### Can I run my high-traffic site on Umbraco Cloud?

Currently, we have benchmarked a "well-built" site with approximately 50,000 unique visitors per day (\~1.5 million per month) that performs very well. For business-critical, high-traffic sites, we recommend that you look into Umbraco Cloud Professional and Umbraco Cloud Enterprise possibly in combination with a dedicated server.

Yes, you can. Umbraco Cloud uses the very same Umbraco version that you can download and use on your own. So if you decide that Umbraco Cloud isn’t right for you or your sites then you can clone your site, restore your data locally, and delete your Umbraco Cloud project. We’ll be sad to see you go, but we understand there is a huge variety in requirements so we support and encourage you to choose the best solution for your specific site needs.

Yes, you can. Please note that Umbraco Cloud also uses Cloudflare for DNS, so you need to enroll your hostname as 'DNS Only' with a CNAME pointing to `dns.umbraco.io`. Once you can see the hostname is marked with 'Protected' under the Project / Hostname subpage you can turn on 'Proxying' for the hostname in your Cloudflare account if you need to use specific Cloudflare features like Page Rules.

### My project didn't receive the auto-upgrade. Why?

When we roll out auto-upgrades to Umbraco Cloud projects the very first thing that happens is a check of all environments on a project. This check will verify whether the environments are responding and don't return an HTTP status error. If the auto-upgrader encounters HTTP status errors on any of the environments during this check, the upgrade process is aborted, and your project will not receive the upgrade.

Another reason why your project wasn't auto-upgraded could be, that it failed the test we perform after applying the auto-upgrade. This test compares the state of an environment from before the upgrade with the state of the same environment after the upgrade. If they do not match, we take the appropriate measures to rollback the environment to its previous state and abort the upgrade of any remaining environments.

### Umbraco Cloud creates a SQL/LocalDb database for me, can I use a shared SQL Server for my development team instead?
10841086

10851087
No, you should not use a shared database for your team. Umbraco Cloud is made so that each team member can safely make any changes they need and then send them to your development environment on Cloud. Another developer can do the same and also send their changes to the dev to test. Once you're happy with all of the changes, each developer can pull down the changes from development and continue working on the next change.
