Help How many concurrent users can handle 1 GB of RAM?

[AllenTar]

Hi,

How many users can handle a website at a time on a 1 GB of RAM hosting package?

It is a new website, and it will get a few visitors in the beginning., but with some advertising, if multiple users get stuck in the rare case, it won't be good; hence, asking.

Any answers will be thankfully welcome.

Estimating the number of concurrent users a server with 1 GB of RAM can handle depends on various factors, including the type of website or application, the complexity of its code and database queries, the efficiency of caching mechanisms, and the average resource consumption per user session. As a rough estimate, a server with 1 GB of RAM can typically support a small to medium-sized website or application with a limited number of concurrent users. However, the exact number of concurrent users that can be handled effectively may vary widely based on the factors mentioned above. In general, it's essential to monitor server performance metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, and response times under typical and peak load conditions.
Additionally, optimizing the website or application code, implementing efficient caching strategies, and scaling resources (such as upgrading RAM or adding more servers) as needed can help improve performance and accommodate a larger number of concurrent users.

it's a basic web hosting package & with one GB RAM, it is low. If you have a poorly optimized site, it might barely serve A SINGLE client. If you have a well-optimized site, it will still hold a few dozen, maybe hundreds.
