Title: Problems with the VP server
Post by: Uncle Mort on May 07, 2009, 11:36:31 AM
Not been able to get in for the past half hour or so and more worryingly, twice this morning on navigating between topics I was redirected to another, somewhat dubious site (youtubxxxx) and then got lots of attempted popup and virus warnings.

I've had the company anti virus and security programs going nuts this morning while logged into this site. 10 enforced reboots in as many minutes.

I had problems last week but none this. I should look nearer to home for your problems. Mine vanished when I purged the virus using AVG and then switched from using IE to Firefox. I never seem to get the log in probs or virus attacks when using Firefox ~ dunno why I keep IE except that it automatically logs me on whereas Firefox requires me to DIY the log in.

Two different machines - at home this morning and here at work. Probably connected to using IE but I'm still inclined to put the root cause to the VP server as no other site is playing up.

Well we don't own the server ~ we simply rent the space on it. BM is the only one able to speak to them and he seems to be "otherwise engaged" at the moment ~ perhaps if we all shout his name at the same time he may hear us ~ or then again maybe he won't.

Let's just accept that all servers have problems from time to time and they get sorted eventually. We are certainly not the only ones using this server.

I agree, all servers come under attack, even our work ones do. Still, the AVG at home and the McAfee here stopped any nasties.

Several times when changing pages on VP I have been sent here: http://reliable007.com/?r=1306&s=1410

Which tries to download some Media Player update to which my anti-virus thingy takes exception.

I also quite often get that 'error 404' blank page message, but only on VP.

Is it just me?

On the pub tho it is very much DIY unless you can actually prove that it was a server-side problem that caused the issue... almost impossible to do...

UPDATE:

I've been working on the server this morning and have updated many of the files that could have been infected with the virus thingy....

So far, I haven't had any experiences of the blank page or anything so hopefully we've caught it.

I've also downloaded the new Version 2.0 all-singing-all-dancing version of the software. Flushed with my success I'm wondering if I should try loading that too...?  scared2:

Anyhoo... Keep an eye on the forum and let me know if you have any issues. I won't add the extra bits back in 'til we are sure it is all working.

Post by: Barman on May 13, 2009, 03:43:26 PM
It is all painfully simple… yet stupid…  sad24:

I pay for 150Mbytes of database for the pub. Our current database (100,000+ posts, thousands of PMs, etc.) is about 75Mbytes which we compress and backup every day.

In order to resolve the virus nightmare I replaced all the files on the server. As part of this process I created a full backup of the SQL database.

Mathematicians among you will realise that 75Mbytes (actually 76,429,244 bytes) of our database and 75Mbytes of a carbon copy slightly exceed our 150Mbyte limit.

It was all working when I left for Limassol at about 11:30 UK time…

When I got back I had a message from Easyspace about the Pub. I called back, waited for 10 minutes listening to the most outrageous series of hold messages (along the lines of ‘why the fuck don’t you e-mail us instead) and music to be told that our database was over quota. ‘No problem’ says your favourite barman, ‘I will purchase more space’ (not realising at the time that the problem was caused by the backup…

So I immediately went on-line and ordered another 200Mbytes of web space… then discovered that the pub was ‘down’ as they had denied access to the database because we had exceeded 150Mbytes.

Several e-mails and phone calls (another 20 minutes of inane ‘hold’ messages) and I’m informed that the ‘techies’ can’t fix it and they go home at 5:30 anyway and they’ve passed it to admin but they probably won’t fix it today, blah fucking blah fucking blah!

This morning, after hearing nothing and raising a whole load more support ‘tickets’ I got an answer: -

Quote from: Easyspace Support
Your ticket was passed to our senior technicans at 9.30pm last night. They will be dealing with this from this monring at 8am onwards.

The fact that their technical people can’t spell ‘technicians’ or even ‘morning’ didn’t bode well for a prompt resolution to our problem.

I had to go to ‘werk’ this morning so sent them a message telling them I would be out and not contactable on my normal number. Heard nothing.

When I got back we’d still got no response to all my messages – zero, nil, nada. I called them again and spent another ten on their ‘0870’ number (gawd knows what that costs) only to be told that is had been ‘prioritized’. I should fucking well hope it had after 24 hours!

I did ask ‘brain dead’ why it took an hour or so to cut us off but 24 hours to put us back on again (actually twenty-one hours after paying for the upgrade) but no response was forthcoming…

3:06pm I get a message from Chris Durnion saying “Hi, see Iaians response above”. Of course there is no response from ‘Iaian’ above nor any response from anybody since 08:34am…

3:57pm Message from Allan:

Quote from: Easyspace Support
Hi,
This should be working in arround 15 minutes

Thanks for Contacting Easyspace Support.
(ignore the fact that he can’t spell ‘around’ this is good news surely?

4:20pm Get back from walking the dogs… message on the answering machine “your site is now working”

But it bloody isn’t working!

5:32pm Message from Shishir Mahajan

Quote from: Easyspace Support
Hi,

I am afraid the site is up and running fine, could you please confirm what part of your website is not working?

Kind Regards

 noooo:

It is sickening that after spending so much time and effort to combat the actions of a hacker the site is actually brought down by some complete arsehole in Admin at Easyspace – I urge you not to host web sites with them. This is basically gross incompetence, ignorance and the most appalling customer service…

What a complete bunch of utter, utter arseholes!  cussing:

Okay...

1) The avatarts are now all linked to external sites... They are imported and then re-sized to the limits I have set (150 x 150 pixels) in software. I guess the amount of time it takes to re-size all the avatarts on a page is determined by the speed of your PC. If we could all re-size our avatarts to 150 x 150 the problem will go away...

2) Worrying if you are still having the virus problem. It had definitely been cured yesterday but then that was before Easyspace fucked around with it. I've had one blank screen today but then that's not unusual with my snail-o-mong connection.

Anybody else have problems?

If the virus thing is not fixed i'l re-install the software again... what could possibly go wrong?  Shrugs:

UPDATE:

We have upgraded to the latest all-singing-all-dancing version of the forum code this morning.

As I mentioned, yesterday I ran a test programme on the server which checked for any virus files or any other type of unexpected file...

So, the admin are 99.9% sure that the forum has not been compromised (again) and does not contain any harmful links or viruses.

If you are still having issues, can you make sure that you purge all the cached files from your browser and then re-try?

Post any issues on this thread where the technicians and engineers will have a look at them.

This is increasing as the week progresses. I believe, as do other local techies, that this is due to all the GCSEs having just about finished releasing untold thousands of kids from school all day without anything to do but play on their 'pooters. We notice the same effect during school holidays. BT need to get their fecking act together and upgrade the exchanges< Serious head off.

To be safe and after getting 5 of these in quick succession yesterday afternoon I went off line completely. Ran virus and spyware checks and it seems my PC is secure enough. Then went back on line and visited several other sites and got no sign of the virus warning, which btw seems to be an attempt to make us sign up for some antivirus system or other. Anyway no sign of it anywhere else but on attempted return to the VP yesterday I could not get past the same bug. Gave up and this morning am using my lapbook that runs on Linux as Linux is considered pretty safe against virus attacks (Cue someone who will tell me it isn't).
I await BMs report on what it is and where it is coming from before going back to the PC and Vista. Meanwhile am squinting hard to read a 7 inch screen which, whilst adequate for the purpose for which it was originally purchased, is not pleasant for continued use.
Title: Re: Problems with the VP server
Post by: Barman on July 23, 2009, 08:50:02 AM
Well, I can't find anything wrong with the pub... it works fine for me and a virus scan this morning shows no problems...

Either the site has been compromised again which means I have to re-store all the software or the problem lies elsewhere...

I doubt if the site has been compromised because we have upgraded to the very latest version of the code (a new release came out just the other day) and we haven't allowed any new members since the last problems...

The only short-term solution I can try is to switch-off the Google ads and see if they make a difference...?
Title: Re: Problems with the VP server
Post by: Barman on July 23, 2009, 08:51:13 AM

Firefox did not block it for me (I am using the latest Firefox 3.5 btw) but as I said it seems to be an attempt to get people to buy some "new and improved all in one protection" by demonstrating their ability to infiltrate our screens. Anyway I am now back on the PC (Vista) and all seems normal.
Tried it on IE yesterday too and that is still showing hooooge and distorted avatars, double vision on the written word and generally f*cking up the whole VP. No idea why ~ thought we you had solved that problem weeks ago. It doesn't happen in Firefox. rubschin:

Anywhoo if you can't now connect on the link and I am not getting it on screen perhaps Firefox or AVG have sorted it for us.

I had what appeared to be a 'Windows Security Center" virus warning but it's obviously a fake as it locks the screen meaning you're tempted to click on it to try to quit. I would imagine you'll then end up downloading some virus.

I'll try a screen grab next time.

Nowt to worry about. The sun's been unusally quite for a few years now with sunspot minimum lasting longer than expected. Now there are some large sunspot groups appearing and flares are often associated with them. However unless the flare's pointed straight at us and very large the satnav satellites wont be disrupted.

Title: Re: Problems with the VP server

According to Wiki
Quote
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for packets sent from the local host to a destination computer, including the local host's own interfaces.

Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host and waits for an ICMP response, sometimes casually called a pong. In the process it measures the round-trip time[1] and records any packet loss. The results of the test are printed in form of a statistical summary of the response packets received, including the minimum, maximum, and the mean round-trip times, and sometimes the standard deviation of the mean.

The use of the ping utility is usually described as pinging a host computer. Ping has various command line options depending on the host operating system that enable special operational modes, such as to specify the packet size used as the probe, automatic repeated operation for sending a specified count of probes, time stamping options, or to perform a ping flood. Flood pinging may be abused as a simple form of denial-of-service attack, in which the attacker overwhelms the victim with ICMP echo request packets.

Frankly I am none the wiser  noooo:

As I said, it sends 32 bytes (generally) to the required destination (virtual pub for instance) and times how long it takes to get there and back...

Given that electrons travel at the speed of light (3 x 108 meters per second) you can work out the theoretical best time...

Any additional time indicates a problem somewhere along the way - it could be a congested hub for instance...

I wouldn't say it is really a problem but in the past spelling errors were automatically underlined in red as I typed my posts. Dunno why but this has stopped happening.
I could never get it to work on IE so that was just one more reason to always use Firefox but following (I think) recent Firefox updates the facilty has vanished.
Not a major issue as I can and do tend to click on the spell check button before hitting post but I wonder if anyone knows how I can recover the previous setting. I have been through the cellar to see if there is anything in account settings but can't find what I am looking for there.
The red underlining stilll works on the updated Thunderbird email facility and of course is there when I use any Windows Office Suite applications.

These are prolly not "Server Problems" but this seemed the best place to start a discussion on the subject as I cannot be the only one irked by this.

Also whilst on the subject why oh why can I have an English (British) spell check on Windows Office Suite but not on the VP board. Do we have an option or does it have to be English (US) spellings 'cos I am sick of being told that colour should be color etc.

Well... it still works for me in Firefox...

Check Firefox Tools Add-ons and make sure the British English Dictionary is not disabled... if it isn't, delete it and install again from here... (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/)

As for the pub spell checker, I remember Berek complained about it and I changed it (it defaults to US English). It must have changed back at some point since so I'll find out where the setting is again... it is not in the control panel - I remember that I had to change a file and upload it...

I like to do things on me own merit without help, learn from my mistakes, and that way I can then justify feeling proud of meself when it all comes together. cloud9:

Very commendable ~ just one question.
When you do make mistakes how do you know?

To my mind if you don't know something or are not sure how do go about doing something it is surely better to admit your lack of knowledge/need for assistance than to make a balls up and still not know you've done so.

When you do make a rickets of something and everyone goes  point: and you flounce off in a huff you only make yourself look and feel a twat.

Using a spell checker when one is available is common sense. I edit and publish a Community Magazine, as you know. Those that read it expect a certain standard, those that contribute to it rely on the editor to correct their errors so that they do not become the subject of  point: I certainly do not have time to use a paper dictionary to check every word so I do use a spell checker on everything that goes in. I also keep a large dictionary and a "Fowler's Guide to Modern English Usage" on my desk along with an Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, a Chambers Biographical Dictionary plus a Who's Who in British History. All essential aids to ensuring accuracy when I am editing.

It makes sense to me and I learn much more by checking facts and noting my spelling errors than I would by waiting to see if anyone bothered to tell me where I had got it wrong.

Hi,
Thanks for getting in touch.
I have loaded up the site and navigated around the forum a bit. It seems to be loading alright for me. Is there any particualr area or time that it seems slow?
I haven't tried posting anything, but apart from that I can't, currently, see a problem.
It is on a shared server and we haven't had any other reports of similar issues.
Is the problem intermittent or am I missing something when I'm moving around in the forums?

The amount of stuff we are carrying may, I suppose, have something to do with it.
The back-up download takes much more space than it used to. I have little understanding of how these things work but I do wonder if the number of You Tube videos posted has anything to do with it.
No doubt we only carry the links and the actual content is held by You Tube servers but ....... confused2:

Hello Mark,

Thanks for contacting us. I've had a look at your site and the load times ; the site loaded quickly for me @ 1.2 seconds for the full page, I've also tested this externally to our network via a proxy server and it only took 5 seconds.  I've used various website speed tests on the net and they all show that your site is loading in a timely fashion (within 2 seconds or so). We haven't altered anything as far as our server or network configuration is concerned either. Please get back in touch if you feel there are still problems.

It is mucho faster today .... perhaps fewer people on the www locally but unlikely on a Saturday. The VP is now running as fast/slow as all other sites I have been on today ~ not rivals but shopping and looking for family history stuff.

Either BM fixed it (unknowingly?) or it was just one of those things.

I usually listen to the radio via my PC .... Today Radio 4 will not play, just puts up a message saying "You have insufficient bandwith to listen to this programme".
So I shut down all other programmes I was running and tried again... same message.
Then I tried Radios 1,2,3 and 5 Live + sundry others and they all play ..... So WTF is that all about?
If the bloody BBC iPlayer can manage to play music and/or sports commentary how can I not have sufficient bandwith to listen to two arseholes talking on the Today programme?


But back to the VP .. speed is variable this afternoon. This morning it was its usual speed.

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:

Hello Mark,

Thanks again for your response. I've checked the site again and all appears to be ok at present  ; I suspect that this issue is quite possibly associated to the load on our shared web server at particular times. Unfortunately there isn't really anything that we can do from this end, we have just recently added a further 2 virtual machines to the cluster to improve the performance for this web host. The alternative would be to look at a virtual server solution (http://www.easyspace.com/virtual_servers) as this would provide a dedicated server where your site isn't contending for resources.

Thanks.

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:

Hi
Anytime the site is tested here it appears to load without problems.  Are you running a 3rd party script/package on your space?  If so there may be options in the help files which will speed up the site.  The only other option would be to move to another server, we can do this here, although the site may not run on the new server without some tweaking of the code.

Thanks.

We can rule out the Cyprus option as the servers are not in Cyprus ... if they were then BM would be able to whack them with a spanner or summat.

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:

Hello Barman,

We are aware of the issues that are being experienced accross the board with our shared Linux / MySQL services. Our senior administrators are in the process of creating a new MySQL box within the cluster, hopefully this will resolve the load / performance issues that you have been experiencing with your site.  I have checked the site at the moment and the response times are ok, the site / forum is loading in a timely fashion. Unfortunately I don't have a definite time for the work at our side to be completed at this stage, we are however aware of the problems.

Thanks.

Did you have one of those corrugated cardboard discs with two holes through which you passed a piece of string and then tied the string to form a loop. The trick was to wind (twist) the loops of string and then pull both ends to make the disc whizz round. If you got it right and could pull and release the strings at the right moments the corrugated card disc made a loud whistling noise.

I made the boys one each after the crackers hit the bin .... SWWLTBO banned me from anymore childhood memories.  redface:

Speaking of rulers the boys asked me the other day why it was that when I draw a line, using a ruler, I always turn the ruler over so that the bevelled edge is resting on the paper.

"Habit" I replied "All due to having to use a pen and ink at school, if you don't turn the ruler over then the ink will smudge"

Being used to pencils and ball point pens they were baffled.

Good Morning Barman,

Sorry for the late response, the issue that we had with the server was resolved on Friday evening. Can you advise what time your website went down? I have checked it today and it resolves fine at the speed you would expect.

You should not be having any issues with the site now that the host it resides on is working fine. Again my apologies for the late response.

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:


Hi Barman,

Because you are on a shared hosting platform and share 'non ring fenced' resources with other users we had an instance of one users hosting taking up significantly more resources than they should have been. This created issues not just for your but for some other users as well. The only way to resolve issues like this and ensure you have maximum performance would be to move to something like a virtual server that has ring fenced performance assigned to it.


I hope this answers your question and I apologuise for the downtime.

Regards,

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:

Morning Barman,

To solve these issues I would like to migrate you off the host you are currently on and move you to a newer host. This is the best solution considering the issues you have been having. If you agree it will cause minimal downtime, around thirty minutes however in most instances it causes no downtime whatsoever.

Please advise if you wish us to carry out this process?

Regards,

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:

I'm pretty sure it is the host you are on Barman,

Well you are not on it anymore, your on vHost9. This should resolve any problems so test it in the next few days and if you have any issues please let us know.

Looks like you have zero down time during the migration.

They've obviously gubbed up a load of the board settings in transferring it from one host to another...  Banghead

I need to repair them to see if that helps the issues...

We can't move the board to another host or ISP while it has errors... cunning eh...?  rubschin:

I see it the same way as Pastis. The "report to moderator" is on the right of my screen.
Of course I may have a different screen to yours as Admin screens do seem to show stuff that others cannot see.
You can try changing your view by going into your own "Profile"  see "Modify Profile", just beneath that there is "Look and Layout". Click on that and it will enable you to change how YOU see the board. You do not have to view the pre-set layout but can select from the options given. I have re-set mine to "Core" which is slightly more sharply defined and is, in fact, the old layout. Better suited to my ageing eyes I find.

Let me know if that helps at all.

P'raps my explanation was not good enough. I was flicking from one screen to another to get it listed in the right order.
When you get to "Look and Layout" you'll see "Current Theme (Change)" in the middle of the screen. Click on (Change) and you'll get a list of options as to how your personal screen will look. Click on "Core" and then scroll down to change profile and click on that. The difference is subtle but like I said I find it much easier to read.

And that's another thing that irks. When you use the "Search" function it only searches the section you're in. So if you can't really remember where something was you have to go into each section and perform the search again until you find what you were after.

Title: Re: Problems with the VP server
Post by: Snoopy on July 13, 2011, 09:36:12 AM
The slowness is due mainly to BT's lines being copper wires rather than optic fibre. They just can't handle the traffic. Another cause of slowness is that many so called "unlimited" download deals that ISP's sell are secretly monitored under what they call "fair usage" and when they get busy they screw down your speeds. Try going on line at 3 in the morning and the fvcking thing flies like Concorde 'cos there is no-one else on it.

I've struggled with pub problems on and off all week...  surrender:

Both the databases on which the pub is based are in a state of confusion. There should only be one but there are two...

The 'technical support' people have found it impossible to answer the question "why are there two and when was the second one created" - they'd rather blah, blah on about irrelevant shite...  Banghead

This is a typical reply that has no relation to the question asked: -

Quote
Hi,

The database you are using is indeed hosted on an older MySQL server (version 4.1.22). If you wish to upgrade to a more recent version such as 5.0.77 you would need to backup the existing database, delete it from the control panel, create a new mysql05 database then import your backup. Do not confuse the hostnames we've assigned the servers as the version of MySQL in use.

The support ticket system functions fine for the vast majority of our customers without issue. If you could highlight any specific problems you've encountered we'd be happy to address them.

Kind Regards,

Anyhooo... one of the databases IS using an old version and we've agreed that we need to back it up, delete the original, create a new one and upload the old data...

Of course the backup function doesn't work...  noooo:

Now we've got that going I've discovered another major problem: -

Quote
When I perform the steps above I'm returned a download that is 157.6MB. Due to the size of your databases you will not be able to re-upload it to the server (there is a size limitation of 8Mb in place. If you require the databases moved around the task will need to be completed from our side.

So after faffing about for days we won't be able to create a new database anyway....  Banghead

Onwards...

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.


I got a man in... he just hasn't said what time he will be here....  Banghead

It is a 'key' like the ones next to it that say 'New posts' and 'No New Posts'... They refer to the icons against each board...

So if a board had been re-directed somewhere else it would have that icon instead of the New posts or No New posts one...

I'll answer DS.

We don't click on that button to do it, which is why I didn't know about it .... as BM says it is not is clicky button but an indicator that will show up on the thread that has been redirected. Same as the two in front of it .... they are merely symbols to guide users. That row is a "Key" to symbols by way of explanation of what you might see next to posts.

Who can do it? It is something that only Admin  can do .... if, for example, we combine threads.

Why might a board be "redirected"?  If we feel it necessary

As to how ..... by waving our magic Admin Wands and to where? ~ Anywhere we feel is more appropriate 
In Wenchy's day much would have depended on hormones I 'spect so the answer could have been "anywhere we damned well feel like. evil:"

I hope that covers it all.  ;)

BT has confirmed that a "power failure" at a major exchange in Birmingham is causing problems for broadband customers across the UK.

Customers have reported problems from as far afield as Belfast, Edinburgh, Swansea and London.

Many users have taken to Twitter to complain that the company is not answering its helpline.

BT has told the BBC it has been made aware of the issue and is working hard to get information to customers.

In a statement, the company said: "We can confirm that, as a result of a power failure at one of our major exchanges, some customers may currently be experiencing loss of broadband service.

"Our engineers are on-site and the majority of customers' service has already been restored. We are working to restore service to remaining customers as soon as possible this afternoon.

"Should any customers continue to experience difficulty in accessing their broadband service, they are advised to turn their Hub or modem off and on again."

The outage has affected both business and home customers.

Carl in Bedford contacted the BBC, saying: "We have lost both our business lines at work and causing us lots of lost revenue as we can no longer do our scheduled remote work on our customer sites.

"It is shocking that a small power issue 150 miles away in Birmingham can have such a huge affect on business customers elsewhere."

Other users reported problems in many other places including Cambridge, Brentford, Wolverhampton and Cornwall.

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:

Hi,

These issues should now be resolved. There was precedent for an upgrade to a core part of the service. Due to the nature of the issue, although it was resolved fairly quickly, recovery of the services unavoidably caused intermittent issues with some sites. We should not encounter these issues again. PLease get in touch if you have any further queries.

Kind Regards,

Hello,

A staff member has replied to your question:

Hi,

Thanks for contacting support.

It looks like we had more issues with the server yesterday.

I have been advised that it was fixed at around 1.28 am this morning and they hope that this fix will resolve the problems for good.

Thanks

Got this today at 01.19....... I had no idea that anything had gone wrong..... prolly because the site, whilst still registered, was taken down a year ago.

This is a reason for outage regarding an unplanned disruption of hosting service you may have experienced.

At approximately 15:48PM on Monday 6th February we became aware of a Denial of Service attack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial_of_Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial_of_Service)) affecting our Maidenhead hosting network. This includes some of our cPanel shared hosting and some dedicated and VDS servers. This would have resulted in services hosted in this facility appearing to be slow or, at times, unavailable. Services hosted in Milton Keynes or Equinix LD5 were unaffected.

As soon as our proactive monitoring systems alerted us to the issue we despatched an engineer to the datacentre who was on site within 5 minutes. We worked to mitigate the issue as quickly as possible and normal service was resumed at 16:24PM.

We pride ourselves on our uptime and strive for 100%, usually achieving that goal. However on this occasion the outage is deeply regrettable. We are working to further increase resiliency and capacity within our Maidenhead network, and already have plans in place to ensure that this cannot happen again.

Please accept our most sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. Since we took over the running of Hostroute in July 2011, uptime and stability have been two of our highest priorities. We believe this to be the first disruption of service since our takeover.

Finally, during the outage we fielded hundreds of calls and support tickets, and were able to answer and respond to all of these quickly. If you have any feedback on how we handle issues such as this we would be very interested in hearing from you. We are always looking to improve the service we provide, and our updates during outages are an important part of that.

Kind Regards,

Regards,

The Team at Hostroute


However at least we know that some hosting services are on the ball.  whistle:
