Traditional WordPress hosting struggles with scalability, high traffic spikes, and costly server maintenance. The major issues include:
High server costs when scaling up for viral content or traffic surges.
Slow performance due to limited resources on shared hosting.
Downtime risks during peak hours or unexpected visitor spikes.
Heavy PHP processing on the server, causing slow response times.
