I’ve been running Kenst.com since 2009. While the content has changed over time, the site has remained a blog. Kenst.com has gone from self-hosted on a Windows Home Server in my living room, to Blogger, and ultimately to WordPress. It’s been migrated to and from so many different hosting providers over time that I’ve lost count.
For a time all my sites were hosted on a single “shared” plan. This meant all the sites shared the quasi-dedicated resources of the plan. The problem came when Kenst.com would take the full allocation of memory and crash everything. Even with Cloudflare caching the top pages the traffic was too much. It was time to get a little more serious about hosting.
