Problems with the server > new server - Polyloop

Thomas · 3rd June 2008, 13:12

Hi,

As you may have seen, Polyloop had a blackout for 24 hours. The problem came from a corrupted file system, which affected both hard drive. Thanks to my hosting company who spent a lot of time to fix this!

The good news is that Polyloop is back. The bad news is that I will need to change my server: this problem has been fixed this time, but it's not sure it will be ok the next time and this problem may come back faster than we can imagine.

Then, I ordered a new server this morning. It will be faster, more ram, a bigger hard drive and will cost less each months (currently, around 120 euros - $185 and for the new one : 70 euros - $110). the change will be done this month, I hope this next week (just for me the time to configure everything, and I have a ton of stuff to do to fix everything.

All your donations are welcome! (I also have to renew the vbulletin licence..)

Sorry again!

No problem Thomas

Don't know what I'd do without polyloop - it's the first place on the web I visit each day

So I clicked that donate button - keep up the good work.
