The "guest" links don't work.
Can you clarify which one you mean?

Matt, your site is crawling :( Perhaps you're getting to many HITs :)
Nice pun! I've been very happy with Dreamhost, but the shared hosting does present problems when there is a lot of traffic. It's a good problem to be having...

Provided that you do something about the problem before your users become irritated at the response times...

On a different note, I'd prefer it if Twitter names weren't mixed in with domains in the default view - perhaps it's just me, but my first priority when browsing domainpigeon is finding domains. The fact the site can be incredibly slow makes this worse, as switching to 'domains only' can be painful.

I agree with the others - please look into fixing this. A Linode VPS is great at $20 a month, many others here will vouch for Slicehost. I like the idea of domainpigeon, but on the three times I've visited and tried to use it I've had an awful experience. Soon after I start to navigate the site, I find it becomes too slow to be usable. On a different note, I'd prefer it if Twitter names weren't mixed in with domains…
How many people trust their credit card information to a site with slow response times.
Finally I would say that your response to the slow site was rather disconcerting as well. You seem optimistic, like it's no big deal-- When users are having trouble using your product you need to sound concerned and proactive, not lazy and optimistic.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the costs for the Amazon assignment were over 100$ for 4 people ranking pronounciability for 2 minutes each (On average). Meaning over 25$ for a 2 minutes (Lousy?) job...
The 4 multiplier comes because as you said, each individual task is fairly unreliable for quality. He's testing each individual domain name across 4 people (not the same 4 people each time).

For me, I tried to follow the link for domain names sorted by pronouncability and they did not work. I assume this is what OP meant. ------------------- link href: http://www.domainpigeon.com/domains?length=6&sort_by=pro... error: Oops!

I have to say that if this weren't HN, your site was posted, and it timed out, I would never come back again. I mean no disrespect; I really like your idea, but going to a site these days and timing out makes the company look like it runs out of a cardboard box with a 2400 baud modem.

It is a big deal--half the posts in this thread are about how slow the site is. Even now when I load the home page it occasionally says page not found. I'm losing visitors and missing out on potential customers.
99% of the time Dreamhost is fantastic as the site doesn't receive enough traffic to be a problem. Unfortunately, its the 1% that's the most important and we're seeing the results of that right now.
