Frequently Asked Questions

What is a LAMP/LEMP stack?

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. LEMP is similar, but uses Nginx (pronounced "Engine-X") instead of Apache. These are popular web service stacks used for developing and deploying web applications.

How accurate are the resource estimates?

The estimates provided are based on general usage patterns and may vary depending on your specific configuration and workload. They should be used as a starting point for your resource planning.

Can I use this calculator for cloud hosting planning?

Yes, this calculator can be useful for estimating resource needs when planning cloud hosting. However, always consult with your cloud provider for more precise recommendations based on their specific offerings.

What do the recommended configurations represent?

The recommended configurations (Basic WordPress, E-commerce Site, High Traffic Blog) are preset scenarios to give you a quick starting point based on common use cases. You can further customize these based on your specific needs.

How do I determine the number of concurrent users for my site?

Concurrent users represent the number of active users on your site at any given time. You can estimate this using analytics tools or by taking about 10% of your daily active users as a rough guideline.

Why might I choose Nginx over Apache, or vice versa?

Nginx is often chosen for its high performance with static content and as a reverse proxy, while Apache is known for its flexibility and wide range of modules. The choice depends on your specific needs and familiarity with each server.
