Ask HN: do you have any low end boxes/VPS? If so, what do you do with them?
The more impressive the better. I wonder if there's someone out there who's hosting a 10,000 uniques/day site on a 128MB VPS. I have 3 VPS that i pay roughly £12 a year for. One is a personal VPN, one serves files for a small VB app i'm making and the last one just serves as a place to mess around in and test different configurations out. I also host a site for friends on my Raspberry Pi which is hosted at home (works great btw). I run nginx on everything, but my playground VPS is running Lighttpd as i want to test something new.
I get zero to 5 visitors (friends) to my sites at any one day. Due to this, i don't know how well my VPS or my Pi would handle a larger amount of visitors. Are there any recommended tools to test this?
- pmtarantino 13y agoInteresting question :) I'd like to know this too!

Are there any recommended tools to test this? Google search for 'load testing tools.' Apache's AB (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html) or Locust ( http://locust.io http://locust.io ) will do this for you.
