I run a website that is growing in traffic and as of this month will clock 1.5 million monthly hits. I am now starting to face a few downtimes with my DO droplet (2 GB RAM, 2 CPU). Would you recommend that I now move to AWS or should I continue with a larger instance on DO and save money? Don't have indepth knowledge about setting these things up, have a friend who helps me out so would prefer something that really has very minimal downtime or issue-fixing. Thanks!
Is the blog run from the raw IP address? I wrote an article about why you should proxy a blog through a CDN: <a href="http://blog.higg.im/2015/02/10/why-i-run-this-blog-on-maxcdn/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.higg.im/2015/02/10/why-i-run-this-blog-on-maxcdn...</a><p>I since moved away from roll-you-own WP solutions as it's a devops nightmare, and tricky to get right, unless you pay someone to do it for you.<p>You should probably try to get your domain off the apex too:<p><a href="http://blog.higg.im/2014/03/10/getting-jque-re-off-the-apex/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.higg.im/2014/03/10/getting-jque-re-off-the-apex/</a>
