Have you implemented any of the caching tools for WordPress? I also run WordPress on my blog, which is hosted at Dreamhost (shared hosting), which is about the worst you can have. I've never been hit terribly hard, but I did manage to pick up around 2,000 visitors in the span of about 3 hours one time, which is the most my blog has ever seen. WP with WP SuperCache kept it up, even on a shared host.
I'd be curious to read a post-mortem once you get the site back up.
- grecy 15y agoI had my wordpress blog on shared Dreamhost for about a year.. I was slowly increasing traffic then I noticed the dreamhost daemons killing off my processes.. after much, much hassle I finally got the offical line of "1000 unique visitors per day is using too much memory for Dreamhost shared - you need to upgrade". I moved to rackspace.
- benatkin 15y agoI'm betting on no. Caching with WordPress.org is as easy to set up as Jekyll, if not easier. With W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache, performance is roughly equivalent to a baked site being hosted by the same web server. Edit: Oops, I lost, as he already said in another thread that he had WP Super Cache turned on. But it seems to me that 512MB would be enough if the web server was set up properly, and in fact caching was set up so the web server would serve pages directly.
