“Scaled through a traffic spike with a slider”
Used weekly for 1–2 years
We got covered by a large publication and traffic went up forty times in an hour. Resized the server from 2GB to 8GB from my phone, took ninety seconds, no migration and no downtime. On shared hosting that would have been a dead site.
Pros
Vertical scaling actually works under pressure. Real cloud resources. No contract.
Cons
Had to buy email hosting separately, which I did not expect at signup.
Problems it solves
Survived a traffic spike that would have taken the old host down.
