with an out-of-the-box configuration, Wordpress is notorious for dying if you so much as breathe on it. It requires generous lashings of caching to make it workable.

If you haven't already, install W3 Total Cache or WP-Supercache.

W3 TC is installed. Just had a massive influx over the last two days that overwhelmed even that. Seems like its time to upgrade hosting plans.
