Static websites can serve a very large amount of traffic as compared to websites where each page results in a database call to generate.
One open source tool to stress test a website is JMeter: http://jmeter.apache.org/ http://jmeter.apache.org/
You could do your own pre-stress test and see what the VM can produce. Then you will have actual numbers, rather than guesswork, to use to decide what you want to do.

- escapologybb 12y agoExcellent, thanks for the link. I'll go off and get some numbers now.
