How much resource will I need
I host an IRC currently with 4-5k average connections but by populate vote we're moving to a new socket.io based solution so we can get more users, etc. and so how much resource would I require for 4-5k active connections on a socket.io server? The server only handles message relay in real time, nothing more nothing less

buy an e3 sever is enough
Really? That's a lot of connections for one poor E3. Plus, these are constant, not visitors during the day
Honestly I don't know the answer but what I know is that you can setup cluster with child processes in node js.
And use vps so I guess it can boost performance .
Maybe this benchmark can help you.
