We hit the Digg Frontpage again! :)

The article I published last week on 5 Reasons To Quit Drinking Soda Drinks (And How To Do It) hit Digg frontpage 8 hours ago! [Link] This is the 2nd article to hit FP; the first being the post Are You Sleepwalking Your Life Away?.

Turns out that within minutes of hitting frontpage, the whole server crashed from the huge load of traffic. I immediately called Godaddy to hound them on the issue. Turns out they had to take the site offline because of the huge influx of traffic, which bogged down the server as well as other sites hosted on it. There was about 4 hours of downtime in total. Anyway, I have upgraded the bandwidth from 300gig/mth to 1,500gig/mth to unlimited/mth and everything’s loading fine, thankfully! So far, 2/3 of the day has passed and there has been 13,000 unique visitors Update 14 Mar ’09 – We netted out at record 45K unique visitors for yesterday and today! Thank you to everyone who has dugg the article and/or shared with your friends
