CodeIgniter - resource intensive?

[quote author="Greg Aker" date="1284672250"]I've seen some similar things with servers being run with control panels. IN HA production settings, you generally see Mail, DBs, etc on their own dedicated systems. all of those things are just draining from resources apache can use. Honestly, you're probably the point you need a clustered system in place. There is much more to optimizing a system than having apache optimized. what about MySQL configurations? If you're just using stock settings, you're definitely not getting what you should out of the system.

If you want managed, load balanced hosting, I encourage you to speak our (EllisLabs) sister company, EngineHosting about a load balanced VPS setup. email them at: [email protected]

You can also look elsewhere for similar or better performance for less cost. EngineHosting is nuts on pricing. $300 for the basic VPS is crazy, the specs are very very low for $300 a month. Checkout GoGrid, PowerVPS, VPS.net, there are many.
