I hope you don't lose any emails you'd be receiving, and that Host Gator restore your main domain ASAP. That’s terrible, Shaun.

I can understand them blocking my blog temporarily after the mass spike in traffic but there is no excuse for taking my main domain down, that is my business and it's costing me money every second it's down! I also can't excuse their lack of support. I've sent constant emails for the past 12 hours and received nothing back except automated responses and people insisting it's being looked at. I'm also without all of my email accounts which again effects my business, i'm just praying that once this is all sorted nothing is actually lost.

Who are you currently hosting with? Surprisingly, I'm still with the same web host, and have found them to be incredibly helpful through my online trials and tribulations. Hi Shaun,

Congrats on your Digg success (I think).

Who are you currently hosting with? Surprisingly, I’m still with the same web host, and have found them to be incredibly helpful through my online trials and tribulations.

Last I checked I had 500 Diggs and 6000 page views!! 30 mins later I have 800 Diggs but the server is crashed. My blog is down, my business website is down, all of my email is down. It's amazing how every one of your points above happened almost exactly the same to me. Except numbers 4 and 5. For number 5 I am considering a new host not a new career! I suffered exactly the same as above last night.

Still waiting for my t-shirt. Hopefully one day. ;) Neena,

The only one I would have an issue with is the t-shirt (or lack thereof). ;) Very funny – but I would take most of those problems in a heartbeat.

What a nerve wracking experience this has been. There are A LOT of haters out there. I think I need to toughen up, because I have been driven to eat quite a bit of ice cream today (not directly out of the carton, thank goodness- hah). Anyhow, thank you for writing this. It made me a feel a bit relieved to know that I am not the exception that proves the rule, but the rule that proves the exception.
