How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?




I am maintaining a website that contains mostly simple html (just a little php).

Normally the site receives only 4000 hits per month, but it was recently slashdotted by the New York Times (>30,000 visitors and 30 GB in a day) and the web host provider (bluehost) throttled the CPU in response.

This slowed down the website considerably. What web host providers would offer a more scalable solution?

Ideally I would like a high-quality host that charges by the GB and can handle bandwidth to expand during sudden slashdotting episodes without a reduction in performance.

You can consider moving your site to the cloud so that you can almost have unlimited scalability but still pay for what you use.
