Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Whats does it take?

I am thinking of starting my own bulletin board for local car enthisust (sp). I was wondering what kind of connection I need to run a bare bones website. I have a seprate computer that I run an apache server off of. I usally can get 300k second burst upstream and down stream is 768k. I was wondering if this would be enuff. Any other sugggestions would be appreciated. What kind of cost am I looking at and what kind of maintnance am I looking at.

How many people are going to be accessing the site at one time? You don't want any timeouts or traffic overflow; people will get mad...

This is why the CEG requires a T1 line to keep going...

Would 50 people be to much for my connection?

no, but the omaha scene messageboard started with about 15 people this spring, we're at over 700 now, dont underestimate the power of word of mouth
