Hello all,

i am planning to deploy my ROR app on a VPS. as i m quite new to be a  
web admin, i want to choose something easy to deploy.

i come accross LiteSpeed, i heard that it’s easy to install and  
maintain as well. but the free version has a 150 max concurrent  
connection limit. i want to know how much traffic a month if i hit  
this limit? my site is just a normal site, no heavy multimedia or  
images load.

thank you very much.

The connection limit most likely won’t be a problem for any website that  
can run on a VPS. I serve a few million pages per month with lsws and  
don’t have any problems.

well let’s say that all of your requests take 1 second (some probably  
take  
a lot less) that’s still 150 \* 24 \* 60 \* 60 = 12,960,000 requests/day  
which is a lot for a “normal site”.
