    I’m working on a site that gets 6-8 million hits per month and I’m using WP as the base.

    Can I run this on a shared server or will it need a dedicated one, regardless of WP-Cache and so on..?

    I can say yes, or no, but more importantly, what does your host say?

    They’ll be the ones banning you if your traffic or CPU usage is too high. Very important you coordinate that with our host.

    This is what the host said…

    Thanks for the ticket. Although the bandwidth usage is not particularly large, the amount of hits is likely to be an issue with any shared hosting account. Revenue from sites with 8 million page views a month should be more than enough to pay for a dedicated hosting service which I would have to recommend for a site of this calibre. If you do choose to transfer this site to ********** we cannot promise that it will remain up. If the terms and conditions are breached then we would have no choice but to disable the site. Unfortunately we don’t currently offer any dedicated servers.

    Can anyone personally recommend any hosts that sell dedicated servers?
