This was true for the 24GB system, I'm no longer updating this section, but the example scales as bigger boxes are used. Depending on how resource intensive your Drupal site is, the above base server can handle approximately 50 to 90 concurrent requests, for a Drupal page, per second. With the RAM upgrade it would handle between 140 and 275 concurrent requests per second. Again depending on how robust your site is.
Like our Managed Drupal Hosting this includes quarterly Drupal updates and full server management.
These are individually created, so click Contact above, tell me what you want and your site's current statistics, and we'll get started.
