Title: Down time
Post by: madbean on March 13, 2013, 01:06:20 AM
The entire website went down due to an issue with the hosting. The site is now temporarily on a VPS plan, but I will most likely switch hosting companies here in a couple of days. This may result in a further spat of downtime, but probably not more than a few hours at most. I'll post more when I have something definite. I will be upgrading the service so that this will not happen again.

Yeh I had a Forbidden 403 error all day yesterday and couldn't get on this site. I thought it was my end and spent most of the day swearing at my computer until last night I got back on.

I must admit I felt a bit like a junky unable to get a fix...... But glad everything is up again!

I started using "Page Monitor" for Google Chrome and it notified me when the page content changed. But I felt like I was still checking it all day. lol

Yeah, I have not been able to resolve the email issue yet. I'm pretty miffed by it.

Also, there will be some additional down time on Friday night. I will be locking the forum in the evening to export the database to get ready for the move to the new host. I don't expect that the whole process will take more than a few hours.

Ah, ok - just checking you knew.

If it's a Linux server, I can try and help if that would be useful? - drop me a pm/email.

Thanks, I'm not going to bother since I will be switching the website over tomorrow. No point in investing time in it now when it will probably resolve itself tomorrow.
