  • How Digg Killed My Hosting | TUK Needs A Bigger Package

    Posted on March 11th, 2008 Jason 37 comments

    A few of you may have noticed that this website was down yesterday – this blog’s gotten a bit too big for shared hosting and I’ll need to move it onto a VPS/dedicated server. I already had a dedicated server but recently canceled it as I had tons of unused space and it was slow as hell; anyways, I’ll be looking to upgrade.

    The blog currently uses HostICan shared hosting, which I’d recommend to anyone starting up in the industry – their package for a newbie is pretty sweet considering they allow unlimited addon domains and unmetered bandwidth… if your website gets too big though, you’ll need to move, as I’m doing now. I’m going to make an in depth post about HostICan later this week, but for now if you want to signup for the Tera Host package you can use the coupon code University-12 to get $40/off; if you sign through my affiliate link and coupon code, I’ll also give you an hour of my time setting up your blog.

    I’m thinking of upgrading to their VPS-Rage package which costs $45.00/month; the features of it are shown below.

    I’ve just been notified by my buddy Carlin that the reason for this blog going down is due to it being pwned by Digg – the funny thing is that the article which got submitted was one about using proper hosting… and as soon as it got dugg, my hosting crashed. A tad embarassing, but if you guys are going to submit to Digg and then follow up, please let me know first and don’t do so at the moment, as Digg kills shared hosting, as a few of you will have unfortunately found out :razz:

    You can check out the submitted stories here:

    1) Warning – The Web Hosting Business Is Not For Kids (I’m a kid, so I do have an excuse for the server crash :razz: )

    2) What does the room of a Teenage IM look like?

    Total of more than 500 Diggs – I’d be interested in knowing who Bulger is. :) . Read the comments if you want a laugh, having not known about being Dugg or the multiple crashes, I thought they were pretty funny. ;)

    Anyways, I’m considering moving to Hostican as they will move everything for me and I love their support, but if anyone has other ideas, just let me know. I don’t want to go with GoDaddy or Hostgator as they have too much of a bad reputation – I’m looking for hosting with people that will help you move over and are established – price is also important of course :)

    Get the popcorn out

    Those of you that like a little blogging controversy might want to check out the post at John Cow about Graham Langdon and Entrecard comment bashing… it’s an interesting read :)

    Got to run, insane amounts of work these days with a couple essays and two mid terms coming up next week. I’ll be needing guest posters soon enough – if you’re interested, add me on MSN/Yahoo. :)

    I’m also thinking of releasing a custom created eBook and a sales page for it, similar to the quality of the one over here – and charge say, $50/package. How many of you would be interested in purchasing that? :)
