1. A computer-implemented method for scheduling a modification to an online store, the method comprising:
scheduling a particular modification to an online store to automatically occur on a computer system hosting the online store at a first time;
monitoring third-party access corresponding to the online store;
determining, based on the monitored third-party access, a level of third-party access for the online store;
determining, based on the level of third-party access, a second time for rescheduling the scheduled particular modification to the online store to occur on the computer system hosting the online store, wherein the particular modification increases resources available to the online store by moving the online store from a first server to a second server;
determining that an anticipated level of third-party access associated with the online store at the determined second time is sufficient to automatically perform the scheduled particular modification to the online store at the determined second time; and
based on the determination that the anticipated level of third-party access associated with the online store at the second time is sufficient to automatically perform the scheduled particular modification to the online store at the determined second time, rescheduling the scheduled particular modification to the online store to automatically occur on the computer system hosting the online store at the determined second time instead of performing the scheduled particular modification to the online store at the first time.
