The site was down for sometime. Was it a regular server reboot or a crash?
Just wondering...
Yeah I noticed too, some mysql errors, both for qbasicnews.com and forum.qbasicnews.com, tho a little different ofcause.
yes i noticed it aswell but after thebigbasicq did, and then it just went down all of a sudden.
It appears the server crashed. Unfortunately I don't have much info on the frequency of downtimes personally, but I'm looking for a program to help keep a check on things.
But what caused the crash? I know of programs which SMS you immediately if your site goes down. But that will cost you extra cash =P.

I'm on a shared server at the moment, sometimes some wild scripts overload the server. Downtimes shouldn't be very long, but they still too frequent for my liking(hopefully I'll be getting a dedicated server soon).
normally servers have a guarenteed uptime rate, so if you find that out then u could make a percentage of how long the downtime is and percentage, then if it is an england company you can have them fined for breaking trading regulations.
the site went down again, a few minutes ago... :evil: This time vongodric noticed it :lol:
It seems to happen more frequently lately...
go and kick your hosts backside, tell him he runs a lame service, then move to digitalblackie.com
