[RESOLVED] Server reliability is a big issue for me

The server will be up and down until we can locate the exact account that is causing the server to have a high load.

When the server goes down - we know, when its up - we know. So there is no need to post things like 'My site is down now...' or 'now it's up again'.

The following quote is from a PM reply to me from Kay which she asked me to refer to the forums. So I hope this is the right place.

Hi Kay I was just in the process of typing up the following message to you -

OK Kay that seems to be it no problem.

I see you had set the php value max_upload_filesize to "3M" but you allow .htaccess to re-write that value so I reset it to "6M", so no problem.

php mail() function works fine that I can see.

Performance is good and I have set my mirror priorities for now with vlexo server as my number 2 server.

Now as for link back - take a look -
http://scot.vlexo.net
as you can see I am displaying your logo which links to your main site at the top of my webpages. Is that OK for you?

If you prefer a google ad then please let me know - you will also have to sign up for a google ad yourself - then either post the google ad code  in your forum.vlexo.com or PM them to me and I can design them in. The 234 x 60 google ad is the small one which would fit in easily.

It is a quiet site most of the time Kay - although I have 120MB uploaded - about half my quota of memory space, in terms of monthly memory bandwidth it will get nowhere near 6GB per month.

Some months I have seen more than 1GB bandwidth used but nowadays when I am sharing the bandwidth load between a few servers, even the 1GB limit is rarely passed by one server.

Any issues arise please let me know. Thanks again.
When I noticed that my site had gone down completely - and jeremyjohn's site had gone down to so it looked like a server problem.

Anyway server reliability is a BIG issue with me. It doesn't look good when the site goes down on the first day. :(

Please post any questions you have on the forum, it is a lot easier for me to manage as I get a lot of Private Messages each day and also it allows me to direct an Admin to your topic, so he can help you sort it out - if I am unable to. So just make your post on the forum and I will take a look at the problems you have.
So I while I was in the process of writing to the management here to find out exactly what they preferred with regard to link back or adverts on my site, the server went down.

It works like this
  • - you deliver a reliable service and I ask you what you would like in terms of adverts and so on. :)

  • - or you don't deliver a reliable service and I lose interest and I look for someone who can. :mad:
