Why is the Hong Kong Movie Database (HKMDB) down/offline a lot?

Hong Kong has notoriously crowded servers and bandwidth (what regulates the traffic on a web site) is extremely expensive. As the HKMDB is a non-profit site, sometimes the servers become overloaded and the site is forced to shut down. Sadly, every time this happens, there seems to be at least a couple of jerks who complain about this, not taking into account that the HKMDB is basically run by one guy who also has a day job.
