*** Update 2 ***
****************************************


Well, we're back online. The machines running Shadowlord Inc are patched and back online. I talked to the admin and he put back the things up. There's still a few things to fix. However, I think I found out one of the problem with the machine failing to reboot and I'm passing the information along to the admin.

I'll check about the other furvect site. [link] and the furvect.com sites are running on different servers. So fixing mine didn't fix the others for the moment.

So, everyone having a site on furvect, send me a note / email / Instant Message about it to me or the admin, to see about moving your site from the old, unstable server, to the new one.

Well, I was giving time a chance, but I guess 1 week is enough waiting.

Here's an update about the site downtime.

About 2 weeks ago, a power down hit the collocation server that hosted the server we're using.
While the machine is OK, the small downtime this caused some of the servers setup bug to surface.
The person who owned the server took noticed and said he would fix it.

Since then, there has been some instability. Out of the 4 machines used (DB, Web, Storage, Account), one of them keep resetting at each reboot, breaking the whole setup until the admin would manually patch it. That it, until the next reboot, where everything would have to be done again.
This impacted not only my site, but also ALL of Furvect site, as I'm still hosted there, except on the new machine. However, since my DNS was duplicated, my website was still accessible while all of Furvect sites (Foxx, Doc's lab, etc) weren't.

Those Furvect sites were to be migrated to the new servers, but some of the owner are either not responding or never left any contact info.

The main problem now is, I'm without word from the administrator of Furvect. Last time I talked to him, he was saying he was "boarding" and would check the site later on. Some hours later, everything went down and I couldn't even contact any of the machines. That has been a week ago...
Now, I dunno if the "boarding" meant he was going on vacation, was leaving the country due to Visa issue problem or simply was going out due to his work, but I've been left in the black as what is happening. Is everything fine? Has something happened? I dunno, and it is stressing me as much as everyone who can't access any of their sites.

Hopefully, things are just ok and I should get news this week-end. If not, I fear things will be complicated in order to find a replacement host.

And before anyone start sending links of cheap hosting services, remember that this is a video sites, featuring an arts gallery and offering an indexing of all the clips.
A 30GB storage with MySql, PHP and 300GB bandwidth per month won't cut it.


And now you know why Shadowlord and Dragoniade Inc, along with all Furvect site, are down.
