For those of you who think you need a "good server" to be on the front page of hacker news, you're wrong. My blog hit #2 on HN and landed on the front page a few times in the last six months. I have a Rackspace 256mb ram slice hosting Wordpress. No caching at all, none. I also run, on the same server, a teamspeak server for a friend that still plays games. I peaked at 290 simultaneous people reading my post. Teamspeak server was still working fine.
