thanks!

my traffic is low but was just wondering if fcgi could handle a surge in traffic, like maybe a slash dot digg effect. does fcgi buffer incoming requests? would mongrel be able to handle it? assuming no caching is involved.
thanks!
thanks!

FCGI is much faster on our servers and can easily handle a fair number of requests. But yes, If you except the number of hits to go up, mongrel would guarantee a higher performance for a longtime to come.

Hello,
Normally less robust sites are unable to cope with the huge increase in traffic and become unavailable – common causes are
1]lack of sufficient bandwidth (BW depends on the plan you have taken with us)
2]servers that fail to cope with the high number of requests, and traffic quotas
Sites that are maintained on shared hosting services often fail when confronted with the Slashdot effect.
1]Does fcgi buffer incoming requests?
There in no limit set as such that prevents the number of requests. But in a shared environment especially during times of peak activity the number of requests will be cut down to prevent high load on the server.
2]would mongrel be able to handle it?
Well inorder to make the domain work with mongrel support. You will have to buy dedicated memory. Depending on the weight of the application , you will have to decide the amount of dedicated memory and the number of clusters required to run the application. This usually serves the purpose in most cases.

Hi Koloa, when they're both up and rockn' - I think FastCGI and Mongrel can handle similar requests per second. However, the advantage of using mongrel is generally for stability. We've seen clients sail fine through slashdotting with a mongrel cluster - and they usually have at least 3-4.
