Update 2: Second server is live. Should be a bit better…
Update: Everything seems to be working… for now. In any case, I have a 2nd server coming online in a few.

Wow, first time I've ever had one of my sites dugg! Over 1.5K uniques within the first hour before the site died. I had it up again for about 2-3 mins, but it got hit by another 300 uniques and went down again. I've put in another reboot request for the server. If you can't get in now, try again in a hour or so!

Thanks!

Digg is a powerful “weapon” someone on Digg suggested Digg insurance, what if servers/hosts just offered a special temp package upgrade once they detected large scores of Digg or Slashdot traffic so that whatever’s so interesting there can be seen

I’m thinking this may have something to do with the volume.
