 * Hello,
 * autovalley.co.uk is vehicles advertisement website. We do a lot of marketing.
   very soon in the future we will have hundreds of thousands of cars advertised
   on our website. Is the normal WordPress application with its normal mysql OK 
   to load data from such a big database easily or we need to do some extra steps
   to make it ready for such load.
 * Many thanks,
    Autovall

 * Pretty much the same work as you’d do for any site of that size. Don’t try it
   on shared hosting, allocate memory to SQL and PHP. You’ll want to do some work
   on your httpd.conf, if you’re on Apache, but generally you’re okay with the DB
   size and speed.

 * Do I need to get dedicated server.
 * I have unlimited space and I allocated 10000 MB space to MySql and rest goes 
   to php.
 * Yes I am on Apache, I don’t know what work to do on httpd.conf , can you please
   refer me to any guide

 * It totally depends on how much traffic you’ve got.
