You're listening to the Oil and Gas This Week podcast with Mark LaCour and Jake Corley.

This is the show for busy oil pros who quickly want to keep their finger on the pulse of the industry.

Welcome back for another episode of the Oil and gas this week podcast. You're listening to episode

175. What's on, Mark? Jake, we broke the internet. We broke the internet. That's not good.

Well, at least we broke the WordPress engine part of the internet. So for an audience that's listening

out there, a WordPress engine is who our hosting is with. And Jake, we have had for a long

time the second most expensive hosting that they offer because the amount of traffic we generate.

Now, I want to talk through this with you because this is what's really cool. So only 1% at the most

of our podcast listeners take place online on the web on the websites. That's what WordPress engine hosts for us

is our websites. So we have generated so much traffic with all the shows that I have to now move

up to the highest final dedicated hosting because of the 1% of the traffic that we're driving

on the internet. And so I'm literally going from paying around 2K a year to,

we're going to paying about 10K a year because we need that dedicated bandwidth and hosting.

So for our audience out there, thank you. Thank you for the fact that you may just break

the WordPress engine internet and we have to upgrade. And what's amazing to me is almost all of

our traffic takes place on mobile. It doesn't actually touch the website. But yet that small 1% of traffic is now pushed us over the limit. Isn't that cool? That's insane. I mean, it really, really is. And with that comes all kinds of other stuff, security concerns and everything else. And we're dealing with it. We have our tech people dealing with it. And hats off to the people at WordPress Engine. We may end up trying to get them on the only gas tech show. They've been a, I don't want to say vendor, they've been a partner of ours for almost 10 years and they just really take great care of us. And yes, I'm giving them a shameless plug. I'm just, they do a really good job. So if you have a WordPress site and you have slow page loads or you have 404 error, I mean, 505 errors and stuff, check out WordPress engine. They're not the cheapest, but darn it, they're the best. Speaking of the best, the people that leave us reviews, the reviews are the best way to support the show in all seven of our oil gas podcast. Here's a good one from S. Fulero, a great informational podcast. As someone who writes about energy companies on seeking alpha, that's pretty cool.

I try to stay informed as much as possible on what is going on in the oil patch. The podcast offers a wealth of information with a great host to keep listeners informed. Best Stephen. Thanks, Stephen. If you want to be like Stephen, get a big shout out. You know what to do. We've said this a gazillion time. We'll leave it's review. Go do it. It takes three minutes.
