Let's see...
Server move, then electricity problem, then server move continues....

That leaves us with ONE choice to explain the downtime now!
Godzilla is attacking the server facility!!!!! :devious2:

Ironically,
check this:

http://www.valcatosupport.com/status/

All green?? :confused:

Is it really an "Server status" script, or they just put those little green circles there.... :biggrin2:

[invisionz]

lol :D

No, its a real server status script, but it doesnt seem to want to display the real results :)

[Wojtek]

It should not be called "Current Server Status", but "What we want to achieve as uptime"

It's down since 11:30pm. It's now 5:40am :mad:

[invisionz]

Do you know who they lease their servers with? Nocster?

[Coight]

Looks like a DNS issue

[9cy]

Traceroutes go via cogent for me and trace to HOSTNOC.net which on whois is owned by BURST who own's nocster so Yea there server's are at nocster.

[invisionz]

Seems other servers at nocster are fine...

;)

[Jan]

They are back up :classic2:

[Ashed]

The admin said it was a Kernel problem.
Damn, I'm so p*ssed off... :rolleyes: :mad:

[MTG]

What about the 99,5% uptime guarantee they offer???

99,5% = 3h36m downtime per month

Today (only) they were more than 5hrs down :p

[Coight]

I highly doubt it was a kernel problem. The server could be pinged, however the hostname did not resolve.

[invisionz]

Ask for some compensation?

I'm not their client! Just asking :)

[Coight]

Well if you purchased your hosting for $9.99USD/year, and they did not meet their uptime guarantee you will receive 83cents!

[9cy]

Damm thats alot of money :P

How did you calculate this?

[invisionz]

I would say he did $9.99 / 12 to find the refund for that month

[invisionz]

Hehe, i wonder what they will say if you asked them for a refund for that amount..

:)

[Coight]

It wouldn't be worth it, going to all that trouble for 83 cents.

[9cy]

I dun know with the way pricing is going 83c will buy you unlimited hosting for lifetime soon enough :P

Not unlimited :), 100gb's probably. Paul you have to realize their will always be someone cheaper than you but the thing is, people will eventually realize you get what you pay for :)

Another member who is weak in Maths :D

365 x 24 = 8760 Hours in a Year
8760 Hours in a Year - 8716.2 (99.5% Uptime) = 43.8 Hours the host can be down :)

30 x 24 = 720 Hours in a Month
720 Hours in a Month - 716.4(99.5% Uptime) = 3.6 Hours of downtime :)


Also, to calculate the amount they owe you:

9.99/(12 Months x 30 Days x 24 Hours) = $0.00114/Hour

This way if they were down for 6 hours, they owe you:
$0.006842 :D
