Sorry for the downtime, I should have mentioned that we were getting put on a dedicated server. My old hosting account expires later on today and I wasn’t really keen on all the problems I was having with that company. The host that I’m on now said that because we use a large amount of space and bandwidth with the podcasts and clips (that are going to be up by the end of the weekend hopefully) that there was no way they were going to be able to afford to put me on a regular reseller (as we take up almost what the whole company has for those clients).
Since this site has opened, we have gotten just about 700,000 hits (since the end of February) and just the fact that every month has clips that range from 500 MB to 1 GB in total, if 2,000 people downloaded them, we’d be in the terabyte range. I want to be able to have all the podcasts be downloadable, but I noticed that when I did post them up the other day, it was about 500 MB all together and of course, someone wanted them all (I don’t blame them!).
So yeah, the site should be able to take the 16,000 people logging on again without any problem, at least hopefully. We’ll just see what happens.
New podcast episode out late Friday/Early Saturday.
