My stats are going away, hopefully onto temporarily.

[Tellian]

For some reason that I am still trying to determine, one of my stats scripts this morning went apeshit and managed to bring down a service or two on the machine I run them on. The services were back up in just a few minutes, but since this is a work box (even if only a backup server), I can't afford to let this happen again. Because of this, as of right now my stats are, for the time being, no longer going to be updated/maintained.

I've considered bringing them up on one of my home machine, but unfortunately with the volume of hits I get right now, that is not really an option for my bandwith. If I can't have it run the way I want it to run, it won't run at all.

I hope I am able to find the problem(s) and/or manage to get them running reliably on another machine soon. My apologies to those that relied on my stats. C'est la vie.

I hope you get it sorted easily.
I'm sure everyone appreciates the effort you have made doing them. I certainly do.

Tellian, have you considered f5hosting? It's the service we use for this BB and website (as do Picard or rather Ninja Micros - since we tipped them off to this service).

Check them out:
http://www.f5hosting.com

fast apache server with 1 Gb ram, running on Redhat.
PHP4, mySQL, CGI, PERL etc
Control Panel, chatrooms, email accounts, BB support, 24hr helpdesk etc

Check out their platinum service:

http://www.f5hosting.com/plans.htm

On special offer for $19.95US month.

I got myself a Gold plan just for personal use, at these prices, the facilities are top :)

We get quite a bit of ussage ourselves, but the BB never slows, rarely offline, and if so it's for upgrades, more ram etc. Really very good.

Toss in my offer... I have dual T-1, load balanced, into the house. Lots of machines/rack space. Depending upon what it is, you could run it on one of the SPARC machines and not even effect my production at all. Otherwise, I could toss a linux box onto the network that could handle any conceivable hittage...
