Downtime Update #4

12/03/2014 14:35

So, I thought I should make a proper aritcle explaining what's going on with the hosting problems.

 

Some of you guys seem to have got the impression that I'm finding it hard to find any hosts willing to be of use to me. While I do really appreciate how eager you are to help, it's not hard to find a host, no matter how tiny -or nonexistant, even- your community is. It's simply a case of trudging through the hundreds of bland and similar hosts, reading reviews, comparing value, etc (so do still tell me if you do see a host that looks very impressive... :P).

The reason it's taking me so long, is because a fairly new VPS hosting company caught my eye, and I decided to give them a go.

 

While they are AMAZING value, and they have pretty decent customer support, problems with the VPS, or with Multicraft, keep coming up. There's been at least 5 times when it's all looked fine, and I've started to get the server ready to be opened up, when another error has suddenly sprung up out of nowhere.

Assuming that they can make this thing stay working for more than half an hour, I'll keep using them for now, and open up the server, and then I'll either start looking around some more for a more reliable, but worse value, bland, and less flexible hosting company, or I'll work on getting the server into a more polished condition, if I decide to stay with this company.

We got to aim high Robbie! you know how the saying goes: "Reach for the stars and you might get strapped to the top of a rocket" or something like that. Hopefully everything is going to be alright

Haha, not sure getting strapped to the top of a rocket would be ideal either, might be a tad stuffy up there :P.
The host is going to try installing a different control panel for me, Multicraft seems to be filled to the brim with errors.

So, any news on the control panel bud?

Not much, it's installed, and it's given me a better impression than multicraft, and seems slightly more stable, but it's still not working properly. :/

Well, the fact that -1 (yes, MINUS ONE) players are on the server might be interesting.... xD
It also does a pretty good job of summing up how this is turning out :P
