My forums aren't that busy nowadays, I'll be lucky if they peak at close to 200-300 users during some busy period and probably just a dozen or so at less busy times. I had 5,410 online a few months back but this must have been bots/guests and not likely to repeat itself once I get my hands around adding something like Cloudflare.
Could the following dedicated server specs easily handle the forums? What it we went from 200 to 1,000 simultaneous users?
Specs:
32GB DDR4 RAM
2TB SSD
Xeon® E-2134
4 Core / 8 Thread
