What do you think this server could deal with for visiters? Number of visiters on the site at the same time? 800Mhz Intel Celeron, 640MB of RAM, Western Digital Hard drive 7200RPM, 100MB network card, 512kb upload, 1.5mb download
It runs apache, email, mysql, runs a PHP form, and some html pages

MMeffert I moved your post to its own thread.
I would guess depend on the type of website it is, you could have 15+ visitors on a forum like this. Once the users downloaded the graphics, your server would only be sending raw data. You are going to run out of bandwidth before you stress the server.
What type of website are you planning on making?

I'd have to agree with SoulWatcher, your bandwidth will be gone in a flash if the site is graphic intesnive/has downloads. Your line is designed for home use only by the looks of it.

I use it just to host my sit because I want all the resourses for my site. The site has no downloadable files but it does have some graphics for the template. I wanted to know what you thought it could hold because once I get about 3-4 people on the forums at the same time it starts to have some errors. Any suggestions? If seeing the site would help estimate the load it can take the site is www.MitchellMeffert.com

I took a look at your forums and 3 people were on the forums. Every thing seems ok to me. I even did a few searches and it was fine. What type of errors are you getting?
P.S. Your website is nice and speedy.

Ok. Some people tell me it is speedy so I guess I should believe them. I just visit my site and never think it is fast enough. I guess sense I have moved from windows I have not got enough people on there at one time to see if I still have the errors. By switching to linux it may have fixed it. The other day there were 15 guests on there but I think it was a search engine because all the IP addresses were very close to each other. What do you think about the forums? Are the forums going to use alot of bandwidth? I know you said before that the connection would be the bottleneck so I do not think the server should have any problem doing the Mysql inserting and stuff.
We were not really getting errors it was just that it would timeout or just not bring up a page because it could not keep up.

There are some programs where you can reduce the file size down.. and you can view the image.. too see if it looks worse. But usually you can get a few KBs off before the quality changes.
