Over the next month we will be making some major changes to the free hosting side of things... Lotus, Stoli, Starka, and Chopin will be moving into a clustered setup like we have Boru, Cossacks, and Absolut. We will also be putting live the new version of our backend system that controls everything which includes a new account panel and easier sign-up process.
Because of all the changes there will be misc. problems most likely on Lotus, Stoli, Starka, and Chopin until everything is moved \ done. The new setup for these servers should be done in a week while we will continue to make changes to the servers for the next month. Because of all the work we're doing behind the scenes response times to free hosting support tickets will be delayed. If you need priority support I'll have to suggest you upgrade to premium hosting. Luckily we have a great group of volunteers that can handle the majority of your support requests.
You will most likely see things appearing and disappearing in your cPanel and we may have to restart the servers a few times. Overall there really shouldn't be any downtime. The changes we are putting in have been in the works for over a year and will greatly enhance the service we provide especially the new account panel. Thank you for your patience while we get everything sorted and I look forward to showing everyone the updates."
I have used both 'localhost' and ''mysql-stoli.x10hosting.com' with the following results on WordPress:
localhost:
Connection refused: mywebsite.pcriot.com:80
mysql-stoli.x10hosting.com:
Error establishing database connection
AND
Log File: States that something was compressed? (Don't know where this came from.) 1-24-2010
Everything was fine earlier this week. Maybe the switch over has affected things, I don't know?
