We’re back and badder than ever
We’re finally back! We’ve had an interesting couple of days here at Morrise.com. Our server has been down for a couple days. That is because of this Digg post. Yes, once again Morrise.com was on the front page at Digg. As many people know, this causes your website to be hammered with visitors. Which, is nice for some things, but not great for your server. The server did manage to stay up for several more hours than it did before. Then I got this email:
Hello Benjamin
Your site morrise.com was suspended because it consumed an excessive amount of resources.
One of our techs was doing a routine check on the server, and your site was consuming
more than 40.15% of the servers RAM, and more than 33.27% of the server CPU resources.
Our policy is 10% of the entire servers resources.

So now, I have had to upgrade. I’ll tell you what, this thing is nice. I now have access to the box and I actually have RAM that I can use. It seems to go quite fast. We’ll see how it handles another barrage of Digg and yes, we hope there are many to come.
