Hello, I just migrated my domain to the digital ocean. Currently using 8gb ram and 4cpu [ shared cpu]. When it reaches 100 online visitors at a time, then the site goes down and loading very slowly. To overcome this I resize my droplet to 32gb ram droplet. Then also it downs several times when it reaches 200 visitors a time. My problem is I can’t reize droplet to dedicated CPU as it has less disk space. The shared CPU droplet is not working for me. So, please let me know how to create a load balance without losing data.

Hi,
What you could do is just:
- Create a LoadBalancer
- Create a new Droplet with the necessary requirements
- Migrate your website to the new Droplet
- Configure your LoadBalancer so that it balances the traffic to the new Droplet
- Test your site with a hosts file
- Point your domain to the LoadBalancer
That way there should be no downtime at all.
