you've just launched your blog or an e-commerce website or any other website
at the very beginning you're almost probably not going to have too much
traffic coming to your website however once your brand name becomes very famous a
lot more traffic is going to inflow to your website and in these cases you want
to have a premium hosting platform in order to ensure that it can handle all
the millions of the requests coming to your website and it doesn't crash
whenever a traffic surge happens traffic surges usually happened either
by planned or unplanned events that drive an influx of visitors to your
website some examples of planned events can be
seasonal changes discounts or simply any event that you
know that it's going to cause more traffic coming to your website and
unplanned events include things like I don't know maybe sudden media is talking about your
website and then audience deciding to come and visit your website and it's a
huge opposes traffic or maybe a sudden demand for a certain type of products
you never know so you want to be prepared for anything now what is
scalability scalability is all about handling the increased amounts of your
website so whenever you need more resources for your website your hosts
will automatically scale and provide them for you now how can you benefit
from scalability believe it or not scalability is the most
cost-effective choice of a hosting website because especially if you're
operating in a unpredictable workload and growth pattern involving business
environment you will need to be sure that whenever any types of changes
happening traffic wise or the need for memory it will be provided to you by
your host automatically and your website will not crash at any time now let's
talk about the selection of the types of hosting for having a great scalable
hosting platform for your website the first step would be dedicated hosting
it's one of the best ways of ensuring that any resources given to your website
would scale and you will not have to share the resources given to your
website with any other website dedicated hosting is very flexible for adding a software
and changing server configurations and it is highly reliable compared to shared
hosting and it is so customizable according to your needs
and requirements now let's talk about that disadvantages of the dedicated
hosting the one of the main disadvantages of a dedicated hosting is that
it is pretty pricey and it can cost you about $100 a month for dedicated hosting
can go as high as from 150 to 250 dollars a month for a managed
dedicated hosting now the server updates of dedicated hosting can take you for
don't know a few weeks and the administrative tasks are pretty
challenging as well and technical knowledge is needed for maintaining
setting up server performing daily tasks also resolving technical issues whenever
they occur now let me explain why 10Web is the best hosting platform for scalable
hosting. 10Web is a managed wordpress hosting platform powered by Google
cloud and it has substantially lower prices and offers all the necessary
