seeing more of the same today - ~15-20 seconds of dead air every 10-15 mins or so...
OK, scratch that - more like ~10-15 sec dead air every 5 mins right now...

Yeah. Made a point to check in more often today and I see what you mean. Right now it's seems down due to too many users on the database...
*sigh*

Its too many users connected to our host. That's all of the sites on the host, not just ours.

Ah, gotcha. Gotta love shared hosting.  If I ever win the lottery, we'll have a dedicated server.  |

How much does a dedicated server cost?

Ballpark - just checked at GoDaddy - $89 per month (on contract) for bare-bones dedicated hosting. LOL - also in their product lineup, I'm curious what the difference is between "shared hosting" and "virtual dedicated hosting" |

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm sure it's not much of a difference. $90 per month is a bit of a step up from the $7-$8 a month I pay for what we have. Would probably need to up the cost of donor bonuses a bit... $50 per version for donor bonuses?  |

Ouch!! Thats a lot!! How hard would it be to have your own server? would that be a possibility? (I am sure that ya'll have already thought up anything I could, and rejected it for obvious reasons... just trying to help... |

Building/buying my own webserver would likely be a couple thousand dollar investment*. Plus, I'd have to upgrade my Internet services to a business level plan, a SIGNIFICANT increase from what I have now.
The reality is we're kinda stuck with what we have now. My contract with the host goes for another year+ anyways, so it'd take some pretty good convincing to get me to switch. Just need to stay on the host about keeping things running smoothly.
*EDIT: Yeah, I could set up a simple LAMP box that could handle things, but if I was gonna self-host, I'd want to do it right. Reliable machine and some backup redundancy incase of server crashes/power outages.

right, that makes sense... Like I said, I didn't really know what I was talking about... lol! It does seem like you have thought of pretty much everything.. yea, a couple thousand is a bit much out of a community such as ours... loyal, yes, rollin in the dough.. not so much... lol! (If I ever hit the lottery, ill give ya enough to do it right! LOL) |

LOL - yeah, sorry, I posted it here, then I decided this ELE was worthy of a more direct scream for help, and emailed a screenshot to Tim and pulled the post. |
