Sorry about that. At least the error message was a little less scary this time. The problem was what it implied, my blog using too many resources. Had to upgrade to a more robust (and expensive) hosting plan. Not really happy about that, but what can ya do? Hopefully it’ll mean performance improves a little bit as a bonus. Didn’t get the most expensive plan though, so I still have to be a little careful. As such the recent changes (like 5 posts per page) will have to stay I suppose. We’ll see how it goes.

“Heavy cash” might be putting it a bit strong. It’s gonna be $25 a month (maybe a bit less if I switch to a yearly plan). That’s still an amount I feel OK spending on a hobby, but it’s up significantly from the single-digit price I was paying before.
I appreciate the thought on donations, but there are a few reasons I’m a little reluctant to do that. One being that all the major money transmittal services are kinda slimy in my opinion, that includes Patreon and Paypal. Another is that if I were to get into copyright trouble again (and it’s always a risk, because it’s really hard to know which pictures are officially OK to share) that could be viewed more harshly if it looked like I’m trying to make money on this.
Ideally it would be great if people could chip in to help cover hosting, but I can’t think of a way to make that possible that I’d feel comfortable with at the moment.
I guess if someone really wanted to help they could contact me privately, that would solve the second problem at least. But to be clear, that’s not necessary by any means. I can afford it, I’m just grumbling about what is effectively a sudden price hike, at least from my perspective. Didn’t feel like I got as much warning this problem was coming as I should have.
Tweeted you, glad it wasn’t someone trying to take down the site. Sucks about the huge increase in charges.
I don’t really use Twitter, this is the kind of time I should have checked in though. Just didn’t think of it. FYI, the best alternate way to get in touch is probably the Discord channel, or email (hostx.me address, since the nudeworldorder.net one my also be down if the site is).
And as I explained in more detail above, the price isn’t really a big deal, it’s only a “huge” increase relative to the previous dirt cheap price.
Yeah, was definitely odd. I’m sorry to see this is costing you some heavy cash. Glad you are committed enough to the website to stick with it though. I was planning to do some submissions, but didn’t bother as a result of the site being down. I’ll try to get to that tomorrow.
