yesterday's outage
Hi Guys,
Yesterday you might of noticed that the site was inaccessible. That was due to it finally breaking the 5gb monthly traffic cap that my currently hosting plan covers. That's 5gb of mostly text and images. Which is actually quite good news, that means that there's more folks than ever visiting the site. Which is great as far as I'm concerned. I'll keep an eye on things this month and if it looks like we're going to hit the bandwidth limit 2 months in a row then I'll upgrade the hosting plan.
All in all, it's good news and the site is growing slowly thanks to links and people telling their friends about it. It's a small milestone (many sites shift hundreds of gigs each month) but I feel a signifigant one. We average a little over 500 unique visitors a day, which is a far cry from a few years ago. Thanks to everyone who has been involved and read the site, thanks to the forum regulars cos you guys rock.
In the future I'm looking to upgrade the site to the full version of Movable Type so that people can login and submit news easily. If you are interested in submitting news or articles for the site please drop me a line on info at ausmusician.com so I know that there's some demand for setting it up sooner.
