Why not reddit? I am not talking about r/startups or something like that, but the subreddit relative to your target audience and what your startup does.
The link is currently giving - "Error establishing a database connection"
The Post hit both reddit and HN homepage in matter of minute which brought the server down. Now it is up again.
Error establishing a database connection
That didn't take long. Site down.

OK, this is simple folks. Use a CDN. Always for static sites. Easiest thing to do is to adopt CloudFlare. Free. Hopeoing to never see the dreaded "Error establishing a database connection" again.

Sorry, the post also hit Reddit startups homepage at the same time and that is why the server crashed. I will install CF right now :)
