| Did You Know? |
A Change in Paradigm: Dedicated ServerI found it hard to believe, but suddenly I was faced with a real problem. Well, I suppose most people would not consider it a huge problem, quite the opposite, in fact. However, it was stressing me out complete, interfering with my writing. I even had trouble sleeping.
What was this horrendous problem? My web site was becoming very popular. So popular, in fact, that I was getting very worried about bandwidth charges.
You see, this was happening after September 11th, 2001, and I had been reading about some people who had created very special and beautiful sites. These sites were so incredible that they attracted lots and lots of visitors. So many visitors that they received hundreds of gigabytes worth of traffic. The webmasters suddenly found themselves charged hundreds or even thousands of dollars for using bandwidth over their allocations.
I had purchased a contract with a shared hosting service which allowed 27gb/month of traffic. This seemed like more than enough at the time. However, I was noticing the bandwidth increasing at an alarming rate - about 2gb/day. At that rate, I would exceed the allotment by quite a bit. I had some time, but not much.
