Hello,

I'm working on a site on which i'll start the marketing campaign in two weeks from now, so i have some concerns with my current hosting EasyWP (Namecheap), it seems they are low in performance with a lot of limitations to their users.

For that reason, I'm considering migrating to another web hosting. I want my website to be ready for moderate traffic (+1000 click per day)

For those who are experienced and sure on this matter, i would to know your experts' opinion, i'm considering HostGator Shared hosting will it be enough?

I'd love to know your suggestions on this matter. Thank you in advance for your valuable insights.
 
Depends on what kind of a website you have. 1000 clicks on a page spread across 24 hours can be managed by shared hosting.
1000 clicks together at once might not be best suited for shared hosting or if you have uploaded a video on server or file downloads or things like that.

If you have a site with sliders and lots of graphics, I would suggest going with a VPS anyway to be on a safer side.

Thank you for your response.

There will be no heavy media files (videos, file downloads, sliders), just the basics (text and images).

The reason i said 1000 is because they will be coming mostly from Facebook Ads, so i'm assuming not everybody will click at the same time, and see the Ad at the same time, so there might be some time gap between each visit.

In that case, just to confirm, based from what you said, Shared hosting plans can actually handle 1000 visitors per day ?

Based on personal experience I would say. I would suggest you get a $5 droplet from Digitalocean, it works better. Also, you can get some free credits for two months to try them.
 
Everyday the same question, the same answers... Man, you can't know which hosting will deal with that, just go for a VPS, Web Hosting is SHARED, that will depend what CMS you use, how many plugins you use, if your website have a lot of photos, sidebars, menus, images, contents that make it load slowly.

The best you can do, to prevent that is using a powerful VPS.

I use Namecheap's Stellar Plus Shared Web Hosting Plan and am currently receiving about 10,000 clicks a day so you will need hosting with Unmetered Bandwidth
 
hi, 1-5k visitors/day will not hit the ceiling for most budget hosting offers. Usually the problems are with content or email spam (our experience).

Best wishes,

I think that is good idea to find the company which can offer you shared hosting and option to upgrade to VPS or bigger hosted solution. So you start with shared hosting account and then upgrade your plan as you go.
 
depends on the resources and hosting plan you have. Chances are that is just a shared server that all resources are being used by everyone. If that is the case you may be better off moving to a VPS or Dedicated server. If you are going to be pushing that much traffic you should be able to cover a cost of a dedicated server with no issues.
 
Thank you very much everyone, i really appreciate it. I have a clear idea now how to proceed.
 
1000 clicks shared throughout the day? A shared hosting plan can handle that efficiently.
1000 clicks at once? Then you will need to get a good VPS server to handle that. $5 or $10 PM VPS on Digitalocean or Vultr can handle it i believe.

Hope it helps.
 
No, 1000 click across the day not at once of course.

But it might be possible that there might be a coincidence of dozens of clicks at the same time, then can the shared hosting still perform well enough?

Never heard of this (e.g. droplet).. what is this and how does this help in hosting and on high volume clicks on a domain ?

A VPS is called a droplet on DigitalOcean. A VPS can handle more traffic than shared hosting as only the OP's website will be hosted on it. Also, their cheapest droplet is almost the same price as that of some shared hosting. I suggested to him this because they give you free credits to try out their service.
 
1,000 clicks per day is nothing. It's hard for me to imagine any hosting service not being able to support that.

100,000 clicks per day on shared hosting has never been a problem for me. (And I've run some crazy convoluted things on there)

I'd never get hosting through a domain registrar though, that's just asking for trouble. Go for a company who focuses on hosting.

I've had no problems with HostGator which I've run some sites on, though their support sucks. Being self sufficient and knowing how linux/httpd/htaccess/php/php.ini works helps with that a lot.

"What service can support 1,000 clicks a day?" I think says something really scary about your current provider, or the software you're running. It shouldn't be a problem for any real hosting provider.

Yes, it can. :)

Thanks for the explanation.. sounds like it's the better option either way considering the volume of clicks the OP is talking about.
 
VPS > Shared Hosting any day of the week. Regardless of the project.
