Things we can't wait to tell you about...

Great news…and less great news


Lifehacker screenshot 300x196 Great news...and less great news

The Good: Otixo was featured on Lifehacker this week. The review was amazing and brought us a huge amount of new subscribers.

The Bad: The review was amazing and brought us a huge amount of new subscribers…which overwhelmed our little “startup” servers and had us licking our wounds for a few hours. But the Otixo Team has been working non-stop since the review to upgrade our system. We’re happy to say that we’re back up and much faster now (with further performance updates coming). But we’re really sorry that so many of you experienced our outtage and speed problems just when you were getting to know us. We’d love to invite you back to get a second first impression…

The Extra: As a small startup, we’d especially like to thank Melanie Pinola from Lifehacker for writing about us. The positive response has been incredible. Our servers might not love you, but we sure do. Read Melanie’s post on Lifehacker here.

Happy Otixoing,
The Otixo Team

    Seems app.otixo.com is totally down now… Are you upgrading things or are you still overloaded? I like being invited back to the fold, but perhaps the invitation was a tad early?

    Well, since you have informed us about the Lifehacker review, you could also reply about the several comments about your unjustified stifling bandiwth limit.
    I am a registered user but until the limit will remain so small I even will not take the trouble to configure my services.

    Same here about the limit – will keep an eye on the limit change otherwise it’s of no particular use.
