Alas, there was no Sunday Speelinking or Fair Review Links this weekend for one very good reason. Friday morning I posted an article about the Rugby World Cup. It was Dugg. It was Stumbled. It was indexed by google bloody quickly. Long story very short, here were my stats for the past 4 days.
Now, those 400 visitors don’t look a huge amount – but they came in a space of about an hour or so, and my old server didn’t like them, and it keeled over and died. My account was suspended, and I got a lovely message telling me that fact.
I had no problem with my old host, they were great, but the next level up was quite a bit more expensive than I was paying for now. So I decided to look elsewhere.
In the end, I’ve plumped for Resellerzoom.com, it seems pretty good, and it’s a flash Reseller account! What that means is that I can host multiple web pages, more than the 5 before. I can now host 200 web pages. I have a few domains dotted about that I may just use to do some link building. Got a few ideas for side projects I want to carry out (two in particular). However, they are for another day.
At the moment, it’s getting back to normal. Fair Review is still down, and I’m having problems getting it back up again. The Forum’s are also down, and rhyswynne.co.uk could use a nice cleanup. Either way, I’m going to fix a lot of things before moving onto anything new.
So that’s why blogging has been sparodic recently, and will be. I’ve also been very busy, but a really shit night out (for me anyway) has left me in a horrible mood. Send lovely comments please (in other words, mention how well Colwyn Bay played, and don’t mention Wales, who were at times shonky yesterday).

Do you use the WP Cache plugin? It worked a charm for me when one of my old blog posts was digg frontpaged – 60,000 page views in a 72 hour period (10,000 in one hour at it’s best/worst) and no problems.
Unfortunately a follow up post was also Dugg and I’d forgotten to reactivate to plugin after upgrading it. The result was that my site went bye-bye for 4 days while I argued with my hosting company about it.
Is it good? I’ve heard differing reports about it it. Of course I’d like to try it out though. Anybody else used this plugin successfully?
Hehehe, I host at resellerzoom for gnomeynewt.com and my other personal domains. Congrats and that is awesome that you got dugg/stumbled, I was one of those stumblers! Did you ask if resellerzoom can handle that load and what package did you get?
I got advanced one, what have you got?
I may post a message on the forum enquiring about this, just to make sure that it’s okay
resellerzoom fucking rocks. heh
damn you showing off your massive hit numbers. I need to learn about rugby. Also whilst Wales in the contest I’m on their side not England.
Jeez, I’m glad I’m not with your (old) host – my site would never be up!
Me, I’m on the cheapest plan they got for my personal domains :c), but it works great non the less! I do think they have a cap at somepoint, but I don’t remember what it was exactly because I don’t ever have visitors to my personal domains unless I actually put some picture up or something, which reminds me I should probably go do that. :c)
Server was down again yesterday? Everything okay now? :c)
