Drupal on server farm, Performance in General

Hello Forum,

I'm currently evaluating drupal and planning to use it on a (hopefully) large scale community driven web page. With large scale I mean around 75.000.000 Page Views / month. Although there seem to be some large scale sites (this one for example), I find it hard to estimate the performance one gets when reaching as much traffic as i am planning to do. One module (the core module) will be developed from scratch, the other stuff (comments, votes, ratings, personal pages, etc.) probably based on existing modules.

My two questions:

Duping Dell's IdeaStorm.com

I would like to reproduce Dell's http://ideastorm.com using drupal for our IT customer service center. Is this possible? What modules would I need? Would like to include multiple pictures in post too.

Thanks!!!

Fast shared hosting?

Hey,
Can anyone recommend some shared hosting that is also fast? I'm not talking about bandwidth, but whatever aspects are involved in the course of processing AJAX calls. Not only is Drupal a demanding CMS, but my project will particularly require many AJAX calls.
It seems that nowadays, shared hosting companies are cheap and offer literally hundreds of gigabytes of hosting. But I have no way to tell how fast they are.

UNIQUE in term_data causes problems

Hi all,

I recently installed Drupal 6 RC1 to create a story website.
I love the changes that are made. Great thinking :)

However, when I started entering the terms, I stumpled upon a problem in the term_data table. There is a UNIQUE index on vid/name.
I tried to enter a structure as follows:
