ccTLDs.com Victim Of Its Own Success Or Of Corner Cutting?

Popular domain forum ccTLDs.com is inaccessible this morning.

Any attempt to reach the site is met with the default Apache 509 error:

“The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later. “

Now the forum may have been popular, but I honestly don’t think it was that popular, so why on earth is it “out of bandwidth”?

Why is it even hosted on a server with a low bandwidth limit?

What about the paying sponsors and advertisers on ccTLDs.com?

Update: The site became accessible earlier today, though no explanation as to the issue has been posted on the forum (or if it was I can’t see it!)
