You may have noticed JP was down for a good part of the weekend. I didn’t notice the problem until Sunday morning. So what happened? JP outgrew its hosting. If you aren’t aware of how web hosting works, you subscribe to a package which offers a certain amount of bandwidth, storage space, and processors. I had a grandfathered account, but JP crossed some thresholds by a small margin. But mostly there are so many of you reading, that the old plan couldn’t handle the bandwidth and processing required.
I upgraded to the next tier, which should make JP load faster and fix some traffic-related problems. Thank you for reading and causing this problem! If I have to upgrade to the tier after this one, I may need to do something to defray the increased costs, such as including a few advertisements (yuck!), but I will worry about that problem if JP gets to that point. JP has a lot of room to grow with this upgraded plan.
So thanks again for handing me a good problem to solve!
