100k users- wp with vestacp on dedi

[asdcxz]

Hi,

I was planing to start a website where from the first week i will be getting 100K users a day in the evening times.

so i will be using wordpress and vestacp default configuration and below is my server

Dual L5420
8Gb ram
240 GB SSD

Does dual 5420 and 8 gb ram can handle 100k users or i need to go for a higher configuration cpu.

could any one suggest me on this

Thanks

It depends from a lot of factors, ex how "heavy" your website is (how many plugins do you have etc).

I personally host a website with 120k page views per day on an Intel Xeon E3 1245v2, with 8GB Ram and SSD Drives on Ubuntu 14.04, with MariaDB, nginx + PHP-FPM.

What is the load average you get with your sites @ 120k views on the E3 proc?

Usually around 2, on peak times (more than 500 simultaneous users) it goes up to 4.

My bottleneck is CPU, not Ram or SSD. I am caching some things and running Wordpress.
