Just spoke with our current server provider what they told me last night they could do for me today to help with the traffic, they are now saying they can't do, and only have a server that costs $500 a week. I was going to do that until they said the downtime window was 15 minutes to four hours
I just don't trust them. These are the folks that basically wiped out last November's posts and stories because they wiped the wrong server, mine. It's one of the reasons why we are leaving to be with go daddy someime over the next week as I have already paid up for a year of their service on a great server build out for us, something much more capable than what we have now.
So the site could experience some slow loading today. It's frustrating for me too.
In the event that things to slow to a crawl, be sure to follow me on twitter: @hawkeyenation. You can see that link below this one. Also, the facebook page too.
If you want to be certain to be able to access our chat that will begin at 9:45, click on this link and keep it open in your browser.
This way, the chat window will already be loaded on your computer, as the actual chat is not hosted by our servers, rather, through coveritlive. If the site is loading slow at the time of the chat, it won't matter because you will have already loaded this page and you can activate the chat and be just fine.
I hope things don't lag today, but given yesterday's demand was the most we have ever had on this new version of HN, I suspect today will be intense at times, too. I appreciate your understanding and thank you for making HawkeyeNation.com a part of your daily Iowa Hawkeye online experience.
