Concrete5 hosting for 5,000+ visitors / month... shared? c5spot? VPS?
Permalink
People on here recommend Bluehost, A2hosting, and others for shared hosts, but I'm wondering, do you notice a definite speed decrease? Can you install APC and Cloudflare on the shared hosting?
I'm thinking of getting c5spot hosting, but wondering if it's really that much of a site-speed boost over shared hosting.
(Or A2Hosting's VPS for $15/month? How does that compare to c5spot?)
C5Hosting's basic plan is maybe a little expensive for me... also, I will use more than 25GB/month transfer. (Though... if I use Cloudflare, doesn't the transfer get used by Cloudflare's servers, not C5Hosting's servers? Making the bandwidth cap a moot point?)
Would be much appreciated if you guys could help me sort through all this.

Hi guys,
This is Scott M from InMotion Hosting. We recommend using Concrete5 on our VPS or dedicated servers along with APC (which is not available on our shared servers) for proper resource handling.
Additionally, we are currently adding Concrete5 as one of our quick install programs (9/17/12) so we will also begin offering some support for it as well.
Good Luck in whatever you decide!

Also, their support is excellent. I suggest contacting their support to see if their VPS will support your applications.
