Hello,


I am writing to inform you that I've had to throttle the amount of
traffic that '*****.com' can receive in order to preserve the
integrity of the webserver.


The amount of traffic that your website was receiving was causing the
Apache server to either slow down, hang, or crash depending on how many
hits it was receiving at that time. Throttling the number of connections
your website can receive is definitely the best option to still allow
your site to function as well as ensuring the integrity of our service.


If you believe your traffic has died down or you've identified and fixed
a problem causing the increased number of connections just write back and
let us know. We'll check it out and remove the throttle if everything
looks to be okay.


I also suggest possibly looking into hotlinking protection as it will
prevent domains you don't specifically allow access to from linking to
your images, files, etc... and may possibly reduce the amount of traffic
that your site receives. You can find more information about doing this
in the control panel here:
