My site was taken off-line due to the enormous amounts of traffic
flooding in because of Saint Nicholas. It was taken offline December
2nd. I cannot really blame my provider (
IPowerWeb
), in fact, I am quite
pleased that the site could withstand all the traffic with their
simple virtual server service. Some statistics:
-
Google AdSense counted 305895 page impressions on December 1st.

NedStat reported the following statistics:

This is the first year my site survived the Saint Nicholas
festivities. All records were scattered, with a peak 247.212 visitors
per day on december 5th. I am extremely pleased with the performance
of my provider:
ipowerweb
. The
past years with
HostRocket
were really troublesome, as they unplugged my site at only +/- 90.000
visitors per day already.

- My provider closed down the site because it generated too much traffic. This year it reached approximately 70000 visitors per day before being shut down. The number is slightly down from last year where it got 92550 visitors in one day before being shut down. Currently, moving to a dedicated server is not (financially) feasible. It would be if the site received that much traffic during the whole year, and not just on Saint Nicholas...
