Woop(ra)s!

Ahem.

Last Friday, I posted a cool thing I found on Threadless.com.

On Monday, iWeb sent an e-mail to Hébergement CMS Outaouais saying LeSombre.ca has to be moved to its very own server, as it was using more than 2% of the server’s ressources.

I didn’t get it, I have unlimited bandwidth, and I’m only using 27% of the HDD space I’m paying for.

We exchanged a few emails back and forth, and after a while, Hébergement CMS decided to get their own server instead of the co-location model they were following.

Turns out my post was just really popular. Look at my Woopra stats:

I’ve been stumbled upon a few times too…

This post is popular. As a point of comparison, my home page has 131 views.

How insane is that? My most popular post is basically something I took somewhere else and posted on my blog.

I feel so cheap. I guess tomorrow’s post will have to be better on its own.

On the other hand, not having to get a dedicated server is much less expensive.

Maybe I’ll just post my shopping list then. Who would want to stumble that? ;-)

    Isn’t it funny how the most mundane stuff ends up going viral?

    I think its funny.

    Although I don’t think paying for a dedicated server is funny.

    LOL – that explains why I’ve been getting so many hits to my site from yours then… My comment on that post has been creating lots of traffic. Too bad I barely update right now…

    suze recently blogged it’s a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown…

    @SheilaCSR: I’d like to get stumbled more often. ;-)

    @NYCWD: Well, my Host is kind enough not to charge me more at this point, but we’ll see… ;-)

    @Suze: See my trick is just to take something I find and republish it. You can do it too. ;-)

    Does this mean you have to pay royalties to the person you lifted that info from?

    As for Woopra, it’s a great tool for keeping track of who’s visiting your site.

    @MartyMankins: Well, since I did quote the source, I don’t think I have to. Right? Please tell me I’m right. ;-)

    Have you tried WP-Super-Cache plugin? It drastically reduces bandwidth and CPU utilization on wordpress sites and I love it.
