Server is back up! What was the issue Dustin?
It's back because the stock is gone :P
Probably just WHMCS issues
Yep, it back up, but i seen checkout page with error and after refresh it already sold out.
I don't think so. I'm not 100% sure, but WHMCS is a software, not a web host, so unless there was a script that said for the website to go down at 21:14, it was a server issue
not going to buy anymore, goood night.
What! Are there even 80 people on this forum right now? How did 80 people already buy it when the server is down. I have a hard time believing 80 people bought that server, while the website was down
Looks like this deal was particularly super popular. This deal was also shared outside of LET, and we received enormous amounts of traffic for it, aside from the heavy traffic we're already seeing due to our Black Friday event.
The site was not actually down due to any issue, but rather just an overload of users trying to order at the same time. Just had to refresh a few times to get in. Some were lucky enough to get the deal. Lots of people trying to order at the same time. At the moment I am writing this, we have 654 visitors on our website according to tawk.to, and this number was higher during the minute we first launched the flash sale. A good majority of those visitors were in our order form (WHMCS) thus consuming resources simultaneously on both MySQL and the webserver.
We upgraded resources yesterday to help accommodate our flash sales (surge of simultaneous traffic) but this particular flash sale was exceedingly popular.
They are all gone now.
Selected payment method, hit "Complete Order" ... cart became empty (looks like all stock gone)
Great offer though!
Wow! Congrats on the heavy workload Dustin! That's good and bad news at the same time. We all love seeing you grow.
Server temporarily going down due to overwhelming number of sales is a salesman’s dream. @dustinc must be partying right now. #RackNerdGang
