My blog and source downloads are on Dreamhost: http://www.oilshell.org/ http://www.oilshell.org/ It's been working pretty well. It's apparently held up to being on the front page of HN 4-5 times, which generates a large amount of traffic (more than any subreddit it's been on, which is quite a few). It's probably around 50,000 - 100,000 HTTP requests in that day. Being on HN attracts both humans and bots. Although that's around 1 per second average, it's pretty concentrated in a few hours. But it's not like they can't handle 5-10 requests per second for a single site. It's all on a single machine, but I'm sure their machines can handle thousands of requests per second. It's probably pretty unlikely that more than a few sites on the box get even 1 request per second. Occasionally people do run wget over the site, but that hasn't seemed to matter either.
