To be able to have 100 users

by **JRandall** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 10:20 am

I would like to be able to allow for up to 100 users in the chat room. Clearly using a shared server will not work. So, I wondering if a VPS will do the trick. If so would you suggest a hosting company for me. I was looking at myhosting.com.
Thank you.

I guess I should also say that I'm currently using a wordpress CMS and will actually be moving the entire website to the VPS server. The reason for it is because I had the Chat room up and running and only had aprox 45-50 people in the room when the current hosting server shut it down for using to many processes.
I hold a weekly meeting and can have upwards of 100 people joining. I don't want to be getting shut down any more so I was thinking I could move to a VPS.
Could you please let me know if this would work better? I would also like to know if you could tell me aprox how much Bandwidth, and RAM would be needed on the VPS to be able to handle 100 users.

Thank You.

Hi,

There isn't a way to know, only testing never got any luck with phpfreechat in a vps and I tried everything I could think of in reducing its cpu usage..

hopelessly you will have better look..

regards.

Try this: Set the offset delay time to 200ms, if your server is strong and powerful, the chat may be stable. It seems crazy, but functions for me. I'm in a godaddy 2HG server.

Thank you I'll give that a try. Now, I'm new to this program and only have 1 quarter of PhP, advanced class is this next quarter. So, with that in mind could you explain to me please exactly where I enter in that time delay at and maybe tell me what it's doing?
Thank you.

Yes, of course, try to add this line in to the params zone of your chat file:

$params['refresh_delay'] = 200;

This was improved the stability and speedup the chat for me, with many users online.
