It isn't Android, but they are on the case getting it ported.
what websites are you looking at?
Cannot name them due to rules.
yeah I've seen that, $75 works out about 50 quid if it's true
Refreshing what site?
Then to be quite blunt, you have a very rosy view of HUKD - I think here we are far more likly to look after our own than make a short-term profit, but I agree not everyone will be like that. I couldnt say the same for HUKD though...

Like I say, I don't know it at all and haven't been on their threads today. They may well be far worse as you say.
Buffing up the server a bit? So they don't fail like the others?
Perhaps they are trying to prepare for the huge influx of traffic?
Companies don't have servers lying around gathering dust just on the off chance it gets busy one night. You load balance them all of the time.
Pretty much but theres also a bit of testing to make sure it goes live properly - lets just say Ive done my fair few tariff changes - my biggest error was not putting a negate for a discount so when it was applied it was charging customers instead of discounting them. Thankfully only 10,000 customers were affected by time we noticed (literally hours later)

We can take servers in and out of load balancing while our platform is up, and isolate testing. If we can do it you would hope the places in charge of these can.
