Static website with 100K page views/month can happily be served without breaking drop of sweat from a little NUC sitting in one's basement. Not sure what is so exciting about that particular number.

- semi-extrinsic 7y agoI think views per second is a more intuitive metric. 100k views/month is 0.04 views/sec.
- PretzelFisch 7y agoIf your trying to spec hosting hardware this isn't helpful, since you have to plan for serving requests at peak time. The real question is what is the max views/sec the site receives in a given year.
- ClumsyPilot 7y agoA little NUC sitting in one's basement should not be underestimated. A modern NUC has 4 cores / 8 threads, an NVMe SSD and offers performance equivalent to a $300/month Azure/AWS VM. There are backup/availability/connection concerns, but in terms of performance bare metal on one's basement can't be beaten.
- FpUser 7y agoAs I have 1gbps symmetric connection I serve some API right from my basement. One API in particular has no problems serving hundreds of requests per second from the NUC with the exact parameters you just mentioned. As for backup I use 2 things: Internal scheduled backup to hard drives that will be physically disconnected most of the time. Standby redundant synchronized server deployed somewhere else for peanuts. It is not as performant as said NUC but will do while the emergency is fixed on main one.
