What site? You were talking about MySQL. You do know that SQL servers and Web Servers are very different animals and are doing very different jobs, don't you?

>ain't gonna get ONE hit, will it?! :) So - how do BIG-ass sites like E-comm sites or whatever, run, then?

As for Web Servers: they use e.g. server farms, load balancing, and a whole slew of other techniques. None of them have anything to do with (My)SQL.

No idea what that sentence is supposed to mean.
