PHP + MySQL	Result
Time taken for tests	232.94 seconds
Time per request	2239 ms
Complete requests	100
Failed requests	0
Comments:
(1 concurrent request repeated 100 times/the test is performed until 100 successfully completed requests have been made. To gather the total number of sent requests you need to collect the completed and the failed requests/) Pretty good result. 223.94 seconds fall in the category “FAST”! Pretty good. There wasn’t a failed request at all – it guarantees that the users won’t see error messages as a result of a server overload. LunarPages have very good fast servers, suitable for sites that use MySQL.

PHP + MySQL stress	Result
Time taken for tests	48.54 seconds
Time per request	1213 ms
Complete requests	40
Failed requests	0
Comments:
(5 concurrent requests repeated 8 times/the test is performed until 40 successfully completed requests have been made. To gather the total number of sent requests you need to collect the completed and the failed requests/) 0% failed requests and only 48 seconds. Apparently they have extra resources.

PHP only	Result
Time taken for tests	228.29 seconds
Time per request	456 ms
Complete requests	500
Failed requests	0
Comments:
(5 concurrent requests repeated 100 times/the test is performed until 500 successfully completed requests have been made. To gather the total number of sent requests you need to collect the completed and the failed requests/) 0% failed requests.

PHP stress	Result
Time taken for tests	93.80 seconds
Time per request	465 ms
Complete requests	200
Failed requests	0
Comments:
(10 concurrent requests repeated 20 times/the test is performed until 200 successfully completed requests have been made. To gather the total number of sent requests you need to collect the completed and the failed requests/) 0% failed requests – the same result as with the MySQL stress test. Obviously they have enough available resources.

BIG PHP stress	Result
Time taken for tests	97.57 seconds
Time per request	487 ms
Complete requests	200
Failed requests	40
Comments:
(20 concurrent requests repeated 10 times /the test is performed until 200 successfully completed requests have been made. To gather the total number of sent requests you need to collect the completed and the failed requests/) 16.6% failed requests. It’s definitely not bad. This test is a pretty heavy one and increases the server load with 5-6 times.
