Off topic, but does anyone know roughly how much traffic front page of HN generates?
- jsjohnst 9y agoNot enough where any hosting provider should fall over for a mostly static page.

- jsjohnst 9y agoKnew of a couple articles like this, but didn’t have a link handy. Basically as I assumed, at best 50K views in a day. That’s averaging less than one page view a second. For a blog, that’s a ton of traffic. For a professional business, let alone a hosting provider, that shouldn’t be an issue if they know what they are doing.
