Two of my dearest friends Dave Jakowenko and Bryan Le recently got there entreprenuer gear in drive and started a new website to help all those people that need help surviving digg’s bandwidth hogging traffic bursts. Has any of your websites gotten dugg before? It only has happen to me once, it was a story on Buzz Bums, the site got 2500 diggs in a few days, sending like 15,000 people over to my servers. Im not sure how much bandwidth the site used that day, but I do know that if I had a regular shared hosting account, It would have used up all my bandwidth for that month. Well Survive Digg is here to help!

I would like to let everyone know that I am NOT getting paid for this! I do not support ReviewMe and Payperpost. I’m simply just telling everyone about Dave and Bryan new start-up Survive Digg!

This site is brilliant! They help people survive digg, and make money too! Props to them for this idea, I expect too never again see a site go down because of digg.com.

Don’t take our word for it. See what other people are saying
I think Survive Digg is a fantastic idea. When I launched Net Business Blog Digg sent me the majority of my traffic. I loved the free promotion, but unforunately this was a double-edged sword. The weekly Diggs my site was getting kept my server in a constant state of lag and often crashed it completely. If only Survive Digg existed then….- Matt Coddington, Net Business BlogSurviveDigg is one of the best ideas I’ve seen come out of the hosting industry in 10 years. The idea is so simple, but so unique. I know for a fact the Brius network backing this project up is one of the underrated hosts that lots of people use, but don’t talk about enough. I will bet that more copycat services spawn off of this idea too. It’s about damn time someone made a solution to assist bloggers and forum owners with something to help them, literally, survive the tsunami of Digg traffic that will usually bring a server down to it’s knees in a matter of minutes. Not only is the idea great, but the price is just as amazing. You guys are doing what the hosting industry needs. None of that overselling. Just delivering something great for a price that even the shoestring budget bloggers can afford. You guys get my vote for damn sure!- Jon, AO Jon / Wicked Fire

With the majority of good articles getting dugg on most webmaster blogs, it’s hard to find a server that can handle all of the traffic from diggs coming in. That’s why I think Survive Digg is a GREAT idea, and will be extremely beneficial to any blogger that experiences, or plans to experience a lot of digg traffic coming in. It’s comforting to know that there’s a service out there that I can trust not go down under heavy digg traffic.

I have been front page Digg about 4 or 5 times. A Slashdotting and a few del.icio.us’s too. My server held out for the first and second digg, then folded the 3rd and 4th after a savage beating. The 5th survived most likely because I installed WP-Cache to cache my blog pages. A front page Digg can be vicious so this service would be interesting to people on shared servers.

Hey Jon:

No reason to keyword stuff Survive Digg so much! *L* Unless you’re trying to outrank them with this post. More likely you’re trying to point a few good links to get them up in the SERP’s. But seriously, you don’t need to (Survive Digg) repeat that so many times.
Survive Digg.

I wonder what type of hardware they are running? Hardcore servers, load distributing etc..

When they start a website about preventing the digg effects, you know digg is hot!! I need a digg story bad. I would love to see how my servers handle the traffic. If it doesn’t handle it, then time to find a new host.

Sounds pretty promising. Take peoples vulnerabilities and turn it into money :D. That is what people do in todays world. Why not turn it into a business on the internet world. Sounds like a good plan.
