https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/dedicated.asp?ci=9014&display=dedicated Will the economy plan handle a front page digg? I'm looking for something that can handle getting short bursts of traffic. I have a website that I'm getting ready to relaunch, and initial traffic won't be high. I won't need a dedicated server for normal traffic spikes, but If I happen to get for example, a front page digg, would this economy plan survive it?
It's not really about the server (well, you need good HD's too), it's more about the bandwidth. If you ever did manage to get on Digg's front page then you can always increase the bandwidth if it starts getting too much. KP
I think you should ask the server provider about this. There are some services which provide you special services if you plan or expect something like traffic from digg (on a large scale) Check mediatemple.net not sure about the service quality but you can search for reviews in webhostingtalk.com or somewhere similar forums
