rower Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 When I try to access RepGeek it is showing that the account has been suspended buy the host. Does anyone have any news on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Just noticed that too! Message reads: "Account Suspended The account owner has been informed regarding this - in case of questions kindly open a support ticket via the control panel."

Victoria Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've got that message too. I'm interested to hear what happened. "Account Suspended" Was just about to post that, too. This looks serious. Like something to do with the illicitness of the hobby. Sylar is a member here so I hope he'll inform us. I love Repgeeks...

bazonkers Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Did you try to reload? It works randomly for me. I think their hosting company has a broken front end web server. I don't think the site is actually being suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 This is a real bummer if it is something serious. I enjoy the diversity of visiting more then one site even though I have made this my first home. I hope it is just a technical glitch and will be back up soon.

KB Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I am sure we will have an Admin member pop in shortly to explain what has happened so until then lets not assume the worse, these kind of things have been happening to all the boards at one time or another.

Sylar Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Sorry guys, some issues with capacity with the host. It should be back up in about 30 minutes. Edited January 29, 2008 by Sylar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57Roadster Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Someone said they were doing some maintenance.

Pugwash Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sorry guys, some issues with capacity with the host. It should be back up in about 30 minutes. Get off virtual hosting. Dedicated servers with unlimited bandwidth are not that expensive these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylar Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Get off virtual hosting. Dedicated servers with unlimited bandwidth are not that expensive these days. Bandwidth is not an isssue, we have plenty of that. Its the requests on the site that are large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Bandwidth is not an isssue, we have plenty of that. Its the requests on the site that are large. This is why you need a dedicated server. It's your CPU, then. Servage will tell you that you get twin-xeons, but they're xen hypervisors. You hit swap and the dom0s or domUs start bailing and forums use CPU so much that apache children spend longer time alive and eat RAM until you pageout. On a dedicated server, you hit swap and you slow down a little. On top of that, you can hand-roll your httpd.conf and my.cnf to your needs and the actual, not virtual, spec of the server. ps. I know bandwidth isn't the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylar Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Understood Pug, we have another host set up but we have not completed the move just yet. We did not expect to hit this limit this week at all. You can say we got caught with our pants downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've got a headache................thanks Puggy I'll translate: The system they're hosted on doesn't like being stressed, so the people that look after it rein it in from time to time. They need a system that can handle it without needing handling. ps. There's nothing wrong with virtualisation per se. I'm a big fan, but there are times it's not ideal.

Sylar Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) LOL, sorry to bore you guys. Wanted to keep the geek talk down. In short we wre using to many CPU resources in the server we are on. The server is shared with other sites so they gave us a slap on the wrist. Site is back online.
