Sounds like this setup would be ideal for our purposes after we establish ourselves. I like having a non-shared physical server, however the downfall currently is that I don't have power backups or fail-safe backups should hardware begin to fail, that would all have to be done by myself which could become chaos if the product is successful, but I guess the hope is that if you receive that level of success you'll be able to fund raise to build out infrastructure and the team to maintain everything and build out further. What are the specs on your servers and what kind of load can you handle? I'm curious because I just have a single server, the specs are ok, it's a quad core 2.4ghz processor, 2GB RAM (forgot the rating, but I think it's DDR2 and it's dual channel I believe) with a 1TB hard drive, runs Ubuntu Server (latest release), so it doesn't have a GUI sucking up any RAM, but I'm not sure what kind of load (# of users it can handle simultaneously) and would very much appreciate some insight if you have any stats available. I currently have apache configured for 600 Max Clients, but the web application itself uses a decent amount of memory because it utilizes website scraping...With 600 Max Clients and 450 started it shows that I have 700MB ram free, I have a feeling I'll need some more RAM before a wide launch, but I think what I have should be sufficient for a beta launch of several hundred users
