Phew, we've got through January.
The Self Assessment Tax deadline is 31 January. That means that we have a peak of visitors on our site in the days leading up to the end of the month. And we've had the odd problem with our server getting overloaded. We're improving our mechanisms for managing the load. We tell ourselves that it's a sign of the success of Property Hawk.
We're in good company - pretty much every website has had its moment of being overwhelmed. Our favourite story of the inauguration of Barack Obama was that so many American women wanted Michelle Obama's gloves that they crashed the maker's website. Poor old J.Crew.
Thankfully, Michelle Obama is not a landlord, or if she is she's one of the few that hasn't registered on Property Hawk. So we should be all right until next January.
