This happens once a month when the monthly quota for free hosting has 
reached its maximum.  Boost relies on free hosting of their cdn and so 
they are at a mercy of the hosting provider - IBM.

I think Google Firebase would be a better option because that is also 
free but I was told it is not an option because of the work involved to 
moving the repository on to Firebase.

Their supplier is SoftLayer - 
<https://www.ibm.com/uk-en/cloud/info/softlayer-is-now-ibm-cloud>. It 
used to be free at one time but they seem to have made it commercial.  I 
have still got an account with them but I rarely use it.
