That would most likely cost a lot more.

I was just going to say going with an 8 drive array would allow for more space. Such as going with a raid array of 4 or 8 600gig SAS drives. Granted the price might need to go up. But really if someone needs 10 to 20 gigs of storage the price might need to go up according. And if you 30 plus your probably looking at VPS territory. I was thinking maybe its time to bump up semi dedicated pricing to 40-60 from the current 20-30. Its currently a steal and really if people need a lot of resources and a lot of space they are going to have to pay for it. It seems like a waste to only offering a few gigs of space for people who need a lot of resources. I would argue that 40-60 dollars is still a good deal if that can include 10-20 gigs of space or at least more than 5. That might also allow for a lower server populations. That would allowing keeping the older sever up for those that didn't want to move. And not short new members or put MDD in the poor house for eating excessive costs.

I don't know if a lot of people know but MDDs pricing for semi dedicated is lower than most offerings out there. Granted some offer lower sever populations but you sure do pay for it. last time I checked it wasn't out of the norm to see 100 bucks plus for a very large semi dedicated plan. That I think puts things in prospective a bit.

Mike should be able to give a more specific answer. But for MDD hosting servers as they currently are 5 is not a high sever load. Sever load is really complicated and I'll be honest I don't fully understand. But neither do most people. For the most part a low load sever can still be slow and a high load sever can still be fast. In general sever load of 1 and below per core is acceptable. So any load of 16 or less at MDD should be fine. Because current the severs are all dual quad Xeon 5620's. Which show in sever as 16 cores. Most also consider trying to keep the server load under 0.75 so for MDD that would be a load of 12. So pretty much 12-16 is fine and anything below that shouldn't cause any worries. But getting back to your question. I wouldn't set that function in your forum software. Mostly because your not on a VPS or Dedicated sever and that function is more to keep the sever from being brought down by one site. MDD is using Cloud Linux which helps to control server load you don't really need to worry about it. Unless MDD tells you using too many resources. But if still want to set it, I would set it no lowerr than 20 and probably at 30 or higher. As you don't want your forum to turn away members if there is a small spike.

No, I think she is means 5 as in the server load number.
