[olug] Hosting Costs and Estimates

[Jeremy Bettis]

I have seen a web site with 1M hits per month, otherwise very similar to
your situation running on a Celeron 1G with 512 meg of ram and the
machine is usually 99% idle.  Very low load-averages all the time.

Any dedicated server should be able to handle your site just fine.
