Would that happen to be one of the free http://no.de instances? Which if I recall correctly come with 128mb ram on their custom solaris servers... I always wondered what kind of load those small configurations using NodeJS while handling something non-trivial could do.

Could you share some traffic/load numbers from getting HN'ed?

Hard to tell right now... I started at Joyent's smallest node.js offering (1GB) and then ramped it up to 8GB when the load hit. The server is crashing a lot, but it's not very easy for me to debug right now.

Let me get back to you once the dust settles, deal?

Wow must of took a real hammering from being on the number spot. Goodluck!
