HTTP 503, looks like cheapeats.ie has been slashdotted.

The cheapeats website seems to be hosted on a Raspberry Pi..

  Apologies for the outage, it’s hosted with Blacknight and I’m trying to get it sorted with them.

      I’m guessing they’ll suggest you get your own dedicated server, that will be the ‘solution’.

      Oh dear. Do you have any tips for good hosting that can cope with traffic? I’d really appreciate it, it would come in handy for a few different things.

      rackspace.

why do you keep linking to cheapeats. it never bloody works.

Nice way to totally devalue Fairtrade Coffee.

Up now. Not all shops were doing the promo. Thats the beef. Some people had to fork out a few Euros instead of a cent as they didnt check if promo was running before getting a coffee, goodness gracious.

Like they would check that after seeing ads for 1c coffee at Centra. I suppose they should have had a handy pocket size guide to the terms and conditions and an Excel file listing participating franchisees.

Too many CentraSpars.
