title: What web hosting setup should I use for high traffic website?
body: <p>I am fairly new to dealing with high traffic websites and I'm looking for a setup that will be able to scale well into the future. </p>
  
  <p>My site currently uses one main script to pull data and store it into a database. The rest of the website is mostly presentation of this data from the database. </p>
  
  <p>I have been looking at the possibility of using Amazon Web Services (EC2) or Google Compute Engine for running the main script. Then transferring that data to a more typical web hosting service. One thing I am not sure that I need to worry about is load balancing, I've seen that using NGINX for the load balancing can help improve the performance. </p>
  
  <p>My goal is to have the site up 99.99% of the time and execute the script as fast as possible. It would be optimally nice to have a great support in case something goes wrong too. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas, comments, or suggestions are welcome. I'm am trying to learn how to handle this as I have a couple other websites that are currently growing and may need such a setup in the near future.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
