We have 35 upvotes for this story, 30kB for the content... say 100 visitors (a 3:1 visitor-upvoter ratio is more than generous). Is it normal for the resulting 3MB traffic spike to suspend a shared-hosting account? It just seems too bad to be true!
- BasDirks 15y agoI don't think you're even close on the 3:1 visitor ratio. I'd like to see some numbers on this.
- rawsyntax 15y agoAnecdotally, I got 130 upvotes, and something like 8000 visitors on a recent article posted here ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2597973 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2597973 ), which is more like 60:1
- akarambir 15y agoI'm the owner of this website and talking about the numbers. It was about 2000 visits until my account was suspended. And after redirection to http://ennovates.wordpress.com/ http://ennovates.wordpress.com/ visits were 1900 there till writing of this comment. so 44 upvotes and around 4000 visits.
- ez77 15y agoThanks for the actual figures, and sorry for my poor estimate. So the load was 60MB instead of 3MB. Just out of curiosity, was your account rightly suspended? What quota applied?
