It is possible to have too much traffic to your website? It is certainly not the worst problem in the world to have, but one you should be prepared to deal with at some point. You never know what could happen if a boost of visitors beyond the capacity of your little website happens to stop by. When a website is overloaded it can shut down, or you might be forced to pay extra to your web host because you do not have enough bandwidth to support the influx of visitors.
You are probably reading this thinking that you will not have that problem, but unexpected things do happen. As an example, a relatively small time blogger was recently invited to the White House by First Lady Michelle Obama to participate in a family and workplace forum.
This event was widely reported on various news sites, including big ones like MSNBC and CNN. Exciting news for the blogger no doubt, but there is also potential for disaster. Her sudden popularity could cause her website to crash, or to stop running smoothly due to the increase in visitors. While the added visitors are certainly a boon to her business it does not look if a popular site has crashed.
Luckily you can prepare for these issues. Do your best to make the necessary arrangements to keep your site from falling apart should it become popular all of a sudden.
One of the other problems you could experience with a website is called a Denial of Service Attack. This is a malicious attack that will flood your site with so many requests that it causes the proverbial meltdown.
These attacks can be very dangerous to your server, your website, and your business. In order to protect yourself you can use firewalls, and other software designed to protect and prevent others from loading your site with unwanted requests. It can be difficult to strike a balance between allowing those requests that build up your web traffic and those that go overboard with the intention of destructing your site. You may consider hiring a professional to assist you with this process.
If your site is hosted with a good hosting company, and prepared with enough bandwidth there is no downside to getting a lot of traffic from your marketing efforts. It's what you want, right?
Therefore you shouldn't skim on paying for decent hosting. For under $20/month you can get yourself set up with a reliable hosting company, and plenty of server space to withstand the biggest number of traffic.
