Website traffic isn’t going to be the bumper-to-bumper type that you’ll have with motor vehicle traffic. There’s absolutely nothing good about roadway congestion and having hundreds of cars idling and going nowhere, but when it’s website traffic we’re talking about it’s an entirely different thing and there is definitely plenty to like about it if your website is serving your business. It will indicate that large numbers of people are visiting the site, but doing so at the same time. That can be problematic if you’re on a shared web hosting arrangement, and it’s those sites that are going to be at risk for traffic spikes. Much less so if if you have VPS hosting hosting, and that’s a big a part of the appeal with affordable Linux VPS hosting. Some sites are bound to have very high levels of traffic at all times, and it’s going to make sense for the people behind them to have a virtual private server for their business website. And for others with the same consistently high volume of incoming visitors it is going to best to have a dedicated server, which will come at a higher cost but is worth it if it means every single customer is able to access your site at any time. For a lot of these websites the situation is one where they can’t foresee how much their business will grow and the way that will be reflected in the traffic going to their website. This is why many business websites start with shared hosting and then switch to a VPS as the growth of their business is reflected in increased traffic to their site. So the question then becomes what is the maximum traffic a VPS can handle, and is there a point where even a private server can become overloaded? That is a possibility, and even a dedicated server is only going to have so much bandwidth available. But the chances of a dedicated server being overloaded are next to zero, and most business websites won’t have the number of coinciding arrivals needed to overwhelm a VPS either.
