Profuse apologies for the outage today. Unfortunately, contrary to our own arrogance, our servers were unable to handle the traffic today, and repeatedly went out of service. All attempts to revive were futile. We were left with no alternative but to double the existing networking and computing hardware, to bring the servers up. All of this took 6 hours.
Once again, sorry about this. This was an unscheduled outage, and we shall investigate to make sure this does not happen again.

Thank you very much for your additional information on this topic. I am just enlightening the forum about the fact and not advocating Amazon.
thank you sir for rectifying the problem the new mobile version is good
Absolutely right - need to keep the hardware updated and have enough redundancy and spare capacity built in. I'm not recommending EC2 BTW, just mentioning it as an option that allows for very rapid scaling.
As another anonymous user has mentioned, EC2 might turn out expensive in the long term, and that's very likely the case. However the ability to turn on new instances automatically and in near-real time is pretty good too.
I would imagine you're currently running a virtualized environment with the ability to add new clones...
