@Gerald: To answer your first question, SEO Hosting puts your site on a unique Class C IP address, so your site would not be associated with any “bad neighborhoods” that could result in blacklisting.

In regards to your second question, since you are using WordPress for you site (great choice by the way!), I recommend the WP Super Cache plugin (which has been designed specifically to help blogs survive the “Digg effect”): http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache/

I meant to say “sudden surge in traffic because”. Not search in traffic bacause.

These are all good points. Obviously you don’t want you site to be blacklisted because it is on a server with spammers. Also pretty obvious you don’t want your site to go down because it can’t handle a sudden search in traffic bacause it is on the first page of digg. Can you tell me regarding these two scenarious is there any measures in place that SEO hosting and/or Hostgator has in place to regulate spammers websites on their servers. Then regarding the social media example would I be less likely to have my site down due to a sudden spike in traffic if I’m hosting with hostgator or SEO hosting?

I guess I’m just curious how these scenarious can be addressed.

Thanks.
