But I guess 15,000 within a couple of hours without the supercache is going to strain any good hosting. I thought Dreamhost is a good host too.

They used to be pretty good earlier but the last few months have been a mess. I once got about 15k hits within a couple of hours on my blog (didn't have supercache enabled) and dreamhost disabled my account. I was asleep at the time and when I got up I opened a ticket and took me about an hour to get the account back up. Enabled supercache and it has been ok since then.

It sounds like Doreo is another good host. I've honestly never heard of Doreo.com before but if it can survive 70,000 pageviews in 2 days then it must have been a good host! It is a bit pricey but you've got what you paid for! Hey, thanks for the share, Kurt. It sounds like Doreo is another good host.

In fact I disabled my supercache plugin 5 days ago due to some htaccess corrupt problem. I didn't reactivate it and then 3 days ago my traffic burst a bit and collected around 52000 uniques (around 70000 pageviews) over 2 days with at one particular time with around 600 people online at the same time. It was night at my place and I was sleeping. The next day I woke up to see the traffic flood and that they managed to handle the site online all night long and no downtime and that's too without SuperCache on :) One disadvantage however is that Doreo is a bit expensive for a share. I pay $17 per month but for the reliability and the speed the reply tickets..it rocks. As you said, better get a good host than go only for cheap claims. I am amazed at the way theyy handled my site coz my blog itself is very bulky. (Got to change my theme soon). But still it loads quite quickly even though there were so many people. For supercache, I need to investigate this. There seem to be a problem when am using it. It's always corrupting my htaccess file by adding loops. .-= Kurt Avish´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.islandcrisis.net/2009/11/dreams-meaning-subconscious-mind/" rel="nofollow">Dreams And Their Meanings – The Subconscious Mind</a> =-.

I think ti's the most beneficial plugin you have mentioned here. Thanks, Brian Michael, I’m adding the super Cache plugin as we speak.
