I'd strongly suggest you try getting some real web hosting, and then applying these tips - you'll find that your website should be able to cope with the pressure. I'm not sure what you expected with shared web hosting. :wink: Of course you’ll crash the server on a shared account - that’s why I advised against it.

I've hit the FP on a shared server a few times and even with no images, ample bandwidth, WP Cache and an accelerator you can still crash the hosted server and piss off your provider. If you are using a WP blog then you really want to avoid using any/all PHP. Each PHP request to the database no matter how small requires processing from the server. Very quickly these requests will accumulate and slow everything down. The best strategy is to create a static and small html page to be loaded and disable the comments. WP super cache also has some very nice features like "lock down" and I would recommend it over the standard WP-cache for the digg effect.

I guess Digg is more of a general effect. I wonder which delivers more traffic, a good /. or 'Digg'ing an early web server grave?

Although I doubt reaching anywhere special on Digg. Saving bandwidth is always good in my book. Very useful. :mrgreen:
