You must log in to post replies.i am running on cloudflare, they don't host anything for you. all they do is cache your site and deliver the cache to their datacenters around the globe so your site will load fast like if your server was locally owned. with that aside, as all servers with high traffic, the servers itself will need to be upgraded. there are ways to reduce load on your server like opcode caching, removing white spaces from css/js files, use google's libraries for javascript instead of having it hosted on your server, etc.
this is why i disable file upload on my site due to my data folder getting way too big but it'll be re-enabled when i have a better box.
@@ Cim , without images files what is the use of the community site. Image is the must there should be some cheaper solution where I can place my data folder its growing like anything..
And even if you have site like "http://community.elgg.org" even though ur data base will increase with no limit..
I need suggestion from the community, even I would say need suggestions from seniors in this community who have better expertise in handling larger site with very effective way.
Please help!!!

i've read on the internet somewhere that facebook has over 180k servers
ummm... fbfk runs only 1 server to manage 1/4 mill users and 62GB total db, code, data.
@Dhrup - is fbfk still going? I went on it a while ago and it was dead as a doornail...

the kids seem to be marketability savvy ?!;-)
and kodeman and maddi seem to be having a lil affairz ;oO
Do not know about 180k servers but they use Akamai CDN.
