Currently, I have the following traffic on my two sites at hostgator.com
Site 1 = 200k visitors / 750k pageviews a month Site 2 = 300k visitors / 650k pageviews a month
Now I am planning to transfer here. What would be the best plan to choose? Is the $80/month enough?
BTW, for site 1, I am using Drupal and Wordpress for site 2.

Should be okay. I have a site with ~250k visitors/month running on a i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80GHz with 4 cores and 16 GB RAM and the server is idling a lot (even with a gameserver and some other services running). <br> <br>Please note that the count of your visitors/month or pageviews/month doesn’t say a lot about the load. It’s the number of concurrent online users that counts. My setup mentioned above should be able to handle more than 200 (I never saw more than ~100 at the same time and the server was idling in this case) so the $80 vps here should do the same. <br> <br>By the way: Why a shared machine? For $80 you could get a good dedicated one. Just curious.
Thanks for the reply LazyTiger. What do you mean by shared machine? I don’t actually host on hostgator using shared hosting if that’s what you mean. I’m using at elite server and paying $279 a month. And where can I find a good dedicated server for only $80?
