How beefy of a server do you really need?
In this video we’ll look at one very important spec, which is response time, also known as time to first byte. I’ll scale up a server while performing a stress test to see how it performs.
The more concurrent requests your website gets at the same time, the higher spec’d server you’re going to need to keep your site feeling snappy.

Gridpane – Best for agencies who server a lot of clients and are okay with some simple command line actions. Save money as your agency grows by using commodity cloud computing providers directly without the hassle of being a sysadmin.
