Hello,
I have a WordPress site that people can receive certificates for attending conferences. I have MemberPress installed to handle memberships (some paid, some free). Currently after a conference I upload all the members into MemberPress and have custom fields to upload certificates into their profile. So everything is being hosted on my GoDaddy hosting account. I was running out of resources in my hosting account causing the site to crash, is this because of the numerous files on my server? Is there a better way to serve up these certificates?

I could say maybe look at a solution like Amazon S3 to store the certificates, but if the resources you're running out of is bandwidth, or database size, that won't help.
I'd start by reaching out to GoDaddy and find out what exactly is causing the problem, and from there, you can then figure out the right direction to go.
Just curious, how many members do you have on the site?

I only have 310 members, probably only 100-150 with certificates.
