It's back up again now, but that's the nature of a website hosted on a cable connection.

His website is hosted on a cable connection with 128k upstream, meaning that if two people access it at once you'll be getting modem speeds, any more than two and it'll be crawling.

Several other sites are also hosted on the same 128k connection, some random examples are:

http://www.kids-english-stuff.com/
http://orangeruffy.co.nz/
http://www.myetyme.co.nz/
http://www.pcs.co.nz/
http://bafonline.net.nz/
http://jnawk.net.nz/

The email for compudyne.co.nz is handled by (depending on the mood of your name server at the time) either:

mx.bafonline.net.nz
-or-
mx.compudyne.co.nz

The problem with that being that mx.compudyne.co.nz doesn't currently exist (at 5:11AM).

I don't have a problem with 'yet another' online parts store, but trying to promote a computer parts service to fairly 'IT Savvy' NZGamers when the site in question runs over a cable modem with about 14k/sec upstream and has broken MX records is a bad idea, I won't even mention the poor product range or bad website design.

I'll stick to buying parts from a retailer with a website hosted on something other than a cable modem that actually has more than 59 products available.

I just checked out: http://bafonline.net.nz/web.php which is hosted on the same slow cable connection, it lists their prices for hosting on their 128k upstream cable connection, my god, check this out:

BAF NZ Starter
Cost: $5 - Traffic: 10MB - Diskspace: 3MB

BAF NZ Professional
Cost: $10 - Traffic: 25MB - Diskspace: 10MB

BAF NZ Power
Cost: $15 - Traffic: 50MB - Diskspace: 25MB

BAF Starter
Cost: $30 - Traffic: 128MB - Diskspace: 55MB

BAF Professional
Cost: $55 - Traffic: 256MB - Diskspace: 110MB

BAF Power
Cost: $105 - Traffic: 512MB - Diskspace: 220MB

That's insane.

As I said, I'm steering well clear of compudyne, their whole setup disturbs me greatly.

[EDIT]
Hey cool, whoever the admin of the webserver is has decided that all the websites statistics should be publicly accessible, click HERE to see the stats for cyberdyne.co.nz, it seems that as well as being a slow connection it's a slow database server, so you may be have to wait while it loads completely.
