Title: Web site outage day after launch
Post by: grandchampion on December 12, 2007, 07:10:38 am: Just curious what happened there, did Bit-Blot and the hosting service have different ideas on what was appropriate bandwidth usage?

We're on a dedicated server now, so there shouldn't be any more downtime. Our host was even nice enough to help us move the site, even though it's not their policy to do so.

LOL! Too much trafic that is! Seriously, to manage such a feat, Aquaria sure is a success! :D

I've sent several e-mails out to various indy game makers with compliments/comments (when they were very little known), questions(game problems/bad glitches), or... Can't remember the other one. Either way, they all replied by the next day and were way too kind, it's a nice change from the hotlines or websites like EA.
