anyone have any experience on high traffic websites? on my I have more than 20000 unique visitors/day and almost 10.000.000hits/day .... I am considering to get rid of joomla because of it’s size and sluggish performane and too big load on server and database ...  and i am considering EE ... but I need good advice, not to port whole site to EE and then find out I cannot do half things as i can in Joomla ... because Joomla is pretty simple and modifications are also simple ... for example, in EE i should change admin side and add few fields in it ...

This sounds pretty interesting. May I ask what kind of a server are you using and what kind of content are you serving (blog, forums, etc.)?

portal about cars ... 2 journalists writing more than 25 news per day ...
currently on shared, because had problems with former ISP and their servers so we lost everything, now on other hosting company, they are making us new dedicated that will be finished tommorow probably,

Dual Opteron 2212
2 GB RAM ECC Registered
4 x 500 GB HDD SATA RAID

Content=news portal ....

and by that you mean XHTML and CSS validation? and simple design? or ... is there a cats in designing templates for EE?
I know that there are examples ... there are wxamples of such sites that were made from scratch also ... I am asking how hard is to achieve that with EE ... my server load is ok ...but I want users to have enchanched experience ... they must me satisfied ... and currently they are extremly dissatisfied ... joomla has problems with coded banners ... and multiple other things ....

not cats, catch ...

^^ And even then, you can cache that template anyway… but again depending on the content you are serving (i.e., must it be ‘fresh’ every page load?) I would suggest you contact one of the many EE professionals or someone with experience from the forums here for some assistance, even if it’s only on a consultancy basis.

If you have a new server with your current host being built at this time, it sounds like you aren’t in a massive hurry to get things ported. In the meantime why not download the core version and have a tinker?

Before I am going to loose time learning new CSM I wanted to do a little research ... and to ask community ...
