Unfortunately, the number of students polling the website for news means it can't cope with the traffic. I don't believe they can justify paying more for better web hosting, just to manage this once-a-year half hour event.
There are web hosting providers whose 18c/year hosting plans can't handle a few thousand requests to a static page over a period of maybe 15 minutes without falling over? The mind boggles. - Matt
