Exactly. It isn't how many visitors/day you can handle that really matter, it's the peak user concurrency load you can handle for a given server/ram spec'd sizeYou can handle many millions of visitors a day on such servers. Depends though on the app/middleware layer and caching.
86400 seconds in a day.
1 million users divided evenly is 11-12 new user requests every second.
10,000 users spread out evenly over 24hrs = 0.12 users/second
vs
10,000 concurrent users at same time
Doubt the latter scenario would survive on a 256MB Nginx server
But nice to know what powers vpsboards
