Well, it certainly depends on the server, of course -- you obviously get what you pay for. The memory consumption for a single mod_python Apache child on the servers I admin seems to average around 2M of non-shared RAM. You'll need a lot of those processes, of course, so I wouldn't expect to be able to run 100+ sites on a Dreamhost account... but that really all depends on the amount of traffic you'd get. Just for a few points of comparison: * My personal server just got Dugg and handled it without hiccupping. The box cost me around $3k, has 8GB of RAM and dual Opteron processors; load peaked around 0.7. * Our "misc" machine at work serves about 20 small sites. It's a commodity Dell with 2 Xeons and 2GB of RAM. Load rarely gets over 0.1.
