  You can just hit reply below his post to nest the comments. No need to twitter style shout outs. What kind of hosting do you have now? Is it a VPS or plain hosted webhosting? If it is a vps I would say to go with linode for the money it looks like they overprovision there plans at hostican but I am just guessing. the front page of digg will send a lot of traffic so even then you should be employing caching of dynamic pages, offloading large media to CDN's or amazon S3, or offering a static page stripped down when you are on the front page depending on how much traffic. If you are experiencing massive traffic in bursts you can do the amazon dynamic provisioning of servers to meet the spikes in traffic.

  http://prgmr.com/xen/ http://prgmr.com/xen/ has some very good deals on vpses, but they seem to be sold out right now. When they get back, you can get a VPS with 1GB of RAM for 20 usd/month, put whatever you use for your blog software behind ngix and then put a small mencached server or Varnish server to keep the most recently used stuff in RAM. Do that, and your service can take ./, digg, HN and reddit at the same time. Or head over to nearlyfreespeech.net and let them host your page - their servers aren't the fastests in the world, but it is pay as you go.

  for $20 you can get a whole VPS at linode and host it yourself with a classic LAMP stack.

  just don't buy anything that says unlimited bandwidth or disk space.
