Knowing when to upgrade your hosting plan is of utmost importance if you are running a business, or you want to establish your online image. Being prepared and opting in for more resources is a proactive decision when you expect a lot of traffic coming your way.

Why has my traffic increased?

This attention could be generated due to a couple of factors:

• You are an official retailer of a product highly sought after.
• You are launching ad campaigns regularly utilizing the dominant social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
• You are providing authentic and original content. Additionally, you have structured your website so that it abides by search engine algorithms, which took it to the top of the search results!

Regardless of the reason for attracting more visitors, you need to prepare and ensure the growth of your site.

Be smart and analyze

Here are a few tips you can use:

• Keep close track of Google Analytics and your cPanel's Awstats. If you see your traffic expanding on a month-to-month basis, consider an upgrade.
• Depending on the type of website you own, pay attention to the growth of your users and subscribers. If their number is increasing, you may want to look at what your options are to expand.
• You want to deploy more sites or domains that will further support your online endeavor. We recommend an upgrade in this case, as this will give you confidence when moving forward.
• You need specific functionality, not available in the current environment, or requiring insufficient resources to set up.
• You are about to start a massive ad campaign, hitting all the social networks along with public television and local radios. You will need to upgrade your plan as these campaigns are typically quite expensive, and you can end up losing a lot more.
• Any other reason that might drive you towards the decision to upgrade. Be that for personal comfort or convenience - if it does not break the bank - why not?
