AshwinR.com was down in parts in period for 13 hours or so. A lot of interesting things on and off this blog.
The following was the message posted in my blog:
This Account Has Been Suspended
Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.
Why did that happen?
Their was sudden spike in traffic. It was down because my blog was using lot of server resource. It got the server down. The traffic was so much that if they didn’t suspend this blog, other sites will be down.
That was the day when I was linked by Yahoo!
This was the cause of this: How can I watch live World Cup Cricket for free on my PC from Sydney? - Yahoo Answers. Not only that it was linked. The answer was voted as the best answer by the author!

The day this blog was updated to the latest version of Wordpress, Theme and Plugins
Thanks to Harsh, I was able to update of the latest versions of Wordpress. I was deleted some plugins some of which I didn’t need, didn’t use and some Deep asked to delete. I also update his theme to the latest release. I’m going to change this theme within 5 weeks for sure to change to a better theme.
I was in touch with Deep throughout that period. He was the one who assisted me as what I need to do to get back the site back in action. This blog is hosted with him. I’ve also upgraded the web space.
When Deep and myself was chatting, he was asking the things about this blog. Then I mentioned that I use Statscounter, 103 Bees, Google Analytics, MyBloglog and BAStats. He was so shocked. He remarked: “Man, seriously what do you do with your blog? You have a high traffic blog and don’t know basic things? I’ve never been so frustrated as this time.” 
That was the day when my AdSense earnings was the highest ever…
