Another server, new presets

Since the beginning, Da Button Factory had been running on a single server. While there was no problem keeping up with the load, this situation was not so great regarding availability: if the server had an issue, dabuttonfactory.com could experience downtime; there was no redundancy.

To alleviate that risk, we have been testing serving dabuttonfactory.com using two computers, the original one located in France and a new server in north America.
So far so good after a few weeks of trial, so we made the switch today to fully run on this dual server, redundant architecture.

As a side-effect of this, our american users will experience reduced latency and higher speed. Our capacity also doubled; as a result, we raised some API limits :-)


And to celebrate all this, we added three button presents on the Examples page:

Hope you like them!

      There is no official affiliate button, but you can use one created on Da Button Factory with the caption text you’d prefer.

      Here are some suggestions:
