At the end of this article I have also linked to relevant article from other blogs which will help you to make your website/ blog, Digg proof.
What follows is a list of these web hosts which handle the digg effect without a Glitch. The best way to find a web host which could survive the digg effect was to ask bloggers whose blogs had survived the digg effect at one time or the other.
This webhost is known to sustain a lot of traffic. Pete Cashmore’s Blog, Mashable is hosted there and it has survived the digg effect more that 50 times. Infact, Mashable is so popular because it has hit the digg frontpage so many times. If that is not enough, TechCrunchis also hosted there and has survived the digg effect more than 100 times.
FreelanceSwith which has survived the Digg effect quite efficiently more than once is hosted there and mosso servers also have Faster response times than MediaTemple.
This is the first choice of almost all serious bloggers. Not only is it cheap, but also has the lowest response times. Quite a large number of Digg Surviving Blogs are hosted there which include Myethi and the Web Files.
Cheapest of all web hosts, this Web hosting service is popular among small bloggers. The Web hosting plans start from as low as $5/month. Clazh was hosted there when it survived the digg effect.
The web host which hosts CopyBlogger. Almost every article of CopyBlogger hits the front page of digg. (Update: Copy Blogger is now on the Auto-Bury List)

Site5 is SOOO much better than Dreamhost. I used to be a Dreamhost customer, and their servers are completely overloaded with people. Their speed wasn’t very good, and their customer service sucked. I’ve had a much better experience with Site5 – and it’s only $5/month for 50GB of space, 5TB of bandwidth, and 55 domain pointers – they’ve since doubled this deal for the same price, and now they’re doing 750GB of space, 7.5 TB of bandwidth, and unlimited domain pointers for $7.50/month. If you have Dreamhost, try it out.

Media Temple has gotten a lot of praise recently. Their prices aren’t bad either. I had problems with my old host, so hopefully the new one is better.
Bluehost? are you kidding me? Bluehost are probably the worse, I am a bluthost customer and i’m switching to mediatemple next month, Sure, bluehost’s hosting plans are great, but the reality is they screw you over with the cpu/memory quota, I know that from personal experience, when you account gets a slight increase in traffic they immediately suspend your account due to “exceeded cpu quota” this is a common problem with bluehost users.
the other day my website was featured on the front page of IMDB and once the traffic hit in, my account got suspended and it remained suspended the entire day, and the worse part about bluehost is their technical support, helpdesk tickets take normally 24 to 48 hours as a minimum, and as you know with webhosting you can’t afford to just sit around for 24 hours helplessly while your site goes offline and you can’t do anything about it.
and their live chat help system is a joke, if you try to use it in regards to tech support due to any of their many common problems regarding your website going down all you get is a paragraph from the FAQ, but no live what, no real person to talk to. :\
Out of 7 different bluehost hosted sites that have hit the front page over the past 8 weeks, everyone went down 3 seconds after hitting the homepage, and they all stay down for a very long time.
Bluehost is too packed it can’t handle a digg it can’t handle anything anymore.
