I've been on the front page of HN a couple times, it's not really all that much traffic. Ten thousand pageloads, at most. If your blog can't handle tens of simultaneous connections, you've got problems.
- liquidise 10y agoI have the same experience. 10k+ views, maxing out at 100-ish simultaneous. To me a failure to keep the site up is less about the server and more a commentary on the platform the server is running. A single $20/mo box can support a remarkable amount of traffic if you are running lightweight blogging platforms like Ghost.
- eropple 10y agoA single $20/mo box can handle thousands of concurrent hits to a Wordpress site when that site is properly configured. This is user error.
