Sometimes the site goes down?

Does anyone else ever experience this? My ISP tells me that buzztouch.com doesnt exist for about 3 minutes at a time... Server overload? or timeout?

You've mentioned this a few times (I think) and we've not heard it form anyone else recently. A few months back we had some trouble but not recently. 'doesn't exist' is different than site down (in our minds). Doesn't exist is usuall a DNS issue where a domain name cannot be resolved or something. Mabye try this: The next time you experience this...enter this IP address: 208.109.207.236 in your browser. Does it come up? This bypassed the DNS process and will help you / us try to figure out what your ISP (or our data center) is goofing on ;-)

Feeling flush today so my 2 cents into the fray. I have several personal apps live and a few others for other folks, 11,000 live approx of my own, many active users uploading pics, comments etc and have not had one complaint about not being 'there'. I play with my own daily, checking things out and even on 'Edge' connects every time. That's not to say you are not experiencing problems though. DNS is a strange beast, we used to run our DC on Windows DNS before we switched to infoblox and occasionally the round robin type setup would cause a wee issue or two cheekily pretending it wasnt there. Works for me!

lol no my friend Im not, I did some research on it and it could be because I run multiple computers at once.. 2 macs and 1 pc. From what I read some servers dont like when the same IP with sub Ips hits a page more than once. Probably like a self defense mech.

That would make sense in a sense. Expecting a man in the middle type thing.
