Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 22, 2016 Bimmersport went down around 4am on Saturday because there was a powercut at Hampton Downs which is where it has been hosted for the last couple of years, the UPS kicked in but when it eventually died it seems a lot of things got a voltage spike. The routers became corrupt and I lost a lot of hard drives. I have spent the last day trying to recover what I can but I am pleased to say bimmersport is back from the dead, albeit running from my home internet for now. Please put up with it being a bit slow until I find a permanent place to host which will be this will be Monday/Tuesday. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you're not stressing in these situations; do know that we appreciate everything you do, and if it's off air, we know you're doing what you can when you have time. Patiently waiting, sending good karma your way! This place can't run without the support of those who run hosting kit. Andy, very generous of you to volunteer some kit.

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 Server will be at a new datacenter from tomorrow, I anticipate downtime from 8am Friday to sometime around midday Friday. Appreciated. I'm happy to donate a contribution towards hosting/bandwidth if that's desired or required. Perhaps you could set up a donations page here on the site? Is that out-of-the-box with IP.Board? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 Move complete, well sort, the external IP will have to change soon but it will only go down for a short time when this happens. I am also running through distro upgrades at the moment as well. Let me know if you guys think its quicker. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 It's way quicker! Exactly what I was thinking! Living in the boondocks, I'm unconcerned about waiting for a page to load. 2 seconds or 10 - makes no odds to me. Certainly when I came to the site a few minutes ago the speed of load was evidently quicker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
