Oh my goodness, TSA's website is down! What happened?
Posted December 6, 2005
"What happened to the music & live acoustic videos?"
"Why isn't www.thesceneaesthetic.com loading anymore?"
Have no fear, it's only temporary. We're actively working on getting a new website up and running as soon as we possibly can. To make a long story short with all of the wonderful people who've taken the time to visit our site and watch the music video, we more or less ran out of space!
To put things in small perspective:
1. We had a hosting plan that gave us 500GB (that's 500,000 megabytes!) of bandwidth a month. for those that are unfamiliar with how much space that is, it's more than decent amount of bandwidth for a website that was as small as ours was.
2. On an average month we never came close to hitting that limit. Our site has been up and running since March with no major changes or additions. However, we were streaming our live acoustic videos and our Beauty in the Breakdown music video on our own site since the beginning. And lots of other people were promoting us on their sites by embedding the video to stream there as well.
3. Only five days into December we exceeded our bandwidth limit hitting over 750,000GB! That's insane. Really though, what that breaks down to is a lot of great people watching our videos and enjoying them on their personal pages. If you sit and think about it though, for only being five days into the month.. well that's pretty intense.
4. I checked our stats before we had to switch the site hosting and saw that we've had 6 million unique visitor hits to our website since March. Wow!
Needless to say, we're working with several companies right now to build The Scene Aesthetic a new site with lots of new goodies (merch store!!, official forums, more regular updates, and a sleek new TSA look). It'll take a while before that is up and running. Our official site is down for the time being. Which means people who were linked to banners, videos, and other things though our site will no longer work and be and running. We wish that you all could keep those things but for right now we can host that amount of information.
Feel free to continue to put up banners and use services like photobucket.com to still promote for us, we really appreciate everything that everyone has been doing as far as spreading the word goes. We can't believe the support that we're getting from everyone who enjoys our music. Thanks to everyone who takes time out of their day to send us an email, leave a comment, or just listen to a song.
