Saru Posted January 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2004 It seems like forever since last Wednesday, but after over 4 days of downtime Unexplained Mysteries is finally back on-line again. Last Wednesday night at around 2am, our previous web host suddenly decided out of the blue that the site received 'excessive traffic' and terminated my account, without any warning. I then had to wait 10 hours for them to explain to me why they had taken the site down. Suffice to say i've had to look for hosting arrangements elsewhere. On the upside though, Unexplained Mysteries is now running on it's own dedicated server, the setting up and configuration of which has taken up most of the 4 days over which we have been offline. Now that the site has a server of it's own, things should run a lot quicker, and there is a lot of room for expansion, which wasn't available before. There are still a few teething problems to sort out here and there, but the site should be fully functional. Please report any errors or glitches that you find to me if you find them, and all that's really left for me to say is, Welcome back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schadeaux Posted January 25, 2004 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2004 This has really got to stop, SaRuMaN. I actually got stuff done at work last week. If anyone notices, they're gonna expect me to be productive all the time. Sheesh! Seriously though, SaRuMaN has once again shown his dedication to this site by going above and beyond to get the site back up in record time. Thanks, Dude!

Coconino_County Posted January 25, 2004 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Just out of curiousity, and you don't have to answer if it's too personal, but how do you pay for this? There are no ads anywhere on the site, and dedicated servers can be pretty expensive. Is this all from out of your pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya ...a dedicated server is always a good thing . Ive had some bad experiences with webhosts myself , they are a pretty rude bunch of people .... dont even bother to tell you somethings wrong and so they just randomly disconnect your website from their server .
