POW! We Blew Up Our Server Yesterday (Should You Eat Sugar Article -- Now Available) Sent Wednesday, January 25, 2012
Subject: POW! We Blew Up Our Server Yesterday (Should You Eat Sugar Article -- Now Available)

I guess that's the sound a server would 
make when it's blowing up... LOL!

Yesterday, we switched servers to a
brand-spanking new machine.

I was thrilled to finally get all our
remaining data and information away from
the companies we were using before and to
put everything in one place.

What I wasn't aware of was that my sugar
article might generate a significant
amount of traffic to the site all at once.

After the newsletter came out, I went on
the site to read some of the comments and
it wouldn't load.  I tried again.  Nothing.  
I skyped Annmarie and she said it wasn't
loading either.  I called the hosting
company, they said it wasn't loading.

Not good.

Apparently, the thing blew up.  It just
stopped working.  There was too much
traffic.  Now, don't get me wrong here, we
don't have millions of people going to the
site, but we do send out our newsletter to
over 110,000 readers.

So, today, I've been on the phone working
with the new company to find a server that
will be able to handle our type of traffic...
apparently I got the wrong one.  It's
embarrassing, but it's better than it
happening during next year's 2012 Healing
Cancer World Summit, right?

Anyway, I have a few things for you today...
since I'm sure a bunch of you couldn't read
yesterday's article, I've switched my DNS
back to our old servers for the time being --
this simply means that the site will work
and you'll be able to read my article which
is a super-important one!

Also I want to share that even though the
main site was down the store was not and
we're already starting to run low on the
banana powder and flakes that we have back
in stock.

The first time we had these we blew through
stock so fast, we had to scramble to get
more.  This is already happening again.

These are flakes and the powder of
Ecuadorian red heirloom bananas.  What this
means is that they're more nutritious than
the hybridized, unripe bananas you find in
the store.

They're a great addition to smoothies,
treats or even just to dip a strawberry
into (try it, it's amazing.)

Right now, we have a special deal if you get
a two pack to try them -- you save $5.00.

You can find out more and check out all the
sizes here:

Finally, here is the article I wrote
yesterday about if you should eat sugar or
not. (Obviously, our daily special gives you
an idea about what I think about sugar! Or
at least sugar from fruit... LOL!)

Here's where you can read this (uninterrupted
this time) now...

I won't post a new article today, since I'll
be working to get these server issues
resolved!

Thanks so much for understanding -- I guess
servers crashing because of too much traffic
is a good thing... :-)

So thanks for caring enough about us to take
a look or read an article once in a while!

Live Awesome!
