A Furious Citizens Blog » Site News http://furious-citizen.org Rants, Rambles and Commentary about Economics, Politics, Technology, Cincinnati, and The United States of America Sun, 25 Dec 2011 02:17:35 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Switching to Cloudflarehttp://furious-citizen.org/2011/02/switching-to-cloudflar/ http://furious-citizen.org/2011/02/switching-to-cloudflar/#comments Thu, 03 Feb 2011 08:41:52 +0000 lanec http://furious-citizen.org/?p=202 This site has never gone down from traffic thanks to WordPress and the excellent community behind the software.  When Furious Citizen was stumbled back in 2008 I wrote up a short blog entry that detailed the effort I went through to keep things online.  It’s now 2011 and things have changed since that time.

Today there is an amazing Authoritative DNS Service that will proxy all your sites traffic through their network of servers.  This type of network is typically referred to as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and it usually costs a great deal of money to utilize.  Cloudflare is unique because its a the first service of it’s kind to be offered for free.  Not only does this accelerate the site but it also protects the site from hackers and DDoS attacks.  It uses a real time blocklist to prevent spammers and bots from attacking the site.

This service has been powering Furious Citizen for the last six months, I haven’t had a single spam comment try to get through since then.  Cloudflare is Awesome!  It’s providing a CDN to deliver this sites content while protecting the site.

I’ve been so busy this weekend celebrating my Birthday (I turned 23 years old last week) that I didn’t check the server logs until this evening.   The Home Depot Joke hit it big on Friday and I have had 4,000 times normal traffic levels on here since.

Credit must be given to WordPress for an awesome publishing platform and for the Super-Cache plugin that is keeping this site from crashing under all the traffic.

My guess is that this surge in traffic won’t last more than another day or two but I will be sure to share some more jokes on here because of this.  How would you feel if I were to share a dirty joke every Friday to keep you people interested?  Leave a comment with your answer.

And to all you crawling the site, Thank You for Visiting!!

I am not a professional writer, I am a professional technician.  Please excuse my typographical errors and try to focus on the content instead.
