This Last Outage

There was a denial of Service attack on North American DNS servers, this may have been at least partly responsible for the problem.

Three or four sites that we regularly visit, including Google, Smokstak and Listerengine were down at the same time.

Do you know what your average bandwidth is ?

Hmmm... that might explain the "Too many connections" errors I've been receiving recently. Interesting.

As far as bandwidth is concerned, I host a total of 12 domains of which four (incl MLU) are very active; my bandwidth varies, but it can be anywhere from 35 to 50 gigs a month.

I wondered about your hosting package, we use a guy in the UK (as we are based here) but he has a good setup and is relatively cheap compared with some of the cr*p hosting that is around.

We have our own little engine forum, plus 12 domains, five of which are our company's, the rest are our hobby/family sites.

We run at about 10gb - 11gb bandwidth, but that spikes quite sharply when new engine show pictures and videos get posted, up to 20gb. Our hosting guy is very good and doesn't look at peaks, just the monthly average, just as well!

We run a reseller package (we don't sell space in it though) which gives us unlimited domains, storage etc etc, only the bandwidth is 'capped' for want of a better word.

If you find yourself looking for another home, drop me a PM and I'll put you in touch.
