My site just made it to Boingboing the other day and the whole thing got shut down by my host. Does anyone know about how long the “boingboing” effect lasts? I love the traffic, but my host is not lovin it and shut me down with a warning. Right now they’re keeping it off temporarily to see if the traffic dies down a little before putting it back up, but how long does anyone think that will be? My host is awesome though, and the service is great, I just can’t afford to put it on a semi-dedicated server right now. Meh.
