Dathorn just Suspended I-Hacked for "Excessive Use"

Seriously.. Excessive use?

The page got mentioned at collegehumor and I had just put up an article on "Xbox Live Hacking" and they took it down. It was well within its Bandwidth usage for the month. WTF. I know there had been about 500+ users on it at all times this week.. I am sure it was taxing, but I never signed anything saying I would only have small sites with them. WTF

Andrew. Put it back up.

Dathorn can be a bit unreasonable with their policies sometimes but no one with any knowledge of shared hosting could possibly agree with you. 500+ concurrent users? Your site needs to be on it's own server. Period.

Yeah, but my traffic comes and goes.. It will do that for a day or maybe a week.. But then goes down to 2-10 concurrent users for the rest of the month

As far as traffic goes, I was just under 10gb for the month..
 
Bad news 🙁

I just consulted a few web hosts who all agree that 500 users is excessive for a shared hosting environment. So even SonataWeb.net wouldn't be able to help you out.

However I have a possible solution, can you PM me your phone number?

You never did mention what your problem with Dathorn was but you seriously can't expect any shared hosting provider to put up with those kinds of loads. Go try running gottadeal on any of the shared providers you mention in these forums.
 
Just heard back from Andrew..
Yes, I apologize, it looks like I mistyped your e-mail address when I sent
you the notice. The domain was suspended as visits to that domain were
creating over 600 system processes on the server such that it was
inaccessible.

ouch! We will work it out, I will keep you updated.

Thanks all.. Rossman, I will pm you my number if it gets to that point, for now it is just getting late.. 🙂
 
Ok.. I am chatting with DeviousTrap (thanks all)

I did some research..

I got Fark'd, CollegeHumor'd, &amp; several Blogs about a certain article all at one time..

Some of us would love to have those problems.

Now that GottaDeal.com has switched to a dedicated web hosting provider we could easily handle that and then some 🙂

check out http://www.servint.com/ their virtual private server offerings are pretty good too.

ServInt is awesome but they start at $49/mo which is probably out of his price range.
