I’m about to license a copy of EE for a Fortune 100 company with which I’m consulting on implementation of an executive blog. The first blog out of the gate will be restricted to employees. I’ll import employee information to the member area. Initially, I was told there would be 2,000 employees, representing the field staff. Today that was revised to include ALL employees—20,000 of ‘em. Is there any kind of numerical limit on the number of members a blog can have?

Thanks…

ExpressionEngine has no built in limit for how many members a site, member group, or blog can have.  The pMachine.com site currently has more members than that assigned to various weblogs and forums without any problems.  MySQL has a default size limit of 4 GB on database tables, but I think you would have to get into the millions (perhaps billions) of members for that.

I was just about to ask: “Can EE handle a million+ members?”.

Paul, does your reply answer my question?

If you have a good setup (you will need load balancers at that point), it should be able to handle that many members.
