NYCPHP Meetup

[Donna Marie Vincent]

What I'm wondering is, can you run a community website on a shared hosting account, with a forum, PM system with email notifications, the usual admin notifications (acct signup, lost password, etc.) contact forms, etc.  

Even if you only have a few hundred members, all these various email notifications can add up.

Also, I can see that I need to write all form submissions to the db in case the email notifications don't get through.

1 email per 6 seconds?  Ok, that just seems excessive.

So for 100 emails messages they want you to take an hour to send them 
all out?
