VMK no BS Forum - II

The site came back up after 16+ hours of down time.

I was very unimpressed with 1&1 web hosting and their lack of anything approaching customer service. The tech support line rings to India, (I think), they just said they were in the far East, and only has email communication to the people actually working on the servers in Germany. They could never give me an estimate as to when it would be back up. I did however get this nugget of information: "We don't have backup servers."

I will certainly not recommend them in the future, and will gladly post here as I find out whether they actually charge me full price this period. I sent two emails to the specified address to request a credit, but have as yet received no response from either.

VMK no BS Forum

At www.vmknobs.com we are experiencing a problem with the web hosting company, it seems that the physical server hosting the forum, 5 of my / my client's sites, and the sites of approximately 1000 other customers has gone down. It has been down for nearly 15 hours now, and they still can not even give an estimate as to when it will be up.

For all you VMK no BS Members, fear not, we will be back.

More details of this incident will follow, as will the chronicles of the "service" received from this host. (If I ever get any...)

VMK no BS Forum

Well I know I have again been slow to post, but, here I am again...

Part of my excuse for this time is that I have been moving the VMK no BS Forums over to a dedicated location. ProBoards was great as a free host, but users couldn't find us when they lost the link and threads were disappearing from time to time. I even had a user that thought he was banned, though I banned no-one.

So we have moved to: www.vmknobs.com things are going and growing well.
