Web Hosting for Media & Publishing Sites
A publisher's traffic is rarely flat -- most days are ordinary, and then one article gets shared widely and pulls in ten times the normal visitor count within an hour, all hitting the same page at once.
Where shared hosting fits a publisher
LiteSpeed's LSCache serves that viral article from cache instead of regenerating it from the database for every visitor, which is what actually determines whether the site survives a traffic spike or falls over. CloudLinux keeps the account's resources isolated, so that spike doesn't get throttled by unrelated traffic on the same server, and Enterprise-tier shared hosting supports unlimited websites for publishers running multiple properties.
What this looks like in practice
A news site publishes a story that gets picked up and shared widely, sending a large spike of traffic to that one article page within a short window -- the exact scenario page caching exists to absorb, since the article itself doesn't change per visitor.
Worth knowing: A publisher whose viral spikes are frequent and large -- multiple times a week rather than occasionally -- may outgrow what caching on shared hosting can absorb and should look at a VPS with guaranteed resources instead.
