Apologies for service

[Screaming J]

There's not much that can be done with NSC's server in the very short term (ie today) so please stick with it as best you can.

It's really a decision of whether to pay £80 a month and accept there may be the odd occasion when things get swamped, like now.

Or look at spending 2 or 3 times that amount to get a shit hot server that will stay alive all the time, but most of the time will be running with a lot of redundant resources and hope advertising revenue comes in at a sufficient rate so as continue to cover hosting fees....

No apologies necessary !!!

Database wasn't touched yesterday, I changed the setting for that a week or so ago.

Yesterday I tweaked the webserver settings (but not until lunch time when I was able to get on to the box). As it proved to no avail as the box just couldn't take the strain. I kept an eye on the server load (when I could) and at their peak they were getting around the 500 mark which is very very high (just checked the load now and it's load average: 1.04, 0.97, 0.91).

Fair enough - just strange that it started playing up at around 3am with only a few users. And Turkey was still awake!

You got absolutely nothing to apologise for bozza. NSC's been at the heart of all things Albion when it counted. It was never going to cope with the number of users yesterday. and people understand that. Chin up matey!

Don't worry Bozza. At least it made me do some work yesterday, having been off sick for most of the rest of the week!! It's been brilliant to follow all the ups and downs up to now, and all that mattered yesterday was Prescott's decision. You can go home after today and enjoy a well-deserved

I got a server, P4 3ghz 1024 ram that I had used for my page, that page got 10 000 visitors a day, but I have sold the page but still got the server, so maybe we can use it to this ?

the server is a linux server so it can be used for PHP.

10,000 visitors a day to a 'normal' web page is a little bit different to 500 or so concurrent users on a messageboard. Thanks for the offer but I think we'll need something with a bit more grunt than that even. Probably duel processors...

 

[Scandinavianseagulls25]

"500 or so concurrent users on a messageboard" sorry for the lack of english.. = 500 users online at the same time ?

I dont think it would be any problems, I got around 200 users online at the same time and got no problems..

it´s a dedicated server

 

[Bozza]

We're currently on a dedicated server! Just not powerful enough...

Was your site a mySQL based messageboard?

 

[Scandinavianseagulls25]

NSC is now the first port of call, so cheers for establishing a great site

How do CPFC.org manage?

They spend a shitload on their server and have voluntary user donations.
