For all the flak HN gets about fnid problems, etc, it's still awe-inspiring to me that such a popular site runs on a single server, with so little admintime ;)

Just how popular is HN?

Anyone got info on uniques or pageviews a month?

We currently get just over 200k uniques and just under 2m page views on weekdays (less on weekends).

Does a single server support this level of traffic? That is pretty impressive - it would be great to learn about the server's hardware and software configuration.

Wow, nice, that was exactly the HW I was predicting; the fastest single-core-performance xeon under turboboost.
