    Depends on a lot of factors including the make up of those 1,000 users, what they're doing, and how your web stack (i.e. Centmin Mod) is configured for such loads. All will vary and depend such. Unfortunately, Centmin Mod is provided as is, so I personally do not provide free optimisation advice.

    Other forum members however are free to chime in :)

    I'm sure it can handle that visitors :)
    Did you count all visitors? or just login member excluding guest?
    I have mine just an E3 CPU: Server E3-SSD-3 - So you Start
    Handles 4K to 6K per seconds as of Google Analytics, but mostly 90% are Guest and Guest view are cached.

    What Hosting is this by the way?
    OVH?

    Hi :)

    Yes it is OVH and yes i count also guests.....

    What server load do you get when you have the pick time RoldanLT ?

    The only thing that i was thinking is the Soft Raid 5 if i will be ok with it ....?

    As now is using Raid 10 hardware ....but i don't think that this will be the problem....

    Also do you use MariaDB 10 and Innodb?

    The database is 31GB now on percona Innodb...

    Nah even me don't have Raid setup hehe.
    It's 6PM here so traffic is above normal, and here's the load:
    upload_2014-11-12_18-43-40.png

    it's pretty low because all guest view is cached for 10 minutes.

    How you archive that?

    Do i have to do anything after Centminmod installation to enable it?

    This load is not possible for 5k connections per second and maybe we talk for something else when we say connections :)

    Can you please run this command so we can compare?

    netstat -n | grep :80 |wc -l

    yes you will have to :D
    Enable fastcgi_cache.
    By the way, the site that have those thousand of request is WP site so same cache by Wp Super cache addon and all guest are server by Nginx only.
    And other site is XenForo forum, and all guest view is server by fastcgi_cache.

    Why this is not enable by default on Centminmod?

    fastcgi_cache like nginx and varnish cache is web app specific configured. There's no one config that fits all for fastcgi_cache. So to properly enable fastcgi_cache you need to do it yourself and configure it with the full understanding of how your web app behaves and functions i.e. xenforo, invision, vbulletin etc.

    Maybe but just a little.
    Because it's complicated to setup.
    And config differs on your PHP web app.

    Google for fastcgi_cache it's caching dynamic PHP requests only so you need to understand your web app and how it works to make sure you only cache PHP requests for guests and need to distinguish between logged in and logged out users via cookies etc. Basically, same thing as Varnish Cache except Varnish Cache can cache both static files and PHP requests while fastcgi_cache is only for PHP requests itself.

    Is there any tool to benchmark connections/queries of virtual visitors to our website in the server?

    As i know there is a sample for this (fastcgi_cache) for Xenforo and Wordpres but not for IPB and RoldanLT is helping me to configure it :)

    Let's hope that he will find how to do it as ipb is using the same cookie for guests and registered members :(

    If anyone else has already done that please post here for any tips :)

    Thanks
