Comment on Cause of YC/HN outage discoveredparent

Comments

When I emailed Pair.com to tell them that my site was about to get a writeup in the Wall Street Journal, they moved my site to a dedicated server within an hour, left it there until the spike of traffic was over, then moved my site back to a shared server--all at no charge. If you use Pair.com properly, they are more than excellent.

They could have a small pool of servers where they could move problematic sites until the customer has had a warning and a fair chance to react to it.
