The undersigned

If you have experienced any problems with getting connection to my blog the last couple of days, it might be because I have moved the site and updated the DNS.

Two days ago I was contacted by a reporter from computerworld.dk who had read my post about my previous web host. This has resulted in some coverage on the issue through this article (danish).

In the article, Surftown responds:

We do offer free traffic. We have never let any user go, because they had too much traffic. But a customer may not, according to the contract, use so many ressources, that they trouble other users. Our customers are not always in control of their traffic. But most ressource-problems are created because the customers use bad code on their site.

(Whole article in english)

I know that WordPress might make many database calls etc, but I could eventually have installed a cache plugin. Furthermore I don’t understand why Surftown through their own administration interface offers a one-click-install of many other CMS’es, such as Mambo CMS, PHP Nuke, xoops, Coppermine Photo Gallery, Gallery and much more. As far as I know many of these OSS scripts are not optimized properly as well, and Surftown offers them, themselves.

I have moved the blog to CompuTech Hosting LLC who has been so kind and sponsored a server for the blog. They have been sponsoring webdesignbook.net for quite a while, and my experiences with them has only been good so far.
