Since it appears you are hosting this website off your home ISP (TimeWarnerCable), it’s probably prudent of you to use a service like Cloudflare or Ipcapsula to prevent DDOS attacks against your home internet.

If this was a highly trafficked, revenue generating site, my answer might be different.

But for a blog like this, you’ll get increased performance through their free CDN, and DDOS prevention

But it’s free offering is significantky limited compared to cloudflare free offering.

Most of what I’ve heard about them is their willingness to host booter sites and similar. I don’t think I want to be mixed in that crowd.

All of these sites have major traffic

I don’t want to see any page of theirs, that tells me to enable JavaScript in order to access this page from my browser, with an advertisement link to their (Cloudflare’s) web site at the bottom, instead of a link to a complaint form about their apparent incompetence to handle legitimate users’s access attempts properly. And if a server is down, so be it. In that case, I don’t need Cloudflare to tell me it is.

It’s free. Take 1 minute to setup. Huge performance boost. Increased security.

Glad to see your site up again

Just a thought but your might want to look into using Cloudflare.com.

It’s free and provides CDN caching for when your site is down
