Hi folks,

I have a couple of Drupal powered sites, and i plan to add a few more in coming months. I am presently having problems with my hosting company, as he says my sites are creating problems for him and am planning to take a dedicated server.

Here is the configuration i am planning to buy: P4, 2.8GHZ, 1GB RAM. Will this suffice my purpose? or do i need to take a better server than this.

Your suggestions are much valued and needed. Please let me know your ideas.

Thanks in advance

What problems are those exactly? Do you know?

This guy tells me that the two Drupal sites are always using 95% of the CPU.

The reasons can be misconfiguration on your host, very use of cron jobs, caching disabled and so on.

I don't know about your sites (hits, configurations, etc), but a basic reference to you speak with your hosting is:
