Forum Feedback Why was TE down?

[iprincepankaj]

Since last night TE was down with error message 509 bandwidth exceeded.
Did TE really run out of hosting space?

 

[DarkAngel]

Guess so. Thankfully its up finally. Was checking once every 20 mins

 

[rdst_1]

yeah me too, had a couple of deals going on.

Its a shame that a site like TE runs on a limited bandwidth hosting solution, considering the number of page views it gets and the kind of money it is bringing in.

@ iprincepankaj

It was the bandwidth which was exceeded and not the hosting space. How much space do you think a forum requires.

 

[hector19]

[iyengar]

Yeah true Bandwidth & space are two different things may be hosting issue?

mods must be very very busy as usual, someone must have noticed it by mistake

TE has sufficient bandwidth to cater to the traffic even if it increased more than 5 times. Unfortunately someone had set a limit at 300GB and it got exhausted in just 20 days. I have reset it as unlimited.

You seem to be completely aware of the kind of money it is bringing in. Just out of curiosity though, what is an unlimited bandwidth hosting solution? The ones you get for $10/month?

They took the pain to keep it up and running for years now, its only natural to want to make money out of anything you invest so much time in. They are however not obligated to spend all the money on the server. Updates when needed, minimal possible downtime and sufficient staff, I'd say they are doing great.

I am glad that the problems, whatever they were are over.
