Apologies for slow website this morning…

November 21, 2011 | Announcements | By: Mark VandeWettering

You might be experiencing slow response to my website this morning. I think it is merely the perils of using inexpensive shared hosting, but I’ve filed a support ticket and hope that it will get resolved shortly. I appreciate your attention, and hope you will persevere in reading, even if the site seems a bit slow.

I can’t complain too much: my website costs me about two lattes a month to run, which means that I don’t need to annoy anyone with advertising and the like to provide it for you. But that being said, I would like my website to run smoothly and quickly for my users. Anybody have any good, cheap and reliable hosting that would be appropriate for running a website that sees 500 or so visitors a day? What’s this I hear about cumulous computing?

Coincidence it happens around the same time ANGST is featured on hackaday? Cool name for the project btw.

It’s Black Friday. I think it’s a wonder anything is working. Your web loaded up ok for me. If you look at the Internet Health Report, you’ll see a lot of red connections across the backbones.

Try out an Amazon EC2 instance. They will give you one for a year for free to try it out and after that a small instance is still pretty cheap.
