Yep. That's exactly it, it's on a cheap server and too much traffic. Anybody experience this before and/or know some quick solutions?


You mentioned Heroku in your post. Why did you decide not to host there?

jekyll on S3 is a pretty killer combo for a cheap blog that scales infinitely and automatically. You'll probably like it, especially since you're a ruby guy.


thank you for the suggestion, will look into that. The popularity of the posts def caught me off-guard..


It is hosted on Heroku:
