I am in the final stages of pre-testing my vBulletin and the application that will be working with it. Here is my question:
I am considering hosting my scripts on a separate server than where my database is. It seems, in my tests, that the performance is horrible for vBulletin when it has to access the database from a remote server. Is this normal and is there a way to make it faster? I am assuming that the problem is that the data has to be retrieved across one connection (serverA to serverB) and then sent to the user. It seems like this wouldn't be an easy problem to overcome and perhaps I should be considering an alternate plan that involves hosting the software on the same server as the database. Does anyone have any insight into the performance issues of using a separate server for hosting the actual database? Any ideas and or experience on the subject is appreciated.
