Is there any formulas to judge the capacity of how many websites can fit on a dedicated linux server?
|
As many as the server can serve without crawling to his knees.

What about MySQL records, what is considered the maximum number of records one would want in a database?
|
Something between 1 and 16 billions. Depends on the queries, the quantity of requests and how the db is used by the installed applications.
Seriously, there is no absolute value. It all depends of the server itself (cpu, ram, hdd, bandwith available [ both up and down]) and the quality of the applications that are installed on it.
Even be strongest server can be brought to his knees if a idiot wrote bad database queries.
But there is nothing to test them other than running them and see what happens when you use a load generator.

I personally used apache's jmeter to test my server
