Who Runs A Server? - GoFuckYourself.com

lil2rich4u2 · 05-24-2003, 11:19 AM

A Host ive been with for a while http://www.erotihost.com

The servers have been down for 2 days so i write into the help desk, and i get this:

Please refer to the global email that was sent out explaining the data center move. As of Friday @ 6pm servers are in transit to the new Tampa data center. They are scheduled to arrive with a no later than time of 9am saturday morning given by UPS.

The servers should be up within 1 hour of receipt.

Well now its near 2:30pm and still not up.

Is this common for hosts to do this? Wouldnt they have backu servers for times like this?

jesus fucking christ. use your brain. no, better yet: use common sense.

PowerCum · 05-24-2003, 11:33 AM

I run a host,
I have made my own linux distro to run it
I administrate it all, from the uplink line to the desktop stuff

My downtime is 0, so your problem is because of a lazy admin.
Get another hosting company and you are done

is there some hidden msg in that email that i cant see?

wtf?

I just want to know if hosts have to shut down all their clients when they want to move.

05-24-2003, 11:34 AM

sometimes I am wondering if you make an ass out of yourself on purpose (asking these stupid ass questions), or if it's just cover.

gothweb · 05-24-2003, 11:34 AM

I truly cannot imagine a host simply moving the servers like that. It's hilarious.

whats the problem?!?

Do i run a host?! How the fuck do i know how they do business?!

My only question was is it common to have to shut all clients sites down when you need to move!

Please stop, I can't take it anymore

Oh god...

cash69 · 05-24-2003, 11:38 AM

no it's not common.. but hopefully they are upgrading servers.. maybe you were on a t1 - t3 and they are upgrading to a t5 or something.. or just moving data centers.. hopefully not down grading

Ray@TastyDollars · 05-24-2003, 11:41 AM

I say again:

There would be NO MORE hosting treads if everyone hosted at Oxeo.com .

Get it?

my main host is isprime.com and i never have any downtime or other issues.

I only leave this one up because my dvd site is on there and would cost too much to move it to a new host since the scripts were designed for this one.

However now that i dont have processing for my dvd site ... maybe its time to dump the domain, i dunno

Pulling what your host did would put most adult hosts out of business. That sort of downtime is not acceptable under any circumstances. The only way I can concieve of excusing it is if some catastrophic natural disaster had befallen the data center. And even then I would have my shit back up in less than 24 hours.

There, I said it.

The Heron · 05-24-2003, 11:54 AM

It would seem to me in my vast wisdom that: YOUR HOST SUCKS.

Shutting down everyone's servers and then sending them via ups to a new data center just seems stupid and not very professional.

foreverjason · 05-24-2003, 11:58 AM

Its called rackshack fuck the other hosts!

Ever since I found out they host porn sites, im done with all the other shit.

Thanks Gutterboy,

Sheesh i know downtime is evil, but i didnt think 2 days is THAT bad ... its happened 3 other times for a total of about 12 days in the last 6 months or so with this host. I just never thought i had an option since it would cost me money to move my site.

Another reason i never switched is because i usually hit like 60gig-80gig per month, and they never charge me anything more than $8.95 per month. I think they dont know how to charge for overage, and my plan only includes 5gig per month, LOL!!!!

Oh well

Well, ill be doing some thinking if i really need that site up anymore ... dunno, maybe ill try to sell it again

lil2rich4u2 · 05-24-2003, 01:09 PM

perfect timing as well, drop my site in midst of a google update

wonder if i can sue

Moose · 05-24-2003, 01:11 PM

You pay $8.95 per month and your going to sue them?

i have 4 pages on that server that are #1 for certain keywords and bring a good amount of recurring sales to different sponsors.

With those pages down durring google update, im likely to lose my spot, AND my signups ...

You talk in circles.
You just said it was your dvd site hosted on thier servers. You have stated several times on this board that you have lost your ass and you are up to your ears in porno dvds. Now...what kind of losses can you prove?

what does my dvd sales and my sponsor sales have to do with one another?

if/when my pages lose their top spots, i lose about 40 recurring signups per month.

I can easily swap the domain to a new server, but then my dvd site hits the trash can since im not going to pay to have it re-setup

One has nothing to do with the other man.

I host with Verio, they moved some servers months ago, but from like Stockton, California to the Bay Area, San Jose I think, they most likly drove them over as it's like 75 to 100 miles. I got 3 or 4 emails reminding me about the move, they were down like 2 or 3 hours at the most. Why your hosting company used UPS, I don't know, I'd think Fedx unless they are to heavy. And did they try to save money with UPS and ship' em regular, 2nd day or Nextday.
Hell with UPS someone could have stole' em.

I don't know that much about servers but if it's there DNS (think this is right) server yes.

the fucked up part is that im not badmouthing them, im just going by what they said! He told me 9am, i didnt just make that number up!

Its one thing to have a situation and have to make me understand, but dont fucking lie and hope i will just go away and forget it

Number1Thumb · 05-24-2003, 06:45 PM

Thats fucked up, Isprime is 59 a month for 100gb and you know their reliability. Rock solid. Just dump that nonsense. Before they back charge you for all your overage they missed but have suddenly found.
