Hello,

I am an experienced VB6 programmer and I'm just starting to learn ASP.

I'm after some general advice for a new project that i will be starting in the next few weeks.

I have a retail web site, it is a static site (built offline from a database) with a php basket. I'm looking at converting it to a dynamic site, probably using ASP as I'm familiar with VB.

The current site gets 20,000 to 30,000 page views most days and on very busy days over 100,000, as its a static site the sever load is not huge and it all runs nicely on a single server.

My Question:
Do you think I will need more than 1 server to cope with busy times?
Will adding extra servers be easy/quick?
And are there implications for my code and multiple servers? do I need to be thinking about it now?

I know this is a how long is a piece of string question.

I guess it's prefer that to distribute into mutltiple servers, but depends if more complex will be.

cheers!
