| 16-Apr-09 12:20pm | A much more intelligent look at powering down servers than was listed in the power myths article. Asserting that it's a myth that customers will abandon an overloaded website is ridiculous. Even if they wouldn't mind waiting for however long it would take to rectify the issue, many *will* assume that the people running the website are unprofessional and unprepared for their customers. Not only will this piss them off, it will completely kill their confidence in your ability to properly run an online business (If they can't even handle the amount of traffic they get, how are they handling their *security*?). The credit card gets put away, they keep surfing. From Powering down servers is a calculated risk |
| 16-Apr-09 11:59am | "For a Web site, put up a static page asking users to wait while additional resources are brought online"... You state it's a myth that customers will go elsewhere. Anyone that's run a large website knows that not only will they go elsewhere, customers will view your business as being incompetent and unprofessional. Were you just making assumptions, or do you actually have some data that backs these statements up? From 10 power-saving myths debunked |
