Happy Birthday Dailychex!

Today Dailychex is 1 year old. It has been 12 months of fruitful service since we opened the doors to a select few. We have gone a long way in such a short time.

When we started recording our rank last September 4, 2007 we ranked at 429,449th place according to Netcraft. During the following months we slipped to 441,572nd (November 2007) but then gradually moved up. Today Netcraft ranks us at 116,392nd place. Alexa gives Dailychex a traffic rank of 3,783,859th place. According to Alexa, we also rank 125,504th place in the Philippines and 211,174th place in United Kingdom for traffic. Quantcast ranked Dailychex initially at 8,900,982nd (January 2008). Today we are ranked at 2,704,190th place out of the 20,267,977 sites Quantast has on its records.

Since October 11,2007 up to this day, we had 12,797 visits (from 2,219 unique visitors; 5,334 unique IP addresses) and 561,156 page views. That's an average of 43.85 pages/visit. Our average time on site is 11 minutes and 25 seconds. Just this past month (April-May 2008) we have had 2,295 visits which came from 29 countries/territories, 105,363 page views (45.91 pages/visit) and an average of 11 minutes on site.

After 12 months since the first photo was uploaded, have now 29,952 photos on file (most of which are full resolution photos).

To give you an brief technical overview of our humble system, we are hosted on a relatively small dedicated server which has an uptime of 971 days (more than 2 ½ years). The server has a mere 256 megabytes of RAM (far too small for a Photo sharing site or sites with similar traffic ranks) and a total of 40 gigabytes of hard disk space with a 1.8GHz Pentium Celeron CPU. We are running on FreeBSD. Much of our front end applications were written in PHP and our backend applications written in C (we use fastCGI for serving photo images). We are using Apache for our webserver and PostgreSQL as our database backend. Amazon S3 stores most of our data.

This year we made plans for a major upgrade. We have already purchased a new server (waiting for delivery) and have started development of the new Dailychex engine. We'll be running off the new and exciting FreeBSD 7 operating system.

In behalf of the Dailychex webteam, I would like to thank you for your support! Happy chexing!
