Sitemeter down

| 2 Comments

Sitemeter seems to be down. Apparently, not the first time, but first time I've noticed. Also, some people seem to think that sitemeter undercounts site traffic by 30-40%. Hmmmm. I haven't noticed that to be true, probably due to not counting myself as a 'visitor'

Though to be fair, they could be under a DoS attack by some script kiddies. Who knows.

update D. Smith of Sitemeter had some hosting issues on this day, and subsequently has started the process of moving to another server. I should be more clear: I've been happy with sitemeter, just was frustrated to lose a day's worth of data.

Sorry about that. The hosting center for Site Meter was having networking problems for about 12 hours and that was blocking access to the Site Meter servers located in their facility. I'm very disgusted with their support and have started moving the servers to a new hosting center that will be more reliable. It should be completed in the next week.

Thanks for the update David. I've not had problems with sitemeter before, so was surprised more than anything.
