We have been experiencing issues with our ISP COMCAST thus the downtime and interruptions randomly. They have replaced the cables and the modem but we are still randomly having some issues. We will continue to work on it and hopefully find the problem soon.

On another note I have been upgrading the host OS for the web servers and mail servers etc to the most current version of CENTOS in this process I have also tried to simplify things a bit in the process. This in in tailed moving websites to a single web server and moving the databases to a single server etc. Hopefully this will improve the performance and quality of the hosting.

On this subject of hosting I would like to remind everyone that I do this free of charge to all but a few websites (Of which I have not received any payment for quite some time mostly my own lack of followup) and thus I am not able to maintain a %99.9 up time so I ask for your understanding during troubled times. I will do my best to maintain up time to the highest level possible.

Thank you for your understanding and remember to please try and keep a copy of you sites and stored data. I do backups but a copy of your own will insure more safety from losing it.

There is going to be server maintenance over the weekend. There is going to be some down time involved in this process Some servers are getting moved so they will take longer. Thank you.

All system have been running smoothly. If you have any issues feel free to contact me.

Main server Power Supply failed sometime last night. Replaced it with one from one of my workstations early this morning around 5am.

Over the last few months we have been working on a migration of the server to a virtual server configuration. This has been done in order to reduce the amount of resource usage. We have been able to condense 4 servers into one server eventually doping the number of servers to 2 from 6. SO over the last few months you might have experienced interruptions and such. The majority of the migration has been completed so please let us know if you are experiencing any issues.

Sincerely,
Daniel Du Vall

We be switching to a new service provider with in the next few weeks. During this process I will be contacting some of you with new IP  information for those who mange your own DNS.

We are making this change do to poor service quality and many billing issues with QWEST.

This change will also bring an increase in the speeds in up and downloads.

We have been experiencing some issues with the current release of the ASSP SPAM filter. It has been tripping on file permissions and access on a random basis. I am working on tracking down the cause and hope to have it fixed soon.

The Spam filter tripped on itself on Saturday 110808 this caused mail to not be delieved to some of those who have mail boxes on this system. This issue was fixed Monday morning 111008. Sorry for the inconvenience

Sorry for the interruptions this morning with web and mail. I had to finish the hard drive replacement process which was to move things back off the temporary drive to permanent drives. This took a bit longer than expected.
