You can easily serve 5K users on a single server.  You just need to
get good hardware.  In other words, costs start at $5000 and go up.

Ian - not sure if it is appropriate to ask but because one day I will need to think about a server with solid hardware, what would you advise me to look at? I mean look company-wise? Or simply select from a list of a server-type machines that costs more than 5K?

Thanks!
