So, I've been contemplating posting this for a while now, but I know how tricky server managment can be and I read all the updates/upgrades news and such so I figured I'd give you time to sort things out. But after seeing nothing has changed after weeks have passed, I decided it's time to whine.
First off, let me say thank you for the great list of services you offer and for free at that! I've searched for a long time before I found you and this is the only free host I've found that offers everything I need. Now, if only it worked without problems.
I've an account on Stoli (account name mitamata). I'm generally a very patient person, but after all the slowness for the last few weeks (some 3 or 4 weeks now), I'm about ready to give up. I realise this is a free service and I appreciate everything the staff does, but the situation is unbearable.
My fiance and I are trying to develop a php game. For the last few weeks, the server has never been in a good enough shape for me to actually work on it. It's always so slow that I can't bare to test my code, I give up after 10 minutes - a simple php page currently takes more than 10 seconds to load. I use WinSCP to work on the files and it keeps losing the connection to the server, it never stays connected for more than 10 minutes. There's no problems with the code, everything works, but it takes forever to load.
I am fairly confident that my code is not the problem, I'm not doing anything demanding with it, it's just simple php with smarty templates. I'm also fairly confident that it's not my connection, because it's just as slow when I'm at home as it is when I'm at work. I'm also fairly confident it's not my location (I know some South Africans have been having issues), because it's just as slow for my fiance in Canada as it is for me in Slovenia. I guess it's possible it has something to do with the times I try to use the site, but that shouldn't be an issue, should it? Servers should function all day long.
So, I've two questions at the moment.
1.) Is this just our site? Surely it can't be. If there is ANYTHING I can do myself to fix things, please let me know.
2.) And if it's not just our site, I'd like to know is if I can look forward to any changes. I know this is a free service and I don't expect the quality one gets when actually paying, but I do expect a certain level of quality. Like not having to wait 10 seconds for a tiny little page to load. If this is as good as it gets, please let me know and I'll start looking for a new host. Not because I'm angry or ungreatful (seriously, awesome service lineup), but I literally can not work this way. I would hate to do that, because I think the service here (when working with normal speeds) is awesome and the staff are great. When I started out, I was going to develop the page on free hosting and then move to paid once more than two people actually used the site, but with the current situation I'm not sure if I'm confident enough to pay for hosting here.
Please put my mind at ease and tell me things will be working smoothly soon? :frown:
