hi

is there a mybb's website that runs on multiple servers here ?

Maybe many. But as far as i know HackForums use 2-3 servers.

Yea, hackforums uses multiple servers. I think labrocca has a mysql cluster set up too

Yup.

Forums happen to be one of the most intense scripts for a site you can run. A single page can have dozens of queries.

HF is run on multiple servers and I utilize a CDN to serve static content. It has a dedicated DB server with 24GB ram and dual quad-core processor. The web server is getting old but it's an 8GB quad-core. It's running fine but will be replaced in the next few months. That's the basics.

I've personally spoken with many large forum owners and some spend 20k-100k per year to host their forums. I'm still under 10k per year but that's only because I'm the sysadmin and spend a great deal of time on it.

DP for example runs a very serious rack system in a datacenter. But they run more than just a forum. He also earns a great deal more than I do so he can justify the costs.

I don't see a great need to get a rack in the next 18 months but after that it's possible I may benefit from a half-rack with my own colocated cluster.

HF, NCAAbbs (Possibly), UnR, and I'm sure there are a few more.

How many servers do you utilize for UnR?

I don't see UnR being that active.

Quite right. Not going to deny the fact activity is low, but real life comes before the internet.

Oh no, I was just saying that in regards to the forum being hosted on more than one server.

Sorry, I misinterpreted what you meant.

There's a separate server for the database, but that's because I have other uses for the main server.
