You’re mental and don’t know what you’re going on about! M$SQL scalable? Humbug I say.

I see. Well, 2 chips with quad cores and 8GB of ram is a pretty hefty machine. Marcus seems pretty clear this is his one and only Web server machine…from the comments, he has some kind of second machine serving the database.

Personally, I’m in the MySQL and PHP camp. More PHP than anything else. You cite a learning curve…I’d simply say using PHP to do something is a breeze. Using it well (perhaps with a framework), does take a little wisdom.

I thought someone might ask this question. I got it right here from Marcus the founder of plentyoffish.

Thanks for the comments Carlos

Good luck with your choice, sounds like it will work out well for you. But PlentyOfFish runs just 1 server? That’s hard to believe. Can you cite a source? I’m really curious.
