vBSEO on a Development Server, Branding, Large boards?

Hi,

I'm new to the vBSEO product so here's a couple questions before I buy:

1. I have a development and live server and want to test it out on the development server before pushing it live. The development server is only accessible to internal staff. The URL's for the servers are different, is this going to be an issue with the license?

2. To confirm, currently there is no branding free option, correct?

3. What's the largest bulletin board that has vBSEO running? What's the performance hit we can expect by using vBSEO?

Thanks!

1. Not a problem. We can set up a test license for your test server.

2. Not at this time, but there will be at some point.

3. I'm not sure about the largest, but here are a couple of large ones. Someone else may be able to chime in with some larger ones.

Cadillac forums, cars, trucks, v-series, performance, STS, CTS, DTS, XLR, SRX, CTS-V, STS-V, XLR-V, Escalade, DeVille, Seville, Eldorado, Fleetwood, sedan, coupe, repairs, technical information, auto

Hello Derek and welcome to vBSEO

Re: Largest forum
I believe that there are a couple with close to (or over) 10 million posts and over 100K members. The real challenge is the # of concurrent users for which I believe the highest currently is somewhere around 8K.

PM me if you want names as I haven't been given permission to disclose this info publicly.

Edit: We should really start tracking some stats about our biggest forums, just found one with over 200K members

Any idea in terms of the performance hit for board over 1 million posts?

That would depend on your pre-vBSEO server load. More info sent via PM.
