    Hello everybody!

    My website is wptemplates.org providing free wordpress templates, with around 3000 views per day and about 8000 posts...
    Is there anybody that could offer me a hosting? Do i really need VPS or dedicated hosting if i havethe stats as i mentioned?
    There is a small problem, and so I had now my site hosted at byethost and they said following :

    "This query as presented was causing EXTREMELY high MySQL usage in terms of CPU and memory, this was affecting other users access to the same resources and thus your account was suspended.
    If reactivated, would you be able to remove, reduce or limit this query and the impact upon server resources?
    "
    So I hope anybody will help me,

    Thanks!

    I would recommend a VPS but dont think you should need a full dedicated server yet maybe 1-2GB of ram would be enough.

    Definitely just a VPS to start off. You can always upgrade later.

    I think that you should pick the top website hosting company. Find signs of reliability of the company you are going to deal with.

    You'd better contact your host directly and ask about the solution you need to order.

    i dont think you need to spend money on a VPS.
    You just need a good host. go to myhostbots.com and check their platinum plan
    I am also getting good visits like you , i moved to myhostbots and now i dont have any problem.
    Also i recommend you to use the WP Super Cache plugin , it will speedup your site

    Just go with a VPS.

    But, before you spend the money, ensure that you are not using any unwanted WP plugins which consumes more resources.
    Unoptimized WP installation on a VPS would be a disaster.
    I found a very good slide on SlideShare
    www. slideshare .net/ wpbeginner/ speedupwordpresspdf

    You can use WPCache / WP Super Cache to boost the website performance.

    Hope that helps.

    I believe that the best solution will be to contact your provider directly and ask them.

    this is a good point because each host can operate differently and would know their hardware themselves the best

    Hi,

    Can you please read also my post?
    Maybe you can use also a good VPS but you need to configure MySQL and PHP to cache common query.

    Start of with a VPS you're far off from a Dedicated Server.
