[HELP] Unable to Scale Website Due to Server Bandwidth Issue

LX911 · Mar 10, 2022

Hi, I have a SEO Tool type website and its average bandwidth / month is around 80-100GB, the issue is I cannot shift to a VPS cause the website isn't earning enough to break even at this stage. I have to use Adsense alternative networks and CPA offers won't work (tried and tested).

My current hosting provider is forcing me to shift to a VPS cause that much bandwidth is unacceptable in a shared hosting plan.

Please advise what can I do with this..

IDK what's your budget but you need to find some vps or cloud servers for cheap.
You can look racknerd they often have some good offers.
Or on LEB but here you need to do your due diligence as it's overcrowded with providers.

Probably check out AWS, I think you can get quite a bit for free before they make you pay - but I've never used any of their services to say for certain.

Do you already use cloudflare? Cloudflare can drastically reduce bw usage and its free.

Switching to AWS or Cloudfare is what you’re looking at the easiest/viable options here.

Given that I’m a programmer/too independent for my own good, I’d do it myself. Check out these guides:

If you have no experience in web development or migrating sites, you might want to hire someone.

Yes I am already using CloudFlare's free plan but since its a tool based website, the cache functionality isn't helping.. I will give this VPS tutorials a try. As of now I have started blocking countries that aren't giving revenue

so that will considerably reduce the bandwidth consumption!

This may be obvious but have you considered switching to a different host?

LX911 · Mar 13, 2022

yeah tried like over 6 hosting companies over past 2 years.. main problem is they themselves don't know how much is unmetered bandwidth, hence you get to know only when you have start crossing a certain mark. For example: something like miles web will shut down the account if bandwidth crosses 20 - 35 GB in a month.

Why not use EZOIC, they are used on quite allot of SEO tools. Maybe it will generate enough revenue to pay decent hosting. Also their built-in CDN saves allot of traffic.

Check out these deals on racknerd:

I think should fit budget for any serious project.
But do talk to their support before ordering.
I have a few clients on racknerd vps and everything is great.
