 How much upload speed do I need for a Web server?
I want to run a web server from my home. Hypothetical situation...Windows server 2003 with 4 gb of memory and single website. I have a 3mbps download and a 300 kbps upload(I know 300 is low). So if my home page is 37.5 KB, does that mean that I can only server up one page a second? Considering there are 37.5 KB in 300kbps. With that said, if 1000 people hit my site at the same time, does this mean the 1000th person would receive their page 1000 seconds later?
Can someone clarify this, I am having trouble understanding this concept. If so what is a good upload speed for a site to serve fast page views if say someone posted my site on digg or youtube.
