You have no dynamic content and your website crash at 200~ concurrent users?

You're doing everything wrong then. I had a website going through 6000 concurrent users sometimes and which was hosted on a very cheap mutualised server! I didn't realize so many people had no idea about simple caching techniques.

The issue is a static site shouldn't even need to use caching techniques.

When I'm building an app I will use memcached with redis. But this post was just about getting a host environment/workflow for situations in which you want the ease of development that server side languages provide (shared code includes, etc.) and not have to deal with things like caching.

I guess that's what happens when people learn a lot of technologies in school and don't really know when to use them.
