Hello Folks,<p>Hopefully someone can help me out here. I've been reading HN for a while and never really submitted anything or asked any questions but I seem to be in need of some advice.<p>I'm a volunteer webmaster for a small non-profit. I've setup the website with Drupal on a small Linode instance. We really have a very small amount of traffic ( 80 - 150 visits per day ) to the website. Some people come through looking at who we are, our history, and specifically, people use it to register for events and classes.<p>We've been looking to boost attendance to our classes and have ended up somehow being featured on a popular local deals website ( groupon, living social, tippr, etc. ) I'd be less cryptic but since I wasn't involved in the deal making process I really have absolutely no idea how much I'm allowed to say about the upcoming deal.<p>I'm a professional rails developer and a Drupal novice. I chose Drupal because other board members wanted to edit content and I didn't want to build out a CMS. In hindsight, I really should have gone with Rails. There's something to be said for just doing what you know rather than going with something that is "better" for the job - especially when you don't have a whole lot of time to devote to learning a new technology.<p>My questions are these:<p>1) I have no idea how much traffic people generally get from deals like these. Can someone enlighten me?<p>2) Do any of you php/drupal folks know what I can reliably run off of a small Linode with the increase in site traffic because of this featured deal.<p>3) I'm considering replacing the entire website with rails site with essentially 3 pages: An about page, A class description / what to expect page, and a registration page. This would be a super focused site and I'm wondering how much success people have had ( especially with respect to local/social deals ) with a 3 page setup like this.
