Hosting online courses
-
I will be using LearnDash to build out online courses for a WordPress site, but I am concerned about being able to scale the site as we are expecting an influx of students next year. Has anyone run online courses hosted on WordPress and if so, what has your experience been like during periods of (heavily) increased traffic?
Alternatively, does anyone have recommendations for a different web host to use in conjunction with LearnDash?
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

We’re a fully hosted service, so we can definitely recommend ourselves. :)
First, it sounds like the site you’re speaking of is using the self-hosted WordPress software from https://wordpress.org/ and to clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
But, that doesn’t mean you can’t move your site over to us. ;)
For here, you would need a paid Business Plan or higher to run a plugin like LearnDash, and we have no traffic or bandwidth limits on those plans. You can find pricing and feature comparisons at https://wordpress.com/pricing/
We don’t offer free trials, but we do offer full refunds: https://wordpress.com/support/manage-purchases/#refund-policy
And, if you’d like to try moving your site over to us, just follow the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/
Please let us know if you have any more questions!
