For how long?

For how long?

For about 5 minutes. Long enough to goof up my PM, and also Cougtek's.

Wow, sorry about that, I must have tripped over the power cord to the server and we were down for, oh umm a couple minutes! :twistd:

Burst reported a network problem, and it seemed to last a very long time. I noticed around 4:00PM EDS the site was very very slow and eventually none existent. What about everyone else?

I noticed a slowdown a few hours ago, but I have no idea how long it last. I was busy elsewhere.

When I came home tonight around 8:00 the site was so slow I didn't even manage to load an entire page. I tried again at quarter to ten (all times CDT) and everything was OK.

I also noticed the slowdown. It lasted at least an hour. To experiment, I tried loading www.burst.net and that page would not load either. During the downtime I did manage to load the front page and then later the forum front page. That's as far as I made it.

I just hit the very edge. I was busy doing some graphics when I attempted to come in. There were page loading issues for about 5 minutes and then all was resolved.

Same thing happened here...it took a few minutes to load the front page...I never finished a load of the forum. They had issues tongiht, and other people they resell to had issues.

I just noticed you said 4:00PM. I was having trouble between 9-10.

I thought we were switching from Burst anyway.

Hey, I never have picked up a hosting service. Still want a little reseller income?

I've been a little behind in that project and I was about to open it tonight, but my damn credit card web site was down (I create virtual credit cards for safety). Are you still looking for a place to host? Yes i was going to do reselling. (limited which I can define as special needs, friends, and family...and SF members if they want)

I just had a 3-4 minutes downtime 5 minutes ago. Now it's ok.
Mercutio
07-14-2002, 11:34 PM
Yeah. I was going to put up something on cheaphosting.com but the idiots there don't have ".us" on their dropdown for domain selection... there's a note to email sales if you want to host something other than .org, .net, .com... and their salesdroid mailed back "use the form", which of course hadn't changed.
And that's as far as I pursued it.

OK, I noticed a little issue when I tried to post a few minutes ago, I guess it wasn't me.

I'lll have to check on this one...I can't see why a .us wouldn't work at voxtreme, but let me be sure.

The site was down for hours today. From about 4 or 5 this afternoon until 10 tonight, CST.

I don't think I like Burst very much.

They seem to be living up to their name though. Maybe we should find someone named nodowntime.com or constant.com; burst, yeah, drives burst at 100MB per second too. :D

10-10:30 SF and www.burst.net down.

10-10:30 SF and www.burst.net down.

Thanks for the update. I've read last night that Burst has been hit by numerous DoS attacks, and people in the web hosting forum have been complaining. Seems as though they don't know how to manage the attacks.

A new P3 933 with 1GB ram is opening on Voxtreme, I think I am going to sign up tonight to get on it. My friends site hosted at vox has only been down once since April that I've noticed/ heard about. I've read that pair has some of the best uptime, but their methode of dealing with MySQL databases doesn't work for SF...oh well.

Dual P3 933 MHz for clarification.

The site seemed very slow for the last few minutes, and a minute ago I couldn't connect at all to the site.

Now it seems ok again.

Site was down again for five or ten minutes just now.

Either (a) no-one has posted for about twelve hours or else (b) the site has been down for quite a while. Anyone know which one?

I think no one has posted for a while because I was up really late last night and it wasn't down. The system stats says our server hasn't been down for 7 days. (Althought the network connection could have gone down)

I was on about 7 hours ago, just not much posting action.

A different one this morning. The site isn't down, but for the last half hour or so it has been really, really slow. Everywhere else on the web is normal.

Must be a Ballarat thing.

It's coming and going. Seems to be OK again now. But it was [i]way[]/i] slow for the past half hour, and everywhere else was OK. (Including several other US destinations.)

Tea, I think you have gone crazy...or maybe it's that new cable?
Tea
07-30-2002, 10:19 AM
No. Sorry Tim. Not crazy. Just posted in the wrong thread. Read the other one (just below this one at present) and you will see the method in my madness. I was going to post here to expain that apparent nonsense above but you were too quick for me. :)
timwhit
07-30-2002, 03:15 PM
OK Tannin isn't quite as crazy as I originally thought.

The site was just down for the last 3 minutes or so.

2:10PM - 2:13PM CST

We are still on burst. I have opened a reselling account and created a new home for StorageForum with another hosting company named voxtreme. I am currently developing the new site on their servers as we speak. My plan is to move the site and open the doors to the new site all in one shot!

I've been working on it for a little while now, and it's close to being ready. I will let everyone know when we are moving since I will have to lock the forum in effort to keeping all the posts. More details will come soon.
