Every SaaS product starts on cloud infrastructure. It is the obvious choice: low upfront cost, instant provisioning, and the flexibility to scale as the product finds its market. Most SaaS founders do not think about infrastructure at all in the early stages, and they should not. The product comes first. However, at some point, usually […]
WordPress powers 43% of the internet. It also runs on some of the most underpowered hosting infrastructure in existence. Most site owners only discover this at the worst possible moment. A traffic spike during a product launch. A WooCommerce store slowing to a crawl during Black Friday. A membership site timing out when a newsletter […]
A freshly provisioned dedicated server is not a secure server. It is a blank machine with an operating system, a root password, and an open SSH port, exposed to the internet from the moment it receives a public IP address. Most server compromises do not involve sophisticated attacks. They involve automated bots scanning the internet […]
Video is the most demanding workload on the internet. Additionally, a single concurrent stream consumes orders of magnitude more bandwidth than a webpage. A thousand concurrent viewers do not just multiply that demand. Instead, they amplify every infrastructure weakness that exists in your hosting environment. Buffering, latency spikes, and stream drops are not user experience […]
Migrating to a dedicated server is one of the best infrastructure decisions a growing business can make. It is also one of the easiest to get wrong. Not because the process is technically impossible, but because most migrations are rushed, underprepared, or missing one critical step that only becomes obvious at 2am when the site […]
Most infrastructure conversations focus on two options: cloud or dedicated. But there is a third model that sits between owning your own datacenter and renting managed hardware, and it is the choice of some of the most demanding businesses in the world. Colocation hosting. You own the servers. Someone else houses them. This guide explains […]
Cloud hosting became the default infrastructure choice for most businesses over the last decade. The pitch was compelling: pay only for what you use, scale instantly, and let someone else manage the hardware. For many businesses, it delivered exactly that. But in 2026, a growing number of companies are asking a question that would have […]
Choosing between a dedicated server and a VPS is one of the most common infrastructure decisions businesses face, and also one of the most misunderstood. The specs look similar on paper. The pricing gap is significant. And the consequences of choosing wrong show up at the worst possible moment: during a traffic spike, a security […]
You’ve probably come across the term “bare metal” when researching hosting infrastructure. It sounds technical, maybe even intimidating. But the concept behind it is straightforward, and understanding it could change how you think about the infrastructure powering your applications. This guide explains exactly what a bare metal server is, how it works, how it compares […]
You’ve made the decision: it’s time to move to a dedicated server. The performance gains, the security control, the guaranteed resources, the case is clear. But now comes the question most guides skip entirely: How do you choose the right provider? Not all dedicated server providers are equal. The difference between a good provider and […]
Not all website traffic comes from real users. A significant portion of internet traffic is generated by bots, automated programs designed to perform specific tasks. Some bots are beneficial, such as search engine crawlers, while others can negatively impact your website’s performance, security, and reliability. Understanding how bot traffic affects website performance is essential for […]
As servers power websites, applications, and digital services, they also become prime targets for cyber threats. From unauthorized access attempts to automated attacks, exposed infrastructure can quickly become a liability if not properly secured. This is where server hardening becomes essential. Server hardening is the process of reducing a server’s attack surface by eliminating unnecessary […]
