Selling an audiobook on WordPress website hosted with GoDaddy and bandwidth limit

2 posts in this topic

Hi there,

I am about to publish an audiobook, which I will be selling on my WordPress website hosted by GoDaddy (I have the deluxe plan), through the plugin Easy Digital Downloads.

The audiobook is going to be around 200MB, customers will be able to download it directly from my website, and I am afraid there might be some problems with the data usage on the server. Especially on the day of the launch, since I expect to sell from 20 copies to 100 copies on the first day. Moreover, I have already sold around 100 copies of the ebook and the customers that have already bought it, will be able to download the audiobook too.

Do you think there will be any problems with the bandwidth limit and data usage that might cause a website crush? If so, what suggestions do you have in order to prevent a crush?

I have already spoken with GoDaddy customer service, but they are useless.

@Leo Gura do you have any suggestions, since you know about these topics?

Solution found. I need to host the audiobook file on on a private CDN, such as S3. Looking into it right now.
