I sent an e-mail earlier to Annette at HostingMatters asking about upgrading my bandwidth to one of their more robust plans for a month, since the Nick Berg Google spike has me pushing my 13 gig monthly limit already.

(It’s like cell phone plans in that regard.)
I just received an e-mail from Stephanie at HostingMatters with an very nice message: “Don’t worry about the bandwidth this much. We’re not going to bill people this month for extra bandwidth caused by this issue.”
That’s quite a generous gesture on their part given that some sites have had nearly a year’s worth of their normal traffic today!
