Monastery Hosting

[ivor]

Hi All,

Sometime soon, probably this weekend or sooner, the Monastery will go back up at DreamHost temporarily.  The Monastery will probably be a little flaky until the DNS settles down.  It will probably be a little slow too.  I expect the Monastery will be back up on the server in a month or so.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
MB

No sweat dude, it'll all settle down in due course.  We'll manage!

You know, I've finally figured out I'ze not smrt enuff to unnerstand how hosting works, so I'll just say OKIE DOKIE and smile...

[Opsa]

I'll smile with Chatty.

This is brilliant news. Re-experiencing Dreamhost will emphasise just how wonderful the MB hosting package is !!

The Hermitage has been kicked off its hosting server for a while now - no reason, just incompetence. They have been demanding proof of purchase (of the hosting package) and despite having sent it (goodness knows why they need it - it has two years still to run) they haven't responded by restoring service. I will bleat at them again. Just another item in the long list of modern life events that make me feel global meltdown is inevitable.

In other words, the Hermitage may be unavailable at present, which may discombobulate during this hiccup. Apologies.

Ah, thank you. I tried to look in there the other day. We may need it.

FYI: We also have the never-used emergency dinghy known as The Toadfish Monastery Satellite Site at Yahoo.com

You may wish to bookmark it in case we have technical difficulties in the coming days:

BTW MB how much traffic are we handling right now? I have a Win64 box plugged to a fat pipe, but by not being server SW I'm limited on the number of concurrent connections.

I'd have to check but it's a lot.  With all the search engines and all it's huge.

What Chatty said-- I know the server at work is in a closet down the hall- that's all I know on the subject.

However I do like the way sibling Zono talks about it. 

[Opsa]

Plus, he has that cute bird.

Hi,

I am going to be putting the Monastery back on DreamHost today.  I'll be putting the Forum in maintenance mode soon.

Thanks,
MB

Looks like everything is good.  Anybody see anything wrong?
