It’s entirely feasible to host over 300 websites on a lean setup of just a few machines, and Stormkit makes it happen with a smart, scalable configuration. This post walks through the technical details how the infrastructure is set up, what it costs, how reliable it is, and what it takes to manage. Let’s dive in.
The foundation is a compact yet powerful hardware and software stack designed to handle hundreds of sites efficiently. These websites generate millions of requests per month, so reliability is a core concern.
To support the hosting environment, we’ve added a few key components:
Frequent deployments are a hallmark of modern development workflows. Here’s how we’ve streamlined the process:
Managing 300+ websites might sound daunting, but with the right tools, it’s surprisingly straightforward:
domain
and path
allow for unique configurations, ensuring every site has its own look and functionality.Since the client primarily serves regional customers, global distribution wasn’t a priority. All resources are hosted in a single region, optimizing for simplicity and cost.
Here’s how the numbers stack up:
Total Monthly Cost: Around $1500.
Cost Per Website: Roughly $5 per site.
It's important to note that these prices are mostly cloud provider dependent and can be further optimized by selecting alternative providers, leveraging reserved instances, or using spot instances where applicable.
When hosting hundreds of websites, uptime is non-negotiable. Here’s how this setup performs:
This setup demonstrates that hosting 300+ websites doesn’t require a sprawling infrastructure or a massive budget. With the right tools, a lean team can manage a large-scale operation efficiently.
Whether you’re managing a handful of sites or hundreds, this approach proves that scalability and cost-efficiency can go hand in hand.
