LOL - That's who I was with before this host... I left them due to the deal being better at this host and also everyone complaining about watmm's downtime when I was at xwebhost... Looks like I gotta sell a kid and get a dedicated server :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hm. how much you want for the kid? |
||||||||
|
|

also, can he clean canvas okay and drive horses? |

getting a dedicated server is not automagically equal to 100% uptime. on the contrary, you're getting more responsibility and "everything" depends on you. not only you have to rely on your webhosting company but also on your own machine which you're maintaining. however, once it's up and running it's a wonderful feeling, but when it's time to troubleshoot it's all up to you (unless you wanna pay THEIR technician to reboot the machine or similiar). backups are also usually out of the box, which are not the case on cohosted server. with all that in mind - good luck! |

"with all that in mind - good luck!" You just wanna get rid of us! |

Oh, I know - I've researched it quite a bit - my only stumbling block is learning RedHat and Apache - that, and the responsibility of maintaining the server. Cost is a big factor though, but I could get that to pay for itself over time... |

wouldnt it be easier and cheaper to just host it from home? how fast a connection are we talking? |

I'll give you credit for remembering as many people as you did Nacmat. /me gives credit, in the form of Star Trek credits |

Well, things are going from bad to worse - now it appears that the hosting company has closed shop - all the site data is backed up, but the messageboard might be 2 weeks or more behind as I didn't back up the db very often. So, for the time being, watmm is effectively dead until I can find a new host, transfer the domain name, and get everything uploaded and set up again. Excuse me while I go back to sobbing... |

Shit Joyrex, that's awful! May you return to net sooner rather than later... (...and take your looney bin with you.) :( |

I know... they're all disgracing me with their behaviour... |

"all" is such a .... strong word. how bout "most of them..." |

funny how it stopped right around the time he threatened to kline the board |
||||||||
|
|

i had a brief moment of insanity but that's about it... that's terrible news joyrex. I'll have a new (better paying) job in a few weeks... I'll definitely throw a few quid towards hosting as soon as i get my first paycheque. Shit, monthly pay is going to take some getting used to. I must say it's nice to see such civility in the latter bit of this thread! Long may it continue. |

Well, as the night wears on, things are getting better (sort of): I got news that a second hack attack occured that rendered the server unbootable, and data recovery wasn't possible. The hosting company is relaunching (hopefully by the end of the week), and are offering a free month to select individuals. I've asked if I'll get my old plan features with this new host (highly doubtful), but we'll see how it goes. I have found a new potential host that might work out, I'm doing background checks on it to see if it's the real deal or not. I may move watmm there instead, all depends on how things play out this week. The bad news is, since all the server data was lost, none of the messageboard threads are saved (probably a month back, but I have to check), so chances are I'll restart the board fresh (I needed to upgrade the board anyways, and this makes things easier overall). Everyone would have to re-register, but that will clear out the dead wood even further since the last member purge. watmm lives! |

I'm no internet wiz , and prolly speaking out my ass when I say this, but: Isn't it wizer to invest in an own server/router/hub whatever you call it instead of havin to be dependant on someone else? Sure it might be cheaper, but this is an ongoing problem good luck mr.rex |

Even though I have a high-bandwidth connection at home, watmm does waaay too much traffic for a cable connection (not to mention my ISP limits the upload speed), nor would my computer be powerful enough to serve that many page & DB requests. Thanks for the helpful thought though. |
