Hey all! Happy New Year!

Our managed hosting solutions are a great alternative to hiring a full-time sysadmin, and the team of senior sysadmins works wonders for optimization as well as security and DDOS protection. We also have just introduced network-wide DDOS protection that I'm currently prepping announcements about. MojoShield will help with more specific attacks and hacking attempts beyond the general flood DDOSs. If you're open to switching hosts - let me know! It'll likely be cheaper for you to get managed MojoHost hosting than to hire someone, and then they still won't be available 24/7 like our team is.

On a side note - horizontal scaling is the only truly long-term solution when one server's resources become too taxed. Separating into specialized servers is also a very good way to go about it, but eventually even specialized servers need to be clustered. Whether you want to start with simple load balancing or specialization is up to some analysis of where your load is. If all of the load is on your databases - then a database server is your way to go, if the encoding is clogging up your CPU - a dedicated encoding server, if you're running out of web resources then split the load for sure. We offer load-balancing as a service at no extra charge for our managed customers. Another solution could be CDN. Are you already using it? When properly set up, CDN will take away 90% of your server load.
