I can remember when I ran my site on my own linux server, it was absolute hell keeping things up.
I can remember having to write some shell scripts just to make certain things work, it sucked. It's helped me learn linux though, and I know more than the school techs about Windows too. Annoying but beneficial :dancingna
Anyway I hope things get better soon, when I first joined x10 everything just worked, my account was blazing fast, the forum members were friendly (they still are) and it was just the best host around. Then all the problems started to occur and the servers were down most of the time. Things are getting better now but there's still a lot of problems, cPanel's addon domain service is just completely fried on absolut, I'm waiting for Corey or somebody help on a post in level two support
here, apparently one of the Spanish users had the same problem....
But hey, x10'll work soon
