Ooops, small outage

I’m sure that either Mark or Stephen will do some stat porn for the last year, but one of the problems LibDemVoice is starting to experience is that we are just having too many visitors for our server to cope with.
Having crashed it earlier this week, I added WP Super Cache to the system, unfortunately this made it even worse (although this plugin is working fine on my own blog). Again the server crashed, so I downgraded to WP Cache, and the server went down once more.
After some kind chats with Adam at Dataflame we are back up and now using Hyper Cache.
For the time being it seems to be working, however if it goes down again we will need to look for alternate hosting solutions and the outage could be a bit longer.

    * would make suggestive jokes about it being entirely liberal to enjoy going down, but doesn’t want to break the server *

    I shall read on the feeds for a while and save your bandwidth, sweet.

    We are OK on bandwidth, it was just some scripts hogging the CPU.
    The two new plugins seems to be working (although comment counts may be out of sync in places), so hopefully it should be fine for you to visit.
