When people use your companies’ products to market theirs, you know you’re in business. Digg has become a huge phenomenon to the point that hosting companies actually state in their marketing material that you won’t get burned if you get a “Digg Effect” while hosting with them.
MediaTemple on their Grid Service (MySQL Burst Container):
the SmartPool system recognizes sudden spikes in database traffic. This solution allows allows your databases to scale beyond the guaranteed SmartPool resources. This unique feature helps you survive temporary traffic bursts resulting from press releases, mass blog coverage, DIGG, etc.
SliceHost on their Bandwith:
Our bandwidth limits are soft caps. You’ll receive an email notification when a slice reaches 80% of its limit and again should it exceed the limit. If you trickle over because your site is Dugg or Slashdotted, congratulations! Send us a note with an explanation, we’re reasonable people.
The good thing about all this, is that consumers are the inevitable winners since they’ll much better hosting services(in theory) at better prices(hopefully).
