I’m planning a roll out of a potentially high traffic web application based on WordPressMU next week. Scaling an application requires patience and good humor.
High traffic web applications require two fundamental isues be resolved before exceding anyone’s expectations. The code needs to be optimized for peak performance and web hosting throughput needs design analysis and buildout.
Hosting’s not rocket science. If the code is good (none better or more elegant than WordPressMU) and your application is having problems with:
Shared hosting, try upgrading to Virtual Dedicated Hosting.
Virtual Dedicated Hosting, try upgrading to Dedicated Hosting.
Dedicated Hosting, try upgrading to a higher-powered dedicated server.
High-Powered Dedicated Hosting, it is time to talk with your host about multiple Load Balanced Servers.
Thanks Matt
