It came out of the blue, the announcement that our web hosting service would be suspending our account due to menterz.com “consuming excessive resources on our database servers.”
We had three days to fix the problem and no idea what the problem really was.
We still don’t know.
But three days have passed and they haven’t shut us down yet (although we shut ourselves down for a while to try to stall whatever was causing the drag on the database servers.)
I’ve been searching access logs, removing potentially problematic pages, and writing access rules to block bad bots.
And now we’re back online–sans some files that I still want to clean before I put them back on the web. So if you get a few more 404 error codes than you’re used to, I apologize.
Something happened.
I’m still not sure what.
That is really odd. I’m glad you knew what to do. I would have been totally lost.
Huh. WeiRd! I hope you’ve fixed the problem! Haven’t seen any error codes but if I do, I’ll know why!
