What are content delivery networks (CDNs)?

A CDN is a system of distributed servers that deliver webpages and other content to a user based on geographic locations of the user, the origin of the webpage and a content delivery server.
CDNs can also provide protection from DDoS attacks and security for your website as well as improving website performance and speed.

One CDN service that we recommend using is CloudFlare. You can sign up to CloudFlare athttps://www.cloudflare.com.
You can also try out other CDN services such as MaxCDN, EdgeCast, Amazon CloudFront CDN and more. Check to see which one fits the best for you.

Why should I validate the markup of my website?

The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Markup Validation Service lets you check your web documents for markup validity in HTML, XHTML, SMIL, MathML, etc.
To analyze your web documents, go to http://validator.w3.org/ and input the web address of the web document you want to validate. This service will let you know how many markup errors are on your website and how to fix them. If you can fix all the errors on your webpages, your page will be W3C validated and passed.

Validation helps future-proof your website making sure it will work on browsers for years to come. It also eases maintenance and teaches good practices. It is a sign of professionalism. Validation can be used to check whether the code of your website is clean work from a seasoned HTML author.

How come I can’t resume a campaign that reached its hits limit?

If the hits limit of a campaign has been reached, it will remain paused until you increase the hits limit and resume the campaign again. The hits limit is used to prevent the URL from receiving more hits than you want it to receive. You can change the hits limit anytime you like. Go to the URL campaign settings and increase the number under “Stop traffic after reaching a limit” or you can select “Send as much traffic as possible”.

Why can’t I sign up to 10KHits?

There could be a number of reasons why you are having difficulties signing up to 10KHits. Please make sure all the fields are filled in properly: e-mail address, display name and password.

If you are seeing an error message at the top of the page that says, “Your e-mail address is already in use.”, this means that you already have a 10KHits account that uses that e-mail address.

If you forgot your password for your account, you can request it at: http://10khits.com/reset-password

Or you can sign up using a different e-mail address.

Another reason you might be restricted from signing up is that your IP address has already been used on 3 other accounts. If this is the case, you’ll see an error message at the top of the page that says, “Your IP address has already been used on 3 other accounts.”

We currently allow only 3 accounts per IP address as a measure to prevent users from abusing/spamming our system. If you believe you have not signed up yet because you are using a shared public connection with multiple users, you can send an e-mail to: [email protected]m for further assistance.
