Most of them were on overloaded shared hosting boxes. I know this because I worked for hosting providers in that era.

- slotrans 4y agoOh for sure. But doesn't that increase the returns to making the code more efficient? I don't remember which software it was but one of them would show, in the footer, a count of MySQL queries run. My memory tells me it would usually be in the 30-something range, maybe 50-something. It could have been 1!

The footer has the number of queries and number of seconds it took to generate the page (in my case, their community forum index page used 9 queries and took ~0.3 seconds to generate). https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php#footer https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php#footer
- RajT88 4y agoYep. That's how it went with my friends and I hosting phpBB for many years on a linux-based hosting provider. When I spun up YAF.Net on an AWS IIS server, with a same-machine backend of SQLEXPRESS, it ran like a champ for years with hardly a blip. 16 bucks a month. It wasn't ever really snappy, per se, but at least it was consistent and didn't bog down.
