Hi
Im planning to change the servers to upgrade the performance, actually im
working with a dedicated server for web services.
The actual configuration is the folllowing:
Pentium 4
1 GB RAM
200 GB HDDisk (Mirror)

A usuall statistic of every month is of:
9.300.000 hits
1.600.000 page views
146.000 visitor sessions
67.000 unique visitors

What i want to reduce is the following:
total hits: 9.3000.000
failed hits: 300.000

What hardware configuration do you recommend?

Thank you so much

If I understand you message correctly, you want to upgrade your hardware to
reduce the 300,000 failed hits? If this is correct, then you do not need a
hardware upgrade, you simply need to understand failed hits.

Failed hits usually means that client computers asked for a page that does not
exist. For example, if a web spider like Google checks out your site it will
first ask for a file called robots.txt. If you do not have that file then it
will show up as a failed hit. If you rename or delete files and do not set up
redirects you will get failed hits. Automated cracking tools ask for many
default files that have known security flaws, and if you do not have those files
installed they will show up as failed hits.

What do you mean by failed hits? Hardware won't necessarily help ...
