You get what you pay for...

There was an important primary election in Connecticut; the
incumbent's website went down right before the election and they
assumed they had been hacked by their foes and made a big stink about
it... But that doesn't seem to be what happened:

"I have the definitive answer as to why Lieberman's site went down.
They are paying $15/month for hosting at a place called MyHostCamp,
with a bandwidth limit of 10GB. MyHostCamp is currently down, along
with all their clients. Here's the deal -- you get what you pay for.
My hosting bill is now over $7K per month. A smaller site doesn't need
that much bandwidth, but if you're paying $15 because your $12 million
campaign is too freakin' cheap to pay for quality hosting, then don't
go blaming your opponent when your shitty service goes out."

Ooops! 8-)
