= I am currently with BlueHost on a dedicated server and the website still keeps crashing with only 8k visitors a day. I need alternatives? Would WordPress hosting be a solution? And which hosting company? =

Please help. It's a news website

What makes you think its a problem with the hosting not the website code? I think I'd struggle to configure a LAMP stack so badly that a single wordpress site with traffic levels like that brought a dedicated server to it's(or a least in a way that I cold plausibly deny that I wasn't deliberately trying to do it wrong). On the other hand I could
*easily* configure wordpress and some plugins so that it "crashed" all the time at those traffic levels

Is the server managed, and if so what have Bluehost said about this so far? Exactly what is happening when the site "crashes"? I ask this because you don't want to go to the trouble of moving host and then still have the same issue

You are absolutely correct there is nothing to base that on. I just took over this website from the previous developer. And I can't seem to figure out what has been done to it that has brought a dedicated server to its

BlueHost Support agents say it is due to a lack of optimization. They keep telling me to optimize the database (which is done twice a day), to make sure plugins and WordPress files are up to date (which is done). Apart from that they mention debugging plugins to see if they are causing the issue (which is left) as well as being if we have some bad scripts (which is left)

I don't exactly know where or how to begin with either of the two in terms of there is so much extra things he has done and anytime you try to do something the whole website crashes

BlueHost is an EIG host and customer service and reliability has suffered along with most of the other propertied the group has purchased

I'd recommend checking out r/cloudhost for alternatives, but I'd personally recommend looking for a fully managed provider to help with updates and general server maintenance

I Want To Host Your Website has good VPS

Not cheapest, not the most expensive. Always be careful of cheap VPS

I develop static website/apps with flat file databases

A static app with flat file database is the most fast thing with highest performance you could ask for. If your website concept is simple, maybe it can take me one or two weeks to remake it in this way, and it can be cheap. A custom made static website with flat file database will solve all your problems
