AW: [opencms-dev] Finding a OpenCms suitable web host?

In general, if your project is not only "3 men - 50 pages" level 
but bigger one, let say <20 users, hundreds of pages, 
you should be able to manage it with 512 MB. 
So surely use dedicated server.

For bigger projects, especially if you will develop some functionality and
not just let people use standard OpenCms editor features, I would recommend
you more memory, 1-2 GB.

But definitely 128MB is not enough for production-level projects.

Best regards
Petr

Ask if you will be allowed to restart your servlet container any time.

JSDK 1.4.x
Beware of Tomcat'S (>= 4.1.29) xercesImp.jar and OpenCms <= 5.0.1

# du -h /var/lib/mysql/opencms/
938M    /var/lib/mysql/opencms

ls -hl /var/lib/mysql/opencms/CMS_BACKUP_FILES.*
8.4k Sep 12 15:50 /var/lib/mysql/opencms/CMS_BACKUP_FILES.frm
545M Feb 19 15:40 /var/lib/mysql/opencms/CMS_BACKUP_FILES.MYD
210k Feb 19 15:40 /var/lib/mysql/opencms/CMS_BACKUP_FILES.MYI

So I could reduce the database size.


And about 6000 static exported files on the disk.

Hard to say. My OpenCms installations never had more than about 15 - 20
users. Maybe try this for yourself.
