How Many Visitors Do You Get from the Hacker News Front Page?
- herbst 9y ago1 Website on a $5 VPS may be stupid, but 5 websites on a 15$ VPS most likely work great. Let me explain: $5 VPSes are rarely ment for production, they just have enough resources to have "something" running. A $15 VPS usually is big enough to hold X websites, plus has enough backup power should one of the sites explode. Now use Cloudflare as DNS and ship your static CSS & JS files over a CDN. And done, your website is kind of bullet proof. Source: I've ranked #2 and #1 on HN, and Frontpaged on Reddit a few times as well. Never did any site of mine go down even thought i host on a budget.
- herbst 9y agoBtw claiming that you outperformed Google with the search phrase "google" and then not putting any kind of proof makes you kind of unbelieveable.
- dang 9y agoPlease don't put "Show HN" on blog posts. Everything would be a "Show HN" if we allowed that. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
