Updating or remaking either should make some difference if it is either. Though again having another machine would spread out the problem or identify if its hardware specific or otherwise. But if one has a problem, its likely another would not at that exact time, and thus something would be available and working. > > For E, it likely needs international coverage.

I was thinking more CDN for spreading out access to content.

I think some cloud providers would sponsor for the advertising aspect. I wish companies like Google would do more Cloud Hosting sponsorship than say GSoC. Seem a few GSoC go no where after the summer ended. Cloud services are pretty cheap, much cheaper than other forms. Few thousand or so would go a long way.
