Outage and Near-Outage Situation Over
The Instalanche on the jobs post this morning took the site down to a crawl, and then totally down for a while.
I had my web guy redirect all the Instapundit traffic to a plain HTML page (which you don’t need to go to, since you made it to BizzyBlog), and will keep that page up for the next 12 hours or so before converting it back.
I have been working on cutting over to a dedicated environment, and because of what happened I am acceleratng the schedule for doing so.
This “shouldn’t” be happening, but high traffic to the site causes the database to gobble up so much CPU that it shuts down. It’s disappointing that this is happening in a Virtual Private situation, but there it is.
