absolute down

[kuarkon]

hi...i have a free account on absolute server
for 3 days now i can`t view my site 3-5 times a day for about 30 minutes
why is that ?

 

[Starshine]

Server problems?
There have been threads made ( and various threads discussing ) about the various server issues that have been going on.

 

[lair360]

That is why I am sticking with a private server with a powerfull computer + my own hard drive.
However, I must pay for it every year. But, who cares....I can just sit back and leave without worrying!

And i have read the threads but i don`t think it is normal for my site to be down for 30 minutes or so for so many times in a day...since i have writed the first post my site have been down for another 3 times...

UUhhhmmm...I am not going further with the discussion of: "can i have my site on my hdd like you?" But, here is a hint...

Support them and be kind to them + do some donation!
After that, ask them about.............blah blah blah (End of speech).

I've set up my website before and hosted it from my home, so I can pretty much help you through that, though unless you have Fiber Optic/DOCSIS 3.0 Cable, it won't take much to hammer your connection. I can hammer just about any connection that I'm on within a heart beat.

Absolut is down, for no reason,
no updates in the forums too,
Absolut isn't mentioned at all!

I am on Absolute too, but this is first time I m facing such issue. It has affected a lot to me in terms of number of visitors in last few days.


I wish something is done soon to keep the servers stable.

there are some tutorials that i can read? in order to not ask you everything just what i don`t understand?

This is killing me! I've been told so many times that my site is down. Common x10, you can do better than this.

 

[lair360]

Well...not my problem and you guys should get a secondary DNS nameserver to keep it alive.
That is what I did!

P.S. Having a secondary DNS is like backing up X10 nameserver. So, when the original server is backup again, the second NS server can rest...

 

[kuarkon]

i pray every time i try to enter on my site to work
Can an admin tell us if there is a problem with absolute server?
If we know something is better then just pray to work and be online

 

[lair360]

Its their NS nameserver which is pushing you back!!

 

[xxll_martin_llxx]

So you're saying you have your files hosted twice and when one place isn't working the second place takes over?

If that's the case quite a good idea.


An admin isn't likely to reply here unfortunately. They're extremely busy behind the scenes.

Here you go, this should turn some info up.

Check out the LifeHacker article first. That should explain a bit. Don't forget, there is free software you can use such as Apache Web Server, PHP and MySQL that you can use, so no need to buy anything.

I agree, same here

 

[Monster12]

well I dont get enough time to keep a check of when its down, but i can see the effect in the number of hits my blog is recieving these days.

And my google account also displays sitemap errors due to site being down, too much these days.

First of all, what service company are you with and what type of DNS services are they providing??

You will need to explain this question before I can help you. Without it, I don't know where to assist...

 

[kuarkon]

here are the links for the providers that i`m registered
http://freedns.afraid.org/
http://www.opendns.com/
http://www.dnsexit.com/

they are providing static and dynamic dns, i have dynamic.
i don`t know who is the best...
can you tell me what i need to install to have the server on my pc?

Thanks for helping
