Thanks to all of you who’ve let us know over the last couple of days that TameBay was down. Turns out that letting people download an ebook from your own hosting may not be your smartest idea, unless you have unlimited bandwidth – which we don’t, obviously.
To anyone advertising on the site, we’ve extended your ad by a week, so you certainly won’t lose out. To everyone else – sorry, and we’ve made sure this can’t happen again. Welcome back 🙂

The price of success!
We thought the cut backs had got you.
My suggestion would be to put it on Amazon’s S3 or Rackspace’s Cloud Files. Both will charge you for that bandwidth but it would be completely separate from your own hosting. I think both have CNAME support so you can do something like https://files.tamebaynew.wpengine.com/ebook.pdf .
Missed my fave blog yesterday, nice to see you posting again Sue 🙂
See what happens when you create something that essential and that good? It’s Murphy’s Law in action!
Reminds me of the time that ebay.com had a contest that involved checking information on, I think it was the Smithsonian website — something major like that, anyway — and the resulting deluge of hits brought down the whole site…Weren’t they surprised?!
And doesn’t it just warm the cockles of your hearts to see how many people missed you?
We missed you at the eBay Radio Party & Conference too, Chris…next year we’ll have to find you a sponsor for the trip!
