Yes, VPSes can easily handle that with Wordpress. Setup something like Supercache or Cache Enabler to generate static files so it's just Nginx doing all the work and have php-fpm set to ondemand.
I would say yes because your visitors dont visit your site at the same time. Protect your site against bots and use a cache plugin.
How would i.e. Centminmod.com or easyengine.io make a difference?
Centmin Mod latest beta LEMP stack handles Wordpress auto installer configured full page HTML cache setup pretty well examples from users
How Centmin Mod's latest beta LEMP stack differs when it comes to it's Wordpress auto installer versus other folks standard Wordpress installs is outlined at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/differences-between-wordpress-regular-install-vs-centmin-sh-menu-option-22-install.15435/
Some facts
With all that said, combine that with optimised Cloudflare front end web acceleration + Centmin Mod LEMP stack = nicely scaling Wordpress setup
Is CentminMod only for Wordpress sites or other PHP based sites too?
Centmin Mod LEMP stack can be used for any web app just that 60% of users use it for Wordpress and 35% use it for forums like Xenforo/vBulletin/Invision Board as that is what my experience and most of my day job/paying clients use it for. You can check out Centmin Mod's official community forum at https://community.centminmod.com/ and as you can see dedicated sub forums are for blog/cms/wordpress and forum software as well as other web apps sub forum.
I also recently started a new Wordpress blog (powered by Centmin Mod LEMP stack) for reviewing/benchmark control panels in general at https://servermanager.guide/. One of the guides I wrote is Advanced Centmin Mod Installs as well as Centmin Mod Wordpress installer guide
I am averse to installing any extra software on VPS and want to configure everything manually. But this CentminMod looks promising so I have to give it a try. Debian version would have been much better but I will manage CentOS so no issue.
Yeah give it a try on a test VPS - hourly billed VPS makes it cheap to test https://community.centminmod.com/threads/guide-to-learning-more-about-centmin-mod.10838/
WOW I just realized that you are actually the person (George Liu) who developed CentminMod. Excellent work man.
It's like one of those realization I had once on Microsoft TechNet forums discussing something related to Project Server when I realized the person I am talking to is actually the author of famous Project Server book which I was reading.
Yup that's me ^_^ Thanks for the kind words
Yes, you can host a WordPress site which can handle 10000 visitors keeping in mind that the WordPress site should be properly cached and optimized. But it is always recommended to purchase a VPS with 1G memory since some memory is required to run the underlying OS, MySQL server and control panel if you've installed any.
It also depends upon the number of simultaneous requests, if there are large number of simultaneous requests then it could result in the slow loading of the site. So the web server should also be optimised properly.
yep
/thread
It really depends on multiple factors.
Whats your bandwidth
What script are you using.
If its a plain HTML hell yeah you can hold 10000 visitors, just use a CDN too, which will cache stuff.
But if your using a script/database, it depends on your script's optimization.
use cdn
@Ishu1998 You fucking donkey.
another necro
Yes, a well turned simple WordPress blog could manage 10K visitors per day.
You could do simple things like offload heavy jss/images to CDN providers, setup a wp caching plugin, optimize/reduce size of images (e.g. convert them to webP images), stick to minimal internal WP plugins. There's a Wordpress plugin that converts dynamic WP pages to static HTML pages. Doing this will dramatically reduce computation/IO writes/bandwidth demand and easily get you over 10K/day. From my experience, I've seen a site completely come to a standstill from a few hundred visitors a day, how? Their homepage had 50MB worth of images so after 20 visitors, that's 1GB worth of bandwidth chewed up! Normally heavy I/O activity is what kills a site.
i think you can host this on 256mb of ram if you tune it right.
Wake up is 2020 already
