Comment on General Election ITV1 Live TV Leaders Debate in Manchester by David.

You lot just took my dedicated server out!

Right after the leaders debate finished got a big traffic jump (this page is ranked well for TV debate searches in Google) and the software that runs the database (MYSQL server) couldn’t handle all the connections and so most visitors would have got a “Error establishing a database connection” instead of the site between 10:05pm-10:35pm!

Got a new server just a week ago with a faster CPU and double the memory as well, looks like I need to optimise the server better.
