AlthafAhmed.com is 11 days old for today. I had hosted with Doreo.com all these days. I have actually been with them for the past 5 months and they have never let me down. My blogs were always up 100% of the time. The problem arose in the last 3 days when this blog received a good surge of traffic. So far, in the 72 hours, the blog has received about 41,000 visitors. Doreo cannot handle it.
I realized the urgency of the matter 12 hours back when I noticed the continuing surge of visitors. I did not want to take a chance. I knew it was time to move. So, this morning I moved the blog to Hostgator. The process took about an hour to complete. I lost about 1200 visitors according to Wordpress Blog Stats which was monitoring the incoming traffic all the time. Not a biggie.
Hostgator has assured me that they can handle up to 15k visitors per day comfortably. Their assurance backed up by their 45 days guarantee plus a direct access to the C.E.O Brent made me happy. So far So Good.
So What?
