Ditch Wordpress. Did your site make it to the front page? My website made it to #2 on HN front page yesterday : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3521309 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3521309 I logged about 7k visits with ~200 peak concurrent visits. I wouldn't say that's server-stalling level traffic but the thing is my site is hosted on GitHub Pages so it's entirely static. I don't mean to troll, I think there's a Wordpress plugin called supercache or something (google wordpress caching) . But I do want to officially advocate that you rethink whether or not you _really_ need a mysql database, x plugins, and PHP to run a blog
