iis6
Is there a limit for creating Sites in IIS. i have searched and some forums have it in discussion which says there is no limit. Someone mentioned that he has created upto 100,000 sites in IIS 6 but i dont know his server specs though.
Personally i feel that whatever the limit of IIS, the resources will be run out well before the limit reaches.
how do big sites like blogger and wordpress handle a huge number of sites on their server.
Questions:
1) Is there an upper limit for IIS 6.0? if yes then what is it
2) What should be a good number of requests IIS should serve for a decent server? (I am not talking about dynamic requests on server or logs.)
3) Is there a way I can do the test run on my cloud to test the capability of my server. what factors should i keep in view. db request, page size, disk read/writes etc ? Response shall be highly appreciated.
