Wordpress.com Business Plan
Do they have some kind of limit / Fair Use ? CPU, RAM, IO ?
I can't find any info. Asked in their support forum, and a staff said, I shouldn't worry about it. My websites won't be going down, regardless how much my visitor hammered it. But, it's kind of vague and too good to be true.
Is this true ? Anyone have any experience with Wordpress.com business plan ? I can't find any contact support for presale question.

Honestly, @25/month with yearly commitment for a single domain hosting, I am pretty sure the limit, even when it exisits, is pretty damn high.
there is generally no limit, if you install shitty plugins like broken caching ones they will just remove them
as long as you are hosting a real blog/site (not wallpaper spam, etc) its effectively infinite scaling.
Depends on the business, for mission critical apps with 20k concurrent user logged in, 25 / month is cheap.
I am hosting web apps for education / LMS, with heavy customization and hosting for about 200 schools. It's basically PHP Application created with wordpress framework.
an example of this would be https://cbt.my.id/ nobody will think that's made using wordpress by just the look of it.
Ah! Fair sir. Fair. Sometimes I do get indulged into the LE process. Nice project
To put things in perspective, my service could bring down the likes of cloudjiffy server to its knee. To the point that they need to shutdown my service, because it's affecting the host node. Even crashing and corrupting the NFS and the Database node, to the point that I can't mount / use it anymore.
I am literally losing Millions (IDR) and clients at the time. But, like a saying. What doesn't kill you make you stronger.
Yeah this is not wordpress, don't bother if you are going to try that.
Yeah, I tried explaining to the staff, this isn't just another wordpress sites where the user just read stuff. They just keep saying, not a problem.
I wish there's a way to get hold to the real support.
I suppose I will just use them to host content, and get that content using rest api. in this case, even the free plan should work.
Looking for no hassle wordpress hosting? Try https://hostwp.net
.
Shilling away wordpress business plan is a solid hosting. Support is good.
It said access denied. Also I don't think hostwp can handle my traffic. Even I am hesitate to go with wordpress.com.
Are you in China or Brazil?
Indonesia
Have you ever looked at FlyWheel?
No. Are they better than wordpress.com ?
I'm also having WP sites on their business plan. During pre-sales questions I had asked about CPU/RAM they notified me that there's no hard-limit for the business plan in terms for CPU, RAM, I/O. But a fair-share usage is expected from the customers. Now what this fair-share usage limits are - they didn't reveal. But considering the plan price and also reading reviews of few clients having high-traffic WP sites on business plan, it seems CPU (vCPU) can be anywhere between 4 to 6 and same can be the RAM. And if you are using ONLY to serve content on WP pages then it might not trigger the bell, but if someone is hosting for image-sharing, wallpaper download, software download, etc. then they might ask them to upgrade or leave!
P.S.: In their TOS, 6th clause, sub-point says: "Will not overburden Automattic’s systems, as determined by us in our sole discretion;"
Thanks for the explanation. I guess serve content is fine. I will host the apps somewhere else and load the content using ajax api calls.
Really? Cloud Jiffy is running on Jelastic that should guarantee host node protection
Curious is that a custom written solution or you using one of the many LMS Wordpress plugins available ? I don't have much experience with LMS so asked my forum members and did my own research https://community.centminmod.com/threads/experience-with-learning-management-system-wordpress-plugins.18290/ and I came to conclusion using Wordpress for LMS isn't going to scale due to the logged in user related load - the backend resource usage requirements will be much larger as you increase in user concurrency. Moodle seems like it will scale much better from reading I've done. Still haven't had enough free time to research and test more though.

@yokowasis , what are your requirements? Hetzner and NetCup can provide you systems at less than 1.1 dollar per GB of RAM, do you truly need a managed service with a vague AUP?
Interesting that a post started on LES 4 hours ago is already indexed by Duckduckgo/Google.

A good friend of mine has a learning academy for finance and legal professionals. His setup IIRC is 3 instances of Google Cloud Platform for LMS (1 of which is for DB, 1 backup) and a WP front end for the main site.
Yes, the support said so. Because apparently I consume too much processing power, and spawning too many node.
Yes, it's a custom solution. As of right now, I made the entire site cacheable, and serve the whole website on bunnycdn. User related data is queried using nodejs using ajax, because nodejs performance > php.
But even in this setup, my dedicated server keep hitting 100% CPU Usage.
That's the million dollar question, what CPU Power do I really need. For RAM 32GB is enough. I suppose at some point I will going for full serverless application, So I dont have to deal with managing a server.
I am thinking about Wordpress.com for Serve the Content AND Google Cloud Function + Google Realtime Database to handle user login and session.
Thanks, I will check them out.
and the question is where is that 100% cpu usage coming from ?
mostly coming from mysql handling both php-fpm and nodejs connection.
i guess, critical issue is Database Caching
cause mostly dynamic db / authenticated user
is it possible for you to offload queries to redis.
not possible. Most queries is sending students answer to the server. The read queries get cached by the bunnycdn anyway.
Hetzner managed server?
@op - so 200 schools at a hosting cost of 12.5 cents a month per school? How much are you actually charging them? If truly a web service that you plan on growing why not attempt to get into the amazon program https://aws.amazon.com/activate/ perhaps then you could get resources without overloading an account that most providers would close due to heavy system stress
I believe OP is located in Indonesia,
So, 12p budget makes sense.
This is a good idea, thanks. But I am halfway converting my code to Google Cloud Platform.
@op firebase.google.com?
