Swim Stars + Olympics = Traffic Explosion!
Just so y’all know, I wouldn’t bother going to any sites on the Swim Stars network in the next 48 hours or so.
The stream of INSANE Olympic-driven traffic has already started and it’s completely crashing my server. Once I reboot it, it’ll function for a few minutes, then the downpouring of hits crashes it again. I’m in the process of trying to move things around and secure a new dedicated server, but those things are upwards of $400 per month. And seeing as how I don’t make money off those sites, you can imagine the situation I’m currently in with regards to website hosting.
So I’m having to be a little creative. I think everything should be settled in the next 2-3 days.
This site, MGoSwim and Swim Stars Live should be ok, but I’m not holding my breath. People are googling up a storm!
So just thought I’d share in case you try to visit say RyanLochte.net and can’t. I’m doing what I can, but I’m not made of money!

MgoSwim is down. I tried to get online this morning and when I got home. Yay?
It’s up for me, mama. I’ve been blogging all night long on there!
I moved it late last night in anticipation of the traffic. I’ve been trying to move other accounts, but I can’t even get to the control panel anymore; not even after a reboot! Oy.
