Hello everyone!

I wonder if "Linode 300" is a good solution for me. I run a multi-site Drupal installation and I currently host my sites with DreamHost. Some time ago they disabled the database table used by the search engine.

From what I've heard the problem with most Drupal sites is a large number of database queries. My sites are visited by about 30 000 visitors per month (as reported by Google Analytics) and they currently generate a maximum of 10 000 database connections and 2 000 000 queries per day.

Do you think "Linode 300" can handle it?

We're not trying to ignore you, but this is a really hard question to give a definitive answer to.

I want to say yes, assuming your database's indexing, caching, keys, etc are set up appropriately. But it'll only cost you $20 to find out for sure. And it's easy to move up a bit if you need to.

Er ... would this be ten thousand concurrent connections, or just 10k connections over the period of one day, with an active pool of say 20-50 concurrent connections?
