General – Hardware and Monitoring
1. Host your website with a company known for performance. Check newsgroups and web host listing sites such as TopHosts (http://www.tophosts.com) for companies known for high performance. In a shared server environment (not dedicated hosting), find out how many other websites are on the same server as yours. Some web hosts will put up to 1 thousand sites on one server.
2. When hosting your own website, install as much physical RAM as possible on the web server. As memory gets cheaper and cheaper by the minute it is one of the most cost effective purchases an IT department can make.
3. When hosting your own website, use quality hardware – don't try and save money when purchasing the hardware that will run one of your most valuable assets.
4. When hosting your own website, consider purchasing quality NIC cards which can offload and reduce CPU usage for networking.
5. Monitor your web pages for performance to make more informed decisions. End-to-end testing of your website, e.g. testing of multiple web pages on your website, is essential to understanding weak points and places for improvement.
