New Server Status Site

[Brandon]

Getting annoyed that the free server keeps going down, want to know if it is, but don't want to come to the forums, I have been working on this new site located here, I want some comments on it though.

How is the layout, fonts, and everything like that.

http://status.x10hosting.com/status.php

BTW - There are more features coming soon, so watch for a new post


BTW 2: It does take awhile to load since 33 ports need to be checked, so wait for it.

Excellent site Brandon!!
Maybe you should make subdomains:
free.status.x10hosting.com ---> for the free server
sustained.status.x10hosting.com ---> for the sustained server
paid.status.x10hosting.com ---> for the paid server
So that it takes less to load.

They have been made on the corrponding servers, I never did those scipts yet.

Some ideas:

* Cache it! No really, Cache it! But only 5 to 10 minutes.
* Do global stats (shows server and how many services are online) and under it server detailed stats (clicking on global stat will take to servers detailed stats). Something like fedlender said.

Pretty good in overall, but loading time...

Well i am going to optimize the script so it goes faster, an im hopting to do fedlerners idea by tommarrow night.

Idea - Change the hover link colour
Also change font to something like Arial or Verdana

 

[Brandon]

Done and done Zenax

 

[Zenax]

It was just a suggestion, perhaps it should hover to white, to make it stand out, and the font, I have never really been a fan of Times New Roman, hence why I suggested it!

The blinking Offline and Not Available text is a little annoying.

Very appreciated. Good work Brandon!
And if you want my opinion, try to make the site look nicer by adding graphical buttons and so on.

Not Avalable is there since I cant get to script to run on the sustained server.

and in v.2 of the script, there will be a user login script so that people see the services they want, the colors theme, and etc. via a page like http://cust.status.x10hosting.com/?memid=the member id and people can bookmark it to see only the services they want.

v.3 will have code were you can generate status information and paste it onto your website, almost all of it will be customizable, so wait to see the new features coming.

BTW for those of you that have this thery the sustained server dont exist, this is being hosted off it.
