/ why it needs real iron

Why a busy WordPress site outgrows shared hosting.

Traffic spikes = 503s

A front-page hit or a flash sale melts shared hosting. A dedicated box with LiteSpeed cache serves thousands of req/s from RAM.

WooCommerce is uncacheable

Carts and checkout hit PHP + DB every request. Dedicated EPYC cores and NVMe keep dynamic pages fast under load.

No noisy neighbours

Shared hosting throttles you when a neighbour spikes. Bare metal is 100% yours — steal time stays at zero.

DDoS included

A viral post attracts scrapers and attacks. 1.6 Tbit/s scrubbing keeps the site up without a paid WAF add-on.

When WordPress needs a dedicated server

Most WordPress sites are fine on shared hosting — until they are not. The day a post hits the front page of a news aggregator, or a WooCommerce store runs a flash sale, shared hosting responds with 503 errors precisely when the traffic is most valuable. The cause is always the same: a shared server throttles CPU and database connections across hundreds of tenants, so a spike on your site competes with everyone else’s.

A dedicated WordPress server removes the ceiling. With a full-page cache in front (LiteSpeed or nginx FastCGI cache) most requests are served from RAM at thousands per second, and the dedicated EPYC/Xeon cores mean the uncacheable parts — WooCommerce carts, checkout, logged-in sessions — hit PHP and MariaDB on hardware that is entirely yours. NVMe Gen4 storage keeps database queries and asset reads instant even under load, and a Redis object cache takes repeated queries off the database entirely.

Every Hostfory WordPress box ships with the LEMP/LiteSpeed stack pre-tuned, Redis + page cache configured, automatic Let’s Encrypt TLS with HTTP/3, and a nightly 100 GB backup to a separate cluster. The 1.6 Tbit/s DDoS scrubbing that fronts the whole network means a viral post brings traffic, not downtime — with no paid WAF add-on. The NOC migrates your existing site and database and cuts DNS over with you.

/ faq

WordPress (high-traffic) questions, answered.

How much traffic can it handle?
With full-page cache: ~2,000 req/s on Starter, ~8,000 on Production, ~25,000 on High-load. Uncacheable WooCommerce traffic depends on cart complexity — we size it with you.
Do you install WordPress?
Yes — the LEMP/LiteSpeed stack comes pre-tuned with WordPress, Redis object cache, page cache and TLS configured. You import your site or start fresh.
Is WooCommerce supported?
Yes. Dedicated cores + NVMe keep dynamic checkout fast; we tune object cache to keep the database off the hot path for repeated queries.
Can you migrate my existing site?
Yes — we move files + database, set up caching and TLS, and cut DNS over with you. Free on annual contracts.
Is a CDN included?
You can front the site with any CDN, or roll your own on our CDN edge nodes. Static assets cache at the edge; origin stays on the dedicated box.
