It's almost like Clouds are really good at scaling and some rented server isn't! Perfect, almost poetic.

It’s entirely possible for a rented server to host a site that gets millions of views. It’s also entirely possible to make an AWS setup that chokes with 100.

I use Cloudflare in front of my personal stuff. Then it's just a quick DNS switch to go direct if I need to.

It's almost like nobody cares about scaling their blog.
