    Would you be pissed if your site was down for 3 hours and...

    ...every time you contacted support you were told some bullshit excuse as to why the site is down?

    Just curious.

    Oh look at that, my sig banner isn't showing up, my server must still be "disk-checking" itself.

      thats shitty man.
      depends on how much you lose.
      I see the server is completely down now so only the hoster can fix it
      feel free to hit me up if you need help tho.

                Thanks man. Usually we don't have many problems, and anything that comes up is fixed in a reasonable amount of time. But tonight it's been hours and I have updates and shit to do and it is frustrating to hear excuses. i just want the nox up or a straight answer as to why it's down. Not too much to ask for what we're paying I think.

                    Webair, and again, there are usually no problems like this, but FFS if something is broke or needs replaced how hard is it to just say that instead of feeding me some line about something the server is doing to itself to make it go down.

                        Don't want to start a webair is good or bad. To each its own.
                        But some food for taught: every host its a good host when nothing happens.

                        3 hours its too much for a fsck, so theres definitely something wrong with it.
                        if it goes down and up, tell them to bring it up and shutdown all services
                        till they get it sorted.

                              talk to them to give you a straight answer.
                              if its going to take longer, at least switch dns to another ip, with a low ttl
                              and setup a temp page, at least you let your members know about the problems
                              and reduce the number of lost members.

                                Waiting for tech to respond now for another solution. I'll know the extent of pissed off members tomorrow when I get the e-mails from ccbill about people not able to login, etc.

                                                No backup, no ETA. Whole thing will have to be rebuilt I think, I am on standby.

                                                    Hey, shit does happen, and drives do die. Sorry to hear it happened to be yours this time.

                                                    But to answer the question, I hate down time and have owners phone numbers on my cell, and do not hesitate to use it after 5 minutes, no matter the time.

                                                          they must do the ocassional backup of your server, even one a week or two old would be better than nothing...

                                                            I thought the same thing, and I remember being told that dedicated boxes are on 24 hour backup, but apparently this summer sometime they went to paid backups, and I do not remember getting that memo.

                                                                                I've had to do that at work before.

                                                                                Good luck!

                                                                                          For the future i would consider RAID or even better to have a second server in place. Make a incremental backup to it couple of times daily set a low ttl for your dns entries and if something happens you can just switch to the backup server while the main one is being fixed.
