    hey,

    I was curios to know at what point should a wordpress hosted site move from a shared hosting account to a dedicated server?

    Would a shared hosting account handle 20.000 unique visitors per day?

    Also at what point would WP Super Cache be vital (other other caching plugins)?

    Thanks

    a decent shared hosting can handle upto 5K per day in my opinion..

    Whilst wordpress is very sustainable I would say that shared hosting would not manage that many visits per day

    Thanks for the input, any other thoughts on this?

    I'm talking about a website that is not heavily loaded, basically it contains only text, banners, images and video embeds.

    I've seen other opinion that a shared hosting could host 20000 unique visitors.

    Hi, I never needed to move from a shared hosting provider to my own server and I even have more than one (wordpress) website running on that hosting account but that could be because I don't get that many visitors a day so I can not guarantee that the same would be true for you.
