I use Digitalocean and it’s pretty good because you can scale up and down if you get a spike in traffic. I sometimes get over 120k visits a month because of spikes. I have heard Siteground is good but I don’t like their marketing. Makes me mistrust them.

Hey,
We are now hosted on a dedicated server, however we have a plenty of other stuff, I am sure that a good shared hosting like SiteGround should work well.

codeinwp hosted on shared? You must have a forgiving host running WordPress, an Alexa score of near 25K, with traffic 60 K a month! Who are you with?

First of all thanks for pointing this out, I just broken some redirection at some point, now it should be ok .
Regarding the server costs, obviously for codeinwp costs are quite low and can easily be hosted on a shared server, for themeisle, since we create accounts for free users as well and now we have 40k+ along with a lot of other ecommerce data, required quite good servers.
In total nowadays we pay around $600/month, however we can do fine probably with less than $100, I just don’t have time to optimize our things 🙂

Suppose If I have only 40-50 USD to spend per post on my blog. How should I spend to get max benefits?
