I'm in the process of releasing a large site for one of the largest music festivals in sweden: http://www.arvikafestivalen.se/.
We put it there last friday and we have already run the server down on it's knees. And this with only around 10-20 users at once. 😬

You say it is a question of increasing the hardware Damian, but do you have any conrete examples of what kind of traffic one could expet to be handled by a ceirtain "level" of hardware?
