In return to his hard work, a lot of traffic and new sign ups brought to greengeeks.

3. Arvixe – This name is more and more famous in the industry for it's stableness and fantastic customer support. All is resulted by the right marketing  of arivxe team. Beside the search engine ranking, they always keep up fantastic hosting support and their sign up statistic is rising every day!

They will learn about how customers think about their service then improve side by side. No much motivations on their official site, they will let you determine if they're worth to deal with.

Why hostgator announce the special offer?

Definitely for business marketing purpose, since there's not many other web hosting providers who offer such expensive hosting plan, hostgator must do something to get more customers. The competition in hosting business is more and more fierce, if hostgator continues with their old price there's no much advantage we can think of. I think this offer should be launched earlier since there're many excellent hosting providers who can offer services with much lower price.

Who is the biggest competitor to hostgator?

Who should be the biggest competitor to hostgator in this industry? Actually it's really hard to find another so big hosting brand like hostgator, What we can find is other leading service providers like Arvixe and webhostinghub etc. They are all standard cpanel hosting groups with all add-ons, you won't be regret to sign up hosting from either place.

They proudly to compare with the major web hosts and show their confidence in winning customers by offering leading speed and support. With up to 90 days money back gurantee, it's absolutely worry free to deal with their service.

Right before this article we discussed the advantages of wordpress and it's popularity. We also compared wordpress among Joomla and Drupal. In this article we'll discuss about the wordpress known issues and how should you use wordpress if you're going to launch a successful site in the long run.

What's the problem of wordpress?

You might be surprised to see there's some problem for wordpress. Don't worry, it's not security related, here we're talking about the website marketing. What we want to express is, if you're going to put up a big website with lots of traffic, wordpress is not the right choice. Why? Let's see below.

The wordpress bottleneck

When wordpress was firstly released, it's designed specially for personal blogs. Although many people are favorite of it's clean design and powerful article management and you may get all kinds of suggestions to use wordpress, it's never advised if you're going to launch a big wesite with high traffic. The problem is on the mysql database, frequent queries will hang up the server and cause high cpu/memory usage. The wordpress official support also stated this:

"In high-traffic situations, many simultaneous connections to the database can cause excessive load on the server. In this case, connections to the server may not complete, causing the typical "Connection timed out" response in the visitor's browser."

So the basic idea is, wordpress is designed for personal blog purpose but not any others. Who will write blogs up to thousands and even millions of articles?

Why wordpress is still used by some high traffic websites?

Although wordpress is not the right choice for high traffic and large size websites, you still found many famous website use it. why there's no problem? The answer is they configured Load balanced Servers. What does that mean? It means there're multiple servers to balance the website traffic from the backend. If there's not so much dollars available, why should you use multiple hosting servers to support a single wordpress website?

The basic conclusion for wordpress is

1. The bottle neck for wordpress is on mysql database.
2. wordpress is only the best for personal blogs

High Traffic Website Choice

well, there're many choice available depends your detailed requirements on the website. For content management system, joomla should be the best since it's user friendly to both end users and web developers. Tons of free joomla skins and components will guide you in every way about how to running a successful website.

UPDATE: Above issues can be solved easily by web server configurations such as Varnish for apache and litespeed or nginx efficient web server solutions. You can feel safe to design your site via wordpress platform.
