Guest Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks dudes, to be fair to the software guys they have had the real mare. Such a poor stroke of luck. It may be that some of you still can not log in, I am posting this from the Paramotor club app. And have not yet tried the site, they are still working on it at the moment.

Steve Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Do you host this site on your own hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yes, we have a dedicated server well, a couple now it seems! lol SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavrob Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Simon, I couldn't login via the 'login' link on the right. I could login by clicking on another link (eg 'full members' link in orange on the home page). Great that the site is back. All the best from New York! Gav. Edited to add... The 'renew subscriptions' link isn't working for me.... I'll check back in a while. Guess it may be associated with the recent problem?

Steve Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The site speed is certainly zinging along at a rate of knots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1buell_wl Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Simon I have my website with these guys http://www.a2hosting.com/#2 For 3.95/month it makes not sense to have your own gear (cost to much). The tool set you get is one of the best to make sure your site is found etc. Oh and support is really good. cheers T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just think Simon one $200 hard drive would cover 57 months at 3.50/month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ha ha, if only it were that simple. Outside hosting is great until you start requiring software on the server which they don't have or decide to change. Also our support is 24/7 365. We started out hosted on a run of the mill package but as soon as the site got busy it was slow and clunky and almost unusable. The package also tripled in cost in the first year. Having our own server means we have 110% control over the data as well. Big hosting companies are always targets for hackers who want to farm data, our software has prevented this from happening successfully There are a number of other reasons to have our own server SW Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yea good point if you need software on the server that is different for sure. I run mostly media/pictures for the e-store so I stay within the program for the most part. No one really bothers the e-stores anyways lol. I see your point and issue. Shit if you where closer I could fill your shop with servers and storage. We have a few tons of great gear sitting doing nothing. Just so you have an idea we have probably 2.5mil US worth of Netapps capable of hosting 500-700 tara worth of storage again doing nothing. http://www.smartechconsulting.com/FAS96 ...

slim Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Beautifully fast now Simon. Well done. I also couldn't log in using the link on the menu on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Sad part..... Its never been used. It was ordered for a project that we scrapped. I have stacks and stacks of servers to. We could host 100 of these sites with this horse power. We going through anther upgrade in the next year that will free up even more gear..... Its sad it just gets stripped and trashed. To bad the schools here could not use it. But if your ever looking for wesite storage pick up a netapp off ebay you will never have to worry about losing data again. We have close to a petabyte of it running globally. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid= ... &_from=R40 This is what oracle,google,yahoo etc all use for storage (just a ton bigger) highly recommend it. Get you swimming gear on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
