What Internet speed is needed for a highly visited site on your server?

Question

Server equipment

We want to put our server in the office. The server will host a highly visited site, such as www.zarplata.ru. The site will gain momentum in attendance, and within 2-3 months it will come to attendance, like a large project.
The provider offers up to 60 Mbps. Before talking with him about specific numbers, I want to understand what Internet speed is needed for a server with a similar site. Specifically:
1. Minimum upload speed
2. Comfortable upload speed
3. Minimum receive speed
3. Comfortable receive speed
I would be very grateful for your help.

Answer 1

As a matter of fact, with 60Mbps from the provider, you can give 7 visitors a 1MB page per second, the
8th visitor will queue up and receive the page in the next second (this is very generalized and conditional, in order to roughly evaluate the channel).

Answer 2

I would recommend that you install the server on a colocation somewhere in the data center. So it will be more reliable and cheaper.

Answer 3

To assess the speed of the channel, first of all, you need to know:
1) The approximate number of visitors. Both average and peak value.
2) Average size of given pages
3) Average and peak number of page requests.
Well, of course, everything depends on the optimization and thoughtfulness of the site engine. Some, such as VK galleries, are able to load probable images and pages into the client's cache in advance, so that by the time of the transition at least a part has already been loaded.
And by the way, for a large project, one channel / provider is not enough, there should always be the possibility of redundancy. Well, there already on the router you can set up a heap and balancing / routing.

Answer 4

The button next to "invite an expert" - "summon a psychic" is really missing.
1) What is the average page weight?
2) What is the peak attendance per hour?
3) Is the channel from the provider symmetrical?
4) How is the issue with ddos ​​solved?
5) How is the issue with the lack of light (and, accordingly, the nodes lying between you and the provider) solved?
6) Is there a spare channel (ideally from another provider)?
this is offhand what came from the most obvious, from memory from an attempt to host blogs at home.

Answer 5

On my home server, at the peak of 100 Mbps, apache2 has so far held ~ 3000 per day.
And according to the statistics, there are about 40,000 on the indicated one, so it depends on the setting most of all.

Answer 6

Well, for a highly visited one, this is ten gigabit

Answer 7

Attendance of what, here are three fundamentally different loads:
Rummage through the pages?
Download video?
Is the whole site in AJAX?
And what's the problem with measuring the speed on the current hosting?
I assume the site already exists? Attendance is not taken out of thin air, is it?
The load is also easily removed - static content is placed on Cloud Storage outside the site engine. And that's all. Big traffic savings.
