Start simple. One web server one db. Scale as needed, don't get stuck into trying to code for multiple servers when it's not needed.

Websites like facebook,twitter,reddit, are built like that, how could I learn that ? Please do your best effort to help me out, I have a cool idea that I want to develop, Thank you !!! " Building a large web application - a website that has multiple servers and doesn't rely one one server only" Usually from my understanding there are 2 different types of scaling. One to scale the structure, which still relies on all structures to operate and one mirroring the DNS for the same exact website. You can google "how to scale websites" to see how people are doing it, note that scaling a website out has nothing to do with the language (the same way you scale php/mysql you can scale asp/sql), you just need to study and figure out which parts of your system needs to be separated/scaled out (mysql, memcached, files, etc..). Here is a good thread I found with the above search term: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/1280/what-should-i-do-to-scale-out-a-high-traffic-website Hope it help! I, like you didn't know much about scaling until I actually got hands on experience in my current employment. Never really had a personal project that was so successful that I needed to scale out. Also if you can always reply-all to the group instead of just reply, it would be great. Thanks,
