Network Failure

Edit: Netrouting have still about 4 gigabit of incoming DDOS traffic. We’re doing all we can to keep the connection as stable as possible, we’re working together with our carriers to find a more stable solution.

Random downtime – Update

The datacenter and I have been working on this issue today, and we are trying something, and we are hoping that it helps ..

If it doesn’t we have some other ideas on going about fixing it.

(crosses fingers) hope it works then :)

The frequent downtime

I am working on it please be patient.

New Blog Theme

I added a nice new clean blog theme. In this theme there is a “Twitter” box to the left with my twitter username in it reading my tweets..  I kind of like it :)

Downtime? We’re back up

I had left for soccer practice at around 6.00PM CST time and the server was working fine, and returned home at around 8.00pm CST and the server was down… I rebooted it and we are all good now :)

Having problems accessing TVF? Check your hosts file…

Some people have reported problems viewing The Viper Files.

Here is a suggestion. First off always check your Antivirus/Firewall. Sometimes they will block our website since we are hosted in the Netherlands.

But what I made this post about was to check the hosts file. You may have edited this at one time to ‘force’ your computer to use the specified IP address for theviperfiles instead of waiting for your DNS cache to update.

Do a “Google” search on how to edit the hosts file, but here is a quick run through:
“”"”"”"”"”"”"”"”"”
Hosts file is located..

Start –> Run –> %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\

the “hosts” file in there. open with notepad as administrator to edit. make sure its not read only also.
“”"”"”"”

Hope to have helped out some people!

Regards and have a good weekend + Spring Break + Easter week.

We are online!

Well we got the SQL imported now and we are back online! :)

Update

Here’s the scoop:

the host tried to update the citrix xen and has completely corrupted everything.

We now have to go back to a backup from 2/20/10

I am extremely apologetic to everyone on this issue everyone including the VIPs :/ I will be working with everyone to consolidate the losses

thanks everyone.

Minor downtime experienced tonight

Downtime of slightly less than one hour was experienced tonight. I am not sure what was the cause of the problem but I was finally able to power down / boot up the VPS again.

Sorry! but it coulda been worse :)

A little downtime today !

Sorry TVF! A database table had crashes and I repaired it as soon as I got home! No data lost either :)
