| TABLE 25 - WEB-SITE CAPACITY |
|
|
Demand on your web-site will vary considerably from hour to hour across the day. If you are not able to givequick and efficient service to visitors at peak times, your marketing image can decline quite sharply. However, it is difficult to assess the capacity of your web-site which depends on the number of ports linking you to your ISP. The following table gives a guide to the link between ports and service. |
