hey guys, i been through a lot of trouble with my site, usually daily traffic around 2k-3k and every thursday i am gonna get a huge traffic around like 8k suddenly for my site i have tried a lot of vps it still make my website down so i need a vps that can support my website with affortable price http://narutotown.com
With an optimized blog (supercache enabled) there should not be any problem with that much traffic on a 512 ram vps. I highly recommend reading a few wordpress optimization tips (there are a lot of tips on these kind of traffic optimization, when you get a lot of traffics only in a short time interval - digg, slashdot, or in your case the new episode of Naruto) You should use supercache's "Directly Cached Files" option, at least on thursdays, that is exactly for these cases. Reading: http://blog.unixy.net/2009/12/optimize-a-large-high-traffic-wordpress-blog/ Also there are a lot of similar post, just google it. You should first optimize if your site becomes unaccessable only on thursday.
