Can FM be used to run a large Website?

[MariaAux]

I am wanting to publish an innovative Games database for teachers, not too complex but eventually well used by many users around the world. I am confused as to how many connections I can have with FM, FM Advanced, FM Server and FM Server Advanced. I see 250 limit for Server and unlimited for Server advanced, but is that local area connections or IWP?

Could Filemaker effectively handle an online web database with a thousand connections, of course with high-grade hardware and optic fibre upload speed?

Thanks so much for the heads up.

See the section entitled "Capacities" on the Filemaker Server Specs page:

Only Server Advanced supports IWP. The specs list 100 IWP connections and unlimited FMPro connections.
