You might have noticed that this site was down (i.e. kaput) for a brief time. You may have even wondered, "Is there something wrong with my computer or have invading aliens shut down the Internet?"

Most, if not all, web hosting plans have a file count limit. Depending on the host and the web plan (i.e. how much you pay), this limit can range up to 250,000(?) or so. This may sound high but if you're running various CMS, (e.g. blog software, forum software, etc), and many e-mail accounts, that file count can get eaten up within a few years.
