My £0 a month server can handle 4.2M requests a day

Probably.

This website is hosted on a very free (£0 a month) VPS, called GitHub Pages. That’s because it’s just a static site, and not reflective of real dynamic apps. To serve 4.2M requests which actually do dynamic work (like save data, show latest posts, or check the weather) you would need a VPS that costs at least £100 per month. You’ll also need to deal with connection concurrency, because while a static page has low latency your dynamic request will take longer to respond.
