Is my hosting server ready for more websites?

Mihai B. · Oct 23, 2023

I have a concern regarding my hosting server's capacity to handle multiple websites with decent traffic. Currently, I have several websites hosted, but I am unsure whether the server has enough resources to accommodate them efficiently. I am also looking for ways to assess if it's advisable to add more websites to the existing setup without compromising performance and speed.

I appreciate any insights, personal experiences, or expert advice you can provide on this matter. Your expertise will be incredibly helpful in making an informed decision about my hosting server's capacity.

Thank you in advance!

How about you provide with your server's configuration, like RAM CPU DISK etc?

There are so much things before providing you the right answer:
- Your Server Specs
- Which web server are you using
- Whcih Database server you are using and how wellll is its configuration
- Number of Currently hosted websites and how much traffic they get
- At some point firewall configurations also matters

What is your existing setup?

With that information, we can all offer our opinions and recommendations.

To assess your hosting server's capacity, monitor its resource usage regularly. Check CPU, RAM, and bandwidth usage using server monitoring tools. If your current usage is consistently high, consider upgrading your hosting plan or investing in a dedicated server. Before adding more websites, optimize existing ones by compressing images, enabling caching, and minimizing unnecessary plugins. Additionally, consider a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to distribute traffic efficiently. Regular performance checks and proactive optimization are key to maintaining a smooth hosting environment for multiple websites.

Hi Mihai,

You should check your bandwidth to calculate how much traffic can your server hold. It depends on your traffic for each website you're hosting as well.

For example, If 100 GB bandwidth is offered by your web host, that is enough to host small to medium-sized websites that receive 10K to 20K visitors per month.

You should contact your hosting provider's customer support.

I am using Cloudways and the customer helps me out with these questions, so I focus on my applications.

These are sensitive situations, make sure you're allowed to scale your server before it maxes out and your sites crash. Make sure your hosting providers allow easy scalability like Cloudways.

Cheers

Without providing server specs it is difficult to assess how much traffic/load the server can handle. How many Cores? DDR4 or DDR3 RAM? How much RAM? HDD, Sata SSD or NVMe? A large factor in server performance is hard drive speeds. I would steer away from using HDDs as they are slow and you can lose data if they fail. I would recommend using NVMe SSD only.
