This plugin is great! Thanks much!
Whew! It’s refreshing to see that this is a WordPress Problem — I’m on Dreamhost– I was recently slashdotted like 52 days ago and put on a test server– my usage went back down, but on Friday I got linked by penny-arcade.com and was back up to about 20,000 extra unique people cruising in a day, and like 100,000 page views a day extra— I just got another warning from Dreamhost this morning, and immediately did some searches online and found this.
I’m going to try disabling pingbacks and installig the badbehaviour plugin as well. I have no doubt my usage will go back down, but still, this is worrysome to me since I run a daily webcomic and have paying users on there as well. I’m going to send an e-mail to my tech support folk and let them know all of this as well. Dreamhost has been nothing but good to me. We’re gonna have to figure out this WP problem though… kinda sucks, WP is an awesome tool, but it seems to be causing too many troubles for Dreamhost according to what’s written here.
