What kind of use do you give to your servers?

Hi,

1. I wonder what kind of use you give to your servers. Do you host your own website there? Have a small hosting company?

2. What kind of servers does it take to have a small hosting company, also, how many?

3. I´ve been with hosting companies that have thousands (they say).

4. How do you determine the simultanious connections that a server can have?

Thank you for your time.

Yes we have our own servers.
You can run a small hosting company with one server. You just need a reseller account/dedicated server to run it on.
It is difficult to say how much traffic a server can handle. It depends on the site, how well it is coded, is it dynamic or static etc.
A 1GHz box can push 1,000,000 page views of a fairly dynamic site if it is setup correctly so you need alot of traffic to demand anything else.
