You may want to look at a dedicated server. They are really cheap (around $150/ mnth) and you probably would not have this problem. As far as downtime if you ever have to take a server down try to keep it under 24 hrs. I agree, in time everything should return to normal. Keep trying to get good themed in-links to your site as well, it may accelerate the traffic building process. H
As you all predicted, i am back... http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=pirate+proxies&btnG=Google+Search&meta= ...i just hope the traffic returns with it
Keep us posted. One of my site has been offline for 15 days, (because of my own stupidity), and I am curious how long traffic takes to return. FFMG
