This post has only 30upvotes right now, I'm surprised that website couldn't hold it. My WP blog hosted for ~3euro/month was a few times here on top with 600UV, on reddit, according to GA with 3600 people online at the same time... and it didn't die to my surprise. I would rather say that hosting is... not performing well.

Upvotes are probably not a good estimate of traffic from HN hitting a site for a multitude of reasons, for example:

- not everyone upvotes

- there's probably a substantial number of users who are content to read articles but have never had a login (I did for two years)

- social media amplification.

I know, that's why I mentioned reddit too.

That 503 looked like apache mod_security throttling.

That hinges on the assumption that most (or even a non-negligible amount of) visitors will upvote the article.

Static pages vs something like WordPress?
