"Too Much Traffic"

[Brandon]

Do you think there is any such thing as "too much traffic"

I do, what if one day for some reason you suddenly got 1 million uniques to your site. It would overload and probably crash obviously!

[dojo]

Oh, let me see that day :D

I would gladly pay for a better hosting plan ... but so far this too much traffic didn't happen. The good things is that it's increasing, but not that much to cause server crash ...

[kmg9000]

I would always like more traffic so I dont think there is such a thing as too much

[Indy]

Yes, I do.

That'd be when you reach your daily bandwidth limit, and don't have the time/money to transfer it to another host.

[Low Ri-der]

Nope, bring in the traffic!

[FactSupply]

Well if your doing untargeted traffic. Like advertising on kids sites for webmaster site is a bad idea, and in that case you would be getting too much traffic.

Your hosting will determine what too much traffic means. If you ever get too much traffic, contact me, I will give you a great place to redirect everything.

[Brandon]

Yea.. but just about every site people on this forum owns couldent uspport the amount of traffic google gets. Youd reach our bw limit in 5 minutes! LOL

[illusion]

I never think there is too much traffic, the more traffic you amass the more clicks on ads you get. So if you suddenly crash, just get a better server

[Gareth_Boyd]

Imagine going front page of digg.com your server could go down easily if you didnt have a good host! :laugh:

[Brandon]

Yea I've heard that too. Wish that could happen to me.

[important]

You might have heard of the traditional "slashdotted" or the latest "digged" (or on front page of digg.com). If that happens, even a powerful server gonna crash or at least become overloaded and very slow.

Too Much traffic is beneficial if you're prepared for it, or else it's probably not welcome.
