Hi Moodlers,

I want to improve my site performance as 300 users surf my site at a time, it will slow down.
I review number of solution but most effective solution i found is load balancing.

I have two cpanel account one from justhost.com and one from dreamhost.com, can you suggest how can i use both this account to fulfill the requirements.

If i upgrade my account to dedicated hosting server, i have to move all data, configuration and security etc... to that server

Can you please help me ................

300 "average" concurrent users should be handled by a proper hardware with correctly tuned software. However, it depends on what they are doing but if users are mostly surfing, there should not be need for a load balancing solution. A dedicated server should suffice.

As already said, 300 users "browsing" isn't a big deal. (If 300 takes an online exam using the Quiz module at the very same minute, that is a different matter.)

For some reason your installation (hosting solution, plattform, network, ...) seems to be weak.
Go through the docs, http://docs.moodle.org/en/Performance and http://docs.moodle.org/en/Performance_FAQ, first.

In case you decide on a cluster check this http://docs.moodle.org/en/Performance#Scalability specially the links given there under "see also".
