It all depends on the content of the site, is it dynamic or static? Any additional PHP scripts? You should be able to run "ab" which is an Apache benchmark. It'll allow you to see how much requests per second Apache can handle. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/ab.html
Then it could vary by how many people upload videos and how much processing the CPU needs to do, along with the amount of people trying to view videos, all at once. In this case, "ab" won't help very much considering its not factoring in the video conversion (to Flash most likely) process, but you can get a general idea of how many visitors at once viewing videos you can handle.
well can u give a rough estimate if possible ? P.S : I am thinking of leaving my web hosting provider .. You're hosting site seems nice .. Maybe if u get some dedicated servers I'll sign up with you guys m8 .
Based on my experience, tube site as well (fotoblow.com NSFW), having 2k-3k unique visitors daily, my bandwidth usage is around 1500GB monthly... now, most of my content is not hosted but embedded, so if you're thinking on hosting your own content bandwidth levels should be higher... then again, I don't have to worry about my BW since it's unlimited on my dedicated, no capping at all
hmmm, you must know how many users visit your site on the same time, dual quad cores + 4gb ddr3 would be better, also i7 is good.
Any typical php/mysql soft can handle 50 request per seconds in average. 50*3600sec in hour*24= more then 4 million request a day. Good luck!
