    Good points, however point number 9 is just lame.

    Having 200 people visiting your site in a day would crash a shared account?

    There are hell lot of bad service providers out there, but I seriously doubt any one would be that bad. At one time if 200 people are visiting your site then surely it will make it crawl or crash, but then again switching hosting is easy if you have a little tech know how and couple of hours at hand.

    Yeah number 9 is a joke.... lmao... Have these people ever even used shared hosting before? 99.9% no mod_rewrite? It all looks made up.... I have many shared hosting accounts and run more then one site on each... All get good traffic and no problems.

    I'm sure we all know most of these mistakes but we just need a little reminder now and then. I know I do.:eek:

    BTW I use shared hosting...I'm still small league.

    nice article, #8 is always my downfall [A good looking blog is nice, but remember that people want to read blogs not admire the CSS code or pretty pictures, KISS (keep it simple stupid).] :D

    not really needed unless the blog is reeling under the pressure of traffic, in which case it would be a good option to upgrade.

    ps. upgrade doesn't means a three figure dedicated server!

    It's funny, 2-3 thousand visitors crashed my site one host, so WP-Cache was good - although it broke the search function which I need to look at again.

    On the new host, GoDaddy, they seem to be able to handle quite a bit more. Much cheaper too - go figure.

    It looks like they could do with reading their tips themselves, but still, that was a nice refresher on some good things to remember.
