I have a wordpress site and having 50k visits a day I am currently using a dedicated server but I feel the site is quite slow and sometimes reach a downtime when traffic spike up. I am looking to amazon or something similar, just wandering if they are better and cheaper than cPanel

  • cPanel is a control panel app that web hosts use. 50k page views is not so significant that a dedicated sever cannot handle it. There has to be a reason such as being I/O bound which is where most hosts fall apart. I used to be a web host and one of my own sites hosted on a Cobalt server handled 100k page views per hour before slowing down too much. At 100k, pages still completed within 4 seconds. This was with a CMS. – closetnoc Jul 28 '18 at 23:53

    Also consider that WP is a pig. Find out where your site is failing specifically. Learn how to analyze system performance metrics to see what you really need before jumping into another situation. Otherwise, you could be wasting your time and effort. Cheers!! – closetnoc Jul 28 '18 at 23:56
  • WordPress needs a caching plugin if you want it to be fast. Have you installed one? WP Super Cache is a good one. WP can decently well even on a slow host with some caching. – Stephen Ostermiller Jul 29 '18 at 10:25
  • I already did that cache plugin, cdn , dedicated server from a known hosting and still having spike issue so I am wondering if amazon hosting scales better than cPanel hosting? oh I already tried server that uses litespeed but not nginx yet – JeVic Jul 30 '18 at 00:15
  • @StephenOstermiller I think its not a duplicate question. I should rephrase my question, – JeVic Jul 30 '18 at 00:16
  • Both CDNs and Amazon come in a variety of sizes and levels. Amazon is easier to get a bigger slice for higher cost. – Stephen Ostermiller Jul 30 '18 at 01:19
