Do you really need an entire server for this site? I built a small, forum-like website using a LAPP stack which serves 7500 pageviews/day on a small VPS (384MB of RAM, $5/month). Are MS SQL Server and Coldfusion much more resource-intensive than Postgresql and PHP?

Can you can fit the entire forum within the confines of the 10GB database limit of the free SQL Server Express edition?

I find that to be a shocking amount of hardware for this forum! At an average of 20KB per message (message content + list of replies), you would only need a cache of 20MB to store 1024 messages.
