I'm currently getting the following error when I try to view your site:

  Over Quota

  This Google App Engine application is temporarily over its serving quota. Please try again later.

That can't be good for business.

View on HN

& it redirects to "http://www.zuupy.com/ if that helps.

edit: *Never mind, it was intentional per the message below to prevent indexing

Same "Over Quota" error.

Yeah, the redirect works, but when I get to zuppy.com I see that error.

That has been pretty common. We will start purchasing bandwidth. Even that takes some time.

And you wonder why people are going to your competitor?

Your level of comfort with this problem is the problem. You couldn't have looked less deserving for business. If I were your CEO somebody (or more) would be getting fired right now.

You're in B2B and you think marginal price point differences are stronger selling points than reliability/availability? You think another business would be willing to put their reputation on the line by white labeling through you while you can’t even keep a site up and it’s 2011?

I really miss the up-vote count here. As I wish mine would show. This is like having your hotel on fire, and wondering why guest are reluctant to book a room.
