Naughty Google has been breaking my websites this month.
AusPUG.Org just went down due to 90,000+ hits from GoogleBot in the one month!! It usually hits about once a day unless there’s lots of new info on the site. I had to up the bandwidth limit to re-enable the site.
BangRocks.com went down earlier this month due to Google Images bot hitting the site 2,500+ times to steal my images.
Both times they transferred nearly 800Mb EACH SITE! That’s over half the monthly limit for the domains. Bloody Google!
The stupid thing is, if one of my domains exceeds the bandwidth I cannot log onto the site to increase the limit cos the Webhost automatically blocks ANY access to the site.. including the site admin tools. Lucky I can log onto another of my domains and switch sites to administrate! When BR went down I had to log onto AusPUG’s WHM. Tonight since AusPUG was down I had to log onto BR’s one. *sigh* Not clever!
