Yes, we have ~500,000 visitors per day, and the site is based around a very popular game that is very data intensive (users creating, browsing and loading levels and replays). 2. Yes 3. I agree. I'm not clear on the MRTG graphs. The one I posted is the firewall. The loadbalancer shows equal amounts of in/out, and the web servers show same incoming as the firewall, and slightly higher outgoing. It's seems unlikely, but it *may* reflect level saving. I would also think out would be higher than in though. All that said, I think the numbers are correct, especially since they look the same as the MRTG graphs from the old host. I'd at least like to get a quote from another hosting company. Any recs at all? Best, John
