A few days ago I transferred my blogger site to its own domain, hosted on a shared Aussie host. I host a number of sites with them and they have one of the best reputations for hosting but today I was not so happy.

The server has been crashing over the last few days and apparently it's all due to my post on photos of Paris. It seems everybody loves Paris and the page got over 7,000 visitors and 12,000 page views yesterday. Thanks Stumbleupon!

So my wonderful host decided to suspend the site without any warning or notice whatsoever. I only found out when I went to submit a new post. I believe they could have just throttled the bandwidth but to suspend it was going a bit far I think, but it was really the lack of notice that bothered me more that anything.

After being down for most of the day they decided to give me back my site and apologised for not contacting me about what was going on.

I've now installed WP Super Cache which should prevent any problems in the future. Fingers crossed.
