I expected the site to go down much earlier, like 5 minutes after being on
the digg frontpage. ;)

Surprisingly digg wasn't the problem. After it was on the digg frontpage for
almost half a day and still pretty stable, deli.cio.us and several other
social bookmarking sites started to put the link on their frontpage as well
and that was the point where it all got down ... well, what should I say ...
$5 per month just wasn't enough. ;)

Just a few days ago I was thinking to submit the site to digg on my own, but
decided against it as I was sure my site wouldn't be able to handle the
traffic, after all you can't really expect much for $5 if there are
companies that have special packages just for such cases of being dugg or
slashdotted.

So much about 'unlimited traffic' ... :p

Btw, I had a meeting with a client at exactly the time my site gave up. I
actually showed him one of my creations I hosted on the same server, entered
the next url and it was over ... at least I got some free beer after it
happened. ;)
