There was a little bit of downtime (15 - 30 minutes) on Tuesday towards the end of the Palace game.
We seemed to get a shed load of people trying to get on the site and it happened to be the same time that backups on the server that hosts the site were running so it gave the server a good hammering and caused some "Database Errors".
To stop it happening again I have just ordered a higher end server to host the site to ensure it can cope with the very maximum of traffic that might happen if we were to sign somebody new or win a game! :facepalm:
It might mean a bit of down time (time and date will be confirmed, but I will do it late at night so it won't affect many people) while it moves over to the new server but then it should hopefully be a bit faster as well as some planned maintenance I have to optimise the site a bit more to make load times faster.
All I can do is apologise for the inconvenience and hopefully it won't happen again!
