If you visited my website earlier today and found it missing with some complicated message in its place, then my apologies. My webhost Matt reports from the engine room that I exceeded my monthly bandwidth, which he says was largely due to the picture files, and my friend Angus's mullet radio programme which has been downloaded 640 times this month!
Basically, any website's server can only handle a certain amount of pressure from visitors – every time you visit a website you make its server work hard to deliver you the text, images, sound files or videos you ask it to show you.
Matt hosts several websites, and has a certain amount of his server's power allocated to each – but all you lovely but over-enthusiastic visitors exceeded my site's share of it this month. Must be all those people looking for "shetland horse" and "ismael kadare". Matt, being the thoroughly top egg that he is, has expanded my allowance, so my site is now currently rocking and rolling again.
