Just wanted to throw a word out to those who attempted to join us for Live coverage of the Macworld Keynote, we’re unsure exactly what happened but you can be assured we will be investigation further.

As far as we can tell at this point, one minute all servers appeared fine, so we turned on the redirects and ran a few more tests, everything was good, around 2 hours before the Keynote was due to begin things started to slow down.

It was around 1 hour before the Keynote was due to begin that suddenly the Live server went down, we rebooted and it went down again, the final stats before the reboot for Apache were 8,000 unique accesses and 1.56m/bits of data within the last 59 seconds, that would have been around 1 hour before the Keynote.

At this point it looked fairly hopeless that the server would keep itself up, so in summary we don’t rate goddady.com dedicated hosting at the moment.
