Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.



I am curious, what kind of provider is this and what kind of bandwidth limits could be burned through by a basic HTTPS website? I tried to do a reverse DNS but it only came up with a generic "com.remotehabits.in-addr.arpa"

I only ask this because even my very poor $2.50/mo server gets 500GB to 1TB of bandwidth allocated to it which is enough for millions of standard page loads.


Some whois sleuthing suggest a company called Conseev who operate a shared hosting service[1] with a 250MB bandwidth limit.

Is it not 250GB Data Transfer? That would be a lot more than 250MB. Still hard to guess how they would get over that limit.


Hah, yes, whoops. Hard to imagine blowing through 250GB of bandwidth via HN traffic in only a few hours.


Reason #2384 to keep your site lean...


Dang, hard to go far with that...


It's just a shared server, looks like I put too low of a bandwidth limit on it!


Rule #1 of remote work: never exceed your bandwidth.


Fixed, thanks for letting me know!
