Unfortunatyly our database we restored yesterday was corrupt, so we have had to restore our old database which is only one day old however we have lost quite a few new posts and threads especially the subdomain thread I posted in the news section. But heck, let's not think of this as a bad thing. :D

... Let's get the posting up to the level we had yesterday! :)

NEWS:

(We had a severe amount of time which our forum was not up, however all accounts on the free and variable server have been consistently up throughout the whole procedure of the MySQL going corrupt)

We apologize for the amount of time in which the forums were down however we hope this doesn't affect anyone from posting on the forums as we always welcome posts on the forums. We are looking into backing up our forum database, by the hour everyday.

Website downtime (Just vlexo.com, free users were not affected) NOTICE!

We fully understand and know that our website/forum was down, in affect the database was not harmed in any way, we haven't received anything from our providers however we are still inquiring why this 3rd incident occurred. We are of course opening up our options into looking for new providers which will provide more redundancy for this type of failure. We are pretty upset over this incident and we have not taken it lightly. However if this seems to be a 1 off incident we'll stay with the current provider. - If this isn't case, we will have backups ready to move to new providers we have considered.

Thanks!

      No problem. I'm just happy things are backup, lost a few posts, but we have months and even years to regain them.

      Yeah this had nothing to do with any other accounts, which is why we always keep the forums + website seperate from where we host our free users! :) - Just incase your side does go down, you'll always have somewhere to look for support.

      What Jonathan said above is probably one of the best parts of Vlexo. No other free host compares to Vlexo!

      Okay, this isn't going to well is it? :D

      I'm hoping this is the last of the problems. Still awaiting a reply from my supplier to find out what has gone wrong.

      Oh, I know that ... I am still waiting for a reply on some other host to hear the reason for the recent downtime ... I hope you add fcgi soon so I can host all my projects with vlexo.net.

      It's already been added.

      As for your host, it might be down as The Planet (Who's the Worlds largest dedicated server provider, went down) around 9,000 dedicated server customers were affected. That could be the reason, look at the thread in 'Web Talk'. :)

      As far as I know it was a bit different ...

      Because their host psychz.net was up all time and in the recent news they said it was a hard drive issue which sounds reasonable to me. But it was not the first downtime so I started searching for a new host ... and you are the top one at the moment if you add fcgi :D

      The 'other host' told me that they had something go wrong with their main hard drive and lost everything from the past two months...My site there wasn't able to get restored, their uptime was terrible, and their customer service sucks so....here I am :D

      I'm sure we'll be able to provide you guy with a much better service than your last host, but it seems things are resolved, even though I haven't got a reply. Though they did say they were swamped with support emails and that they couldn't get back to us! - So we'll have to wait by tomorrow morning for an explanation. - I'm happy, it's only 1 days worth of downtime, lost some posts which I'm not happy about, but then there are people dieing out there which is incomparable, so I'm happy. Though where I don't mind downtime, I hate data loss. All I can say is that I'm slightly disappointed. However I'll bring this thread to a close and post an update when I receive a reply/newsletter from them - the new host sound like a nice bunch of people, thus why I'm staying with them momentarily. Like they 'it happens', just have to learn to live with it.

      Anyways I'll post an update when I an about this issue.

      Thanks! Closed.
