Got featured on a big site or went viral? Awesome — unless your website crashes from the sudden traffic. That’s where proper hosting setup becomes your best friend.

Shared hosting often can’t handle sudden spikes. You’ll want cloud hosting or VPS that automatically scales resources during high demand.

Use caching tools (like LiteSpeed or Cloudflare), a CDN, and lightweight themes to reduce server load. It’s not just about your host — your site’s setup matters too.

Also monitor your traffic and resource usage. Many control panels have analytics that show when your site is being stretched too thin.
