downtime blues
What happens when you leave your site on a little downtime? stats will drop of course. transfered marvinryan.com to a new server lastweek, unfortunately wasn’t able to fix the SQL database until three days later. and as it seem the downtime had devastating effects on readership. >.< although hopefully it’ll pick up again soon. ^^

So that explains why your site was down so long. I was wondering what went wrong for these couple of days.
For my case, my site was unfortunately suspended for 24hours”due to causing of heavy load on the server”, my webhosting company explained. I tried emailing them to explain to me the meaning in layman’s term but did not get any answer. Nonetheless,they were kind enough to reply it will be unsuspended in 24hours and notify me the next day once my site was remove from unsuspension.
Do you or anyone else know the explanation of the term “heavy load on the server”?

Jacques, sorry about that. regarding the heavy load on server, it could be a number of things, the problem could be from your site or another person’s site hosted on the same server, sometimes unproperly coded php can cause this problem, large queries to the SQL server, the digg of death, etc.
Gordon, ^^ still keeping me fingers crossed
Ngee Khiong, sure thing, thank you for posting those posts in the first place. ^^
