many thanks for your comment and advice.
