Server upgraded

Post by ZiggyZoomba »

Last night (3/24/07) my web hosting company shut down ay-ziggy-zoomba.com because of too many HTTP requests. I had not exceeded any storage limits, nor any bandwidth throughput limits, there was simply too much activity on the website for the server to handle. Too many people... too many BG fans!

Now, don't get me wrong, this is a great problem to have, but due to the detrimental effects of that activity on other customers on the same server, I've had to upgrade the hosting account once again. Now, any traffic/issues with ay-ziggy-zoomba.com should only effect ay-ziggy-zoomba.com (and pepperguy.com because it saves me $$ that way :-) ), which is how it should be.

So, I apologize for the few hours of downtime last night. There may be a few more in the not-too-distant future as I upgrade phpBB (the software that runs these bulletin boards) in the next day or to, but going foward, things look bright.

Roll along!

I'm going to take the boards down here in a few minutes to upgrade phpBB... just letting you all know in advance. Cross your fingers and all should be back up and running before too long.
