Question

Hello How to decide number of site limit in IIS 7 if given seprate application pool per site for different version? Any one know it? - Kartik

Answer 1

There is no limit on number of sites IIS can host. It all depends on the number of requests handled by your server and the server configurations.

It has less to do with Application pool per site.

Answer 2

There is a lot of factors, how often the sites are recycling, how much RAM the server has, the traffic of the sites.

Answer 3

I have seen hosting companies hosting 1000+ sites on IIS 7 with different application pool and still running smoothly. It all depends on your WEB SERVER Hardware. To host more number of websites, the most important factor is Disk I/O. You need robust Disk Storage system (I/0) - Probably 4 disk or 8 disk array in RAID 10 solution.
