Addressing bandwidth issues
June 5, 2007 · Print This Article
During the month of June, I will be transferring this site to a new server that will be better able to handle the bandwidth issues I have been having. There may be frequent outages of Birding In Maine, but I ask that you please bear with me in this endeavor.
As many of you have noticed, during the last 3 days of May the site was not available due to reaching a bandwidth quota. When I first started this blog, I never dreamed that it would become so popular.
Here are some stats for the month of May:
- 139,527 hits
- Visitors from 33 different countries
- Searches in Google and Yahoo for relevant content coming in the top ten search results, frequently number 1 or 2
- 2959 new visitors bookmarking this site
- Bandwidth: 10 gb (that’s gigabytes)
As you can see, I need to expand so that our visitors can be assured of trouble free viewing of Birding In Maine.
Please bear with me as I begin to transfer my files to a new server. Any outages will be very brief, and I will continue to post articles. I will announce when the move is finished. The web site address will remain the same.
Thank you for your patience!
Happy birding!

Wow. That’s a lot of bandwidth.
John;
That is what happens when you have a lot of pictures!
I have a new host now and the transfer is just about complete. I think it is safe to say that 3 tb (terrabytes) of bandwidth per month should be plenty.
