The official website of KFC Pakistan, a fast-food chain with 68 outlets in 19 cities throughout Pakistan, today got suspended after it exceeded its bandwidth limit for the ongoing month.
Users opening KFCPakistan.com are greeted with a system message saying that server can’t show you website because the website owner has exceeded his/her bandwidth limit.
Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.
Its a shame that multinational companies like KFC go for a shared hosting plans with such limited resources just to save few bucks. And this is how such greed ends up with a suspended website just for exceeding bandwidth limit.
This is not the first time that KFC website was taken offline by its service provider. Previously, in July 2012 the website was taken down for similar reasons. It appears that fried chicken experts didn’t learn the lesson or probably they don’t care much for their online audience, despite the fact that they spend millions in online advertisements.
Thanks Raja Tahir Qaiser for tipping
cant they afford unlimited bandwidth package?
No one offers unlimited bandwidth they sell their services under FUP.
Loosers
(KFC Pak) go for cloud hosting…. it will be cheaper than dedicated
server option… You will be charged as per bandwidth used :)
This way you will save some of your bucks and also will not face that kind of shame again :)
What did they let loose?
But yes, a multi-billion dollar chain like KFC could go for dedicated or cloud hosting. Losers.
They should contact me. I have a solution for every hosting ;)
Thanks for information. “KFC Pakistan Website Gets Suspended Again for Exceeding Bandwidth Limits” is this news related to Pakistan Telecom or IT?? Am i reading it correct “ProPakistani – Pakistani Telecom and IT News”??

I never visited KFC website or restaurant
I never visited their website either but I visited their outlets a long time ago and since then I hate their food.
why? Food didn’t taste good or because of rates?
A bit of both.
What about Propakistani ? Which Hosting are they using? i am also looking for any good host
Use hostgator!
hahahhaha
aray bhai Mujay Bas Aik Family Deal Bhaj daina weekly aur website meray server per chala looo
Haha why can’t organization of this magnitude could get a dedicated hosting service. Nice @ ( It appears that fried chicken experts didn’t learn the lesson or probably they don’t care much for their online audience ) , I believe they must hire some IT experts too.
Have you tried their food lately? It’s not fit enough for dogs, yet their response to any complaints is a “shrug” at most. Any local option is way better than their items and they’re just selling because of their international name.
Shitty hosting is the least of their problems.
kya baat hai k f c ke hahaahhaaaa
kfc $ucks anyway
Very informative article. Thank you for sharing
5K/year can resolve this issue in minutes, i am sure the problem is due to non-sense web developer.
The same happened to Mc Donalds website 2-3 days ago. It too had the “Bandwidth Limit Exceeded” message.

‘One-dish’
weddings
While introducing the
Sindh Marriage Functions (Prohibition of Ostentatious Display and Wasteful Expenses) Bill, 2013 (the sixth
bill of this year), Farooqi said the assembly had previous passed a resolution
calling upon the government to take steps to ban wasteful expenses at wedding
ceremonies and enforce “one-dish meals”.
The legislation, she said, was
important as about 15 to 20 percent of
the population could not
afford unnecessary expenditures on holding marriage functions for their children
at all. “The issue has been getting severe with the passage of time owing to the
widening economic disparity in the society,” she claimed.
The bill, Farooqi
claimed, not only called for imposing one-dish meal system at weddings but also
restricting unnecessary display of wealth and social status through lavish
arrangements for hospitability,food and beverages for
guests.
“Islam also advocates
solemnising marriages with simplicity,” she said while clarifying
media reports that the dinner at her own engagement ceremony earlier this year
did not have 43 dishes on the menu.
Child marriages
The Child Marriage
Prohibition-2013 sparked a debate in the house as the Sindh Minister for Women
Development claimed that her department had already prepared a similar bill
after consulting woman parliamentarians, civil society,
scholars and minorities.
Rubina Sadaat Qaimkhani believed
Farooqi should have shared the draft of her bill with the department to include
the finer points of the private bill in the government bill.
She added that the bill
to ban pre-adulthood marriages of girls would be tabled in the assembly after
approval by the Sindh cabinet.
Dr Mandhro said the two drafts would
be clubbed together in a single bill so that legislation on this major societal
issue could be adopted in its best form.
Child marriage prevention, Farooqi
said, was important as it would amend the marriage laws after 84 years in order
to set 18 years as the minimum age for youngsters, especially girls, to get
married.
Must take action against these
laws.
