WTF is an internet hiccup?? Can someone please explain this to me?
 

All of my sites are offline and I've been told by support that they are actually live but "the internet is experiencing a hiccup right now, causing you not to be able to view them"


WTF is that???

Someone please explain :helpme

Ivy

most likely a overloaded router resulting in packetloss

ok but you have to be naked because it's very complicated stuff.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Translation: Our servers are all down and our support guy is away for the long weekend.

If there is anything that turns me into the bitch from hell, it's definately downtime.

Just added 10 new FHG's for partners to my site this week and 5 to all the others :(

Ivy

does it count if I'm wearing a T shirt and nothing underneath ? :Graucho

Ivy

Oh, and I'd post a pic but I'm afraid it would be a red X :helpme

Ivy

pics? server looks up now

It means Alien's or rather some unknown causes have taken control of the system. The disorientation you are experiencing is actually quite normal.

You are not loosing money, this is part of the "Risk" on the internet! Please do not file suit or claim to business damages!

Do not be alarmed everything is fine and "undercontrol".:1orglaugh

wow....looks like someone gave the internet a TALL Glass of Water :1orglaugh

Ivy

Can anyone else access your sites? I've had it before where I couldn't but I got someone else to try it out and they saw it up and running no problem.
What an internet hiccup is though? Never heard of it. Maybe the server guy quit and they are putting people off as long as possible???????

LMFAO good one

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

Damn...calling my bluff!!
Yea, they are back online now ...WOOHOO

Ivy

heh... :thumbsup

Could be lightning or a tornado or something struck a node close to you, or the host just doesn't have their act together.

I suggest Phatservers.net :)

I finally got a more educated guess from my favorite tech :winkwink: and they got it all fixed.....

I run all my sites on a dedicated server with Webair and this is the very first time I've ever had them go down ....they were on it and fixed immediately , so they still rock my world :thumbsup

Ivy

Good to hear you got it worked out :) These things always happen over holidays, don't they?

:(

Really....... Ok, dumb question now ....What holiday is it ? LOL

Ivy

victoria day

internet hiccups? .....victoria day ? ....I'm lost :(

Ivy

My bad, it'snot your holiday yet. That's next week. Sorry!

Like Whoa! :glugglug

LOL.....it's alright...I was just racking my brain trying to figure out what holiday it was :winkwink:

Ivy

LOL :1orglaugh

:glugglug

Sounds like they gave you an explaination that they would give a non technical person.
Most likely a main router is out somewhere.

At least its working now. :winkwink:

:( :mad:

server is back down again

Ivy:mad:

Try holding your breath.

You're site is coming up fine here :)

well, they are all back up for me again now too :) There's some kind of problem they are working on so I hope it stays up :winkwink:

Ivy

it is the technical term for "I don't know what's wrong, hopefully it will fix itself soon."

It's always nice whenthe probs get fix'd:thumbsup

its the Queens birthday i think....
we get 4 days off for that one.
