Servers often down (!?)

[bikhir]

Hi,

I don't what's your experience btu I realise that the servers are often down. Does this happen only with the free services? I would like to share more on my site and to make some more communication around it. But I amd afraid of the idea of receiving replies like "your site does'nt work.

It would be great if the up-times would increase.

Cheer / Thanks

well in the past, the servers have been down simply because of error on the DC's side or just faulty supplies or something, but i think Corey was doing some minor changes, to verify that all of the current user's account are up, but anyway, it looks like HTTP is up again, so everything should probably be up sson i assume

Nope, http is still down for me too.

I am looking into this now

The only reason that theyre often down is because you just so happened to join at a time when they were upgrading/improving the servers and moving accounts which creates downtime. Maybe if you'd be a little patient, you'd get to experience the good uptime.

umm..notice he joined in April 2006, i don't think there were any major updates to the free server at that time, but obviously he's seen more than one time that they've been down, but in the past that has been because of faulty HDs and such, but i honestly don't know why it's down this time..:dunno: :nuts:

We try our hardest to keep the servers online all of the time. This however is a free service, (Unless you pay, but then you're on another server anyway), and people do abuse it.

The reason the server has been down the last week (May be a little longer than that now.. ) is because we transferred the free hosting server to a new, more powerful server.

If you check out the server alert\news forum you can see that a staff member, (Usually an administrator), posts whenever we have a planned downtime, or something goes wrong that needs to be looked into.

Starting within a day or so the server will quickly become more and more stable, with less downtime, as different things get configured and set up correctly on the new server. It's just about done now, but a few more minor things have the possiblity to come up randomly.

That's nice. But the majority of the time the problems with the server are due to upgrades and what not.

And even so, you get what you pay for. x10 is free and thus since you arent expending any real significant time/effort/work/money to benefit their hosting and servers, in reality they have the right to do whatever the heck they want with their servers. It's a free service, so take what they give.
