> I only pay $1 per month for my VPS, and even that piece of trash can handle 1000s of requests per second.

Depends on the computational cost per request. If you're serving static content from memory, 10k/s sounds easy. If you constantly have to calculate diffs across ranges of commits, I imagine a couple dozen can bring your box down.

Also: who's your webhost? $1/m sounds like a steal.



You can sometimes find special (loss-leader) deals in this range on LowEndTalk. Typically you'll have to pay upfront for a block of one or two years.
