Title: VPS for a Website After a Sudden Spike in Traffic
Post by: SaraF on Aug 20, 2026, 09:57 AM
The website has grown about threefold over the past few months, and my regular hosting plan has already started hitting its limits. During peak hours, I'm seeing high CPU usage and slow PHP response times.

I want to switch to a VPS and am currently looking at a configuration of 6 vCPUs / 16 GB RAM / 150 GB NVMe. It's important to have daily backups and the ability to quickly scale up resources.

I'm currently checking out hostpro.com. Is this configuration sufficient to start with, given that the main load is on PHP?
