Wow, haha...no. Especially not with a static site. Even for a wordpress site, a $5 VPS can easily handle in the tens of millions of hits per day, and if that's not enough just add a CDN in front.
- sneak 5y agoIf they’re evenly distributed throughout the day, you have a gigabit port, and aren’t cpu throttled because shared hardware. A $5 VPS can handle less than a thousand or two connections per second, generally, and will fall over (even serving a static site) if linked simultaneously from a big subreddit and the HN front page during PST business hours. Using Netlify or a service like it saves you having to administer and keep running an httpd, and “just add[s] a cdn in front”. It’s also free, and not $5.
