: Can GoDaddy unlimited bandwidth hosting handle 8000 simultaneous users or should I purchase a dedicated server? I developed an online admission software for College Admission. I have a Deluxe shared

I developed an online admission software for College Admission.

I have a Deluxe shared hosting in GoDaddy. As per them, I am getting Unlimited bandwidth for my domains.

The software will be hosted differently for each Colleges in their own domain name.

Suppose 4 College's admission is going on and at the same time about 2000 users/colleges(domain) are filling their forms. That means total 8000 users are active at the same time.

My question is, can my hosting handle this or I have to purchase dedicated server to perform it. And how much bandwidth I need to make active about 6000-8000 users at-a-time ?

For your information, I have tested my software in Google Pagespeed and the rating is 84. So I can tell it is not too slow.

UPDATE

I called GoDaddy Customer support. They cannot assure me about this (in fact, they never assure anything about shared hosting). As per them, my application may become slow due to the RAM I am getting now. That is only 512MB (In Ultimate Hosting plan, the RAM is only 1GB).

I've used GoDaddy's unlimited (and cheap) monthly plans, and a basic Wordpress site with more than about 3 users clicking around at the same time will give overload warnings (GoDaddy will email you if your server is using most of it's resources).

You can always view charts of the load on your server using the apps in your cPanel at GoDaddy. Also, you can do a free load test up to 25 users at LoadImpact.com and watch your GoDaddy shared server likely get totally overloaded and sluggish.

So having 6-8k users is definitely going to be far from any unlimited cheap plan that GoDaddy/HostGator and others may offer you. But the only way to be sure is to use scripting services that simulate load (like mentioned above) and go from there.
