and my Broadband Speed is 10-20 Mbps Conection.

Software :

Centos 5.5 x86_64
Apache 2.2 , Mysql 5.x and ISPConfig3 , Pure-ftp, postfix etc..

This is completely dedicated for webserver and i'ld like to tune Apache and Mysql to Handle more than 200k Pageviews per day.

And i'ld like to run wordpress powered website.

Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/configuring_apache_for_maximum_performance

Also make sure that you install a PHP opcode cacher (eAccelerator, Xcache, or APC).

To optimize MySQL, take a look here:

Hi Falko,

Thanks for your information and i've a small concern. How much Memory can we allocate to PHP Scripts (example i've total 16GB RAM and can i allocate 4GB RAM for PHP scripts and 2GB RAM for Mysql-server)?

If we can do this can u please guide me how to?

And is there any 1-click php scripts installer for ISPConfig3?

 

AFAIK, there's no limit. You can set the PHP memory in your php.ini (I think it's /etc/php.ini on CentOS). Restart Apache afterwards.

Unfortunately no.
