Hey Everyone!
First off, I apologise for out dontime, We've had so much dontime due to people messing us about. We all dont feel good about what has happened but I assure you it was unavoidable.
We Unfortunatly lost the backup from our server before. Tektonic.net who we were hosted with before deleted the backup before we had chance to get it, they are the ones to blaim for our downtime and our lateness of our return.
But now we are back, we have changed our name to DD.AM along with alot of other things we have changed. And we are now automated, we offer the following Packages now:

alderuz January 9th, 2006, 11:17 And the link to your hosting is?
Ammo January 9th, 2006, 11:22 I figured someone Might Ask This Question Yet I already posted it :)
http://www.dd.am That is the link, We went for a Rather Unique Extension.
alderuz January 9th, 2006, 11:28 I did not see the link before. :D
Mange January 9th, 2006, 13:06 This is the best host ever seen! Instant setup and everything!
Ammo January 9th, 2006, 13:39 Thank you for the kind words, glad we could help!
seven_raven January 10th, 2006, 03:20 i just wonder .. how if some thing that happened to ariel-networkz also happen to this hosting someday ...?
xiaojun24 January 10th, 2006, 03:38 Ariel-networkz last long. It was even called old hosting.

The domain extension only has 4 characters as co.uk, me.uk, co.nz, co.jp, etc has, that's good! Always fun to be special and not always use same domains as others does even if they are free :)
XFH-Jay January 10th, 2006, 09:08 Thanks. I've always love ariel-networkz, and it's up again! :)

Hey!

See You at the forums!

scottcooper January 10th, 2006, 21:36 Just set up an account....this is the way it should be...quick and painless! Thanks again!! :-)
Ammo January 11th, 2006, 02:51 Just set up an account....this is the way it should be...quick and painless! Thanks again!! :-)
Not a problem, glad we could help.
Ammo January 12th, 2006, 10:50 We had a bug in the automatic signup, it was sending out too many pm's! But its all fixed now! :biggrin2:
MarkK January 12th, 2006, 12:38 it's really really slow.. :(
spysense January 12th, 2006, 14:59 no it's very fast i hav a site in there
Blade1941 January 12th, 2006, 15:19 it's really really slow.. :(
How could you complain when you get it for free? You should be thankful.
You can only complain if they promise something and then can't back that up, but I don't see anywhere where they wrote that they are the fastest webhost in here, their site seems to go fast so I really doubt their services are slow.
spysense January 12th, 2006, 16:04 hey i couldn't reach my site or www.dd.am whats happenin?
Ammo January 13th, 2006, 11:35 Should be working, Cameron may ghave been doing some server work though.
fskof January 14th, 2006, 14:49 Should be working, Cameron may ghave been doing some server work though.
Nope, it's down. The server is up and running (responds to pings) but it's refusing http connections.
spysense January 14th, 2006, 15:17 "Nope, it's down. The server is up and running (responds to pings) but it's refusing http connections"
same too i think they're backing up server again
fskof January 14th, 2006, 15:22 "Nope, it's down. The server is up and running (responds to pings) but it's refusing http connections"

Yikes. I really hope their backup strategy doesn't involve taking the server down for hours at a time. I'd rather have a host that didn't do backups than one that goes down that much for backups.
spysense January 14th, 2006, 15:25 the same thing happened yesterday so i think it'll be allright and i can login to ftp
Ammo January 14th, 2006, 17:42 Hmmm, I havent been around much recently so I havent seen any problems, But I will definetly look into it! Im not having this. Backups arnt running at the second, but as of tommorow they will be.
Ammo January 15th, 2006, 08:08 There was some downtime, Someone was abusing our system, There is a thread about it here: http://dd.am/showthread.php?t=99
We are soon doing some forum work so the forum may be down today, But it should not be for long!
- Dan
spysense January 18th, 2006, 05:48 hmm another downtime is happening i think but i can login to my ftp and one of my pages
kaihao96 January 19th, 2006, 01:15 There seems to have been a problem with the database.

spysense January 19th, 2006, 01:22 same thing is happening in my site too i can login to cpanel and ftp and when i in cpanel i saw that all of my mysql db's ara gonee.............
fskof January 19th, 2006, 08:19 Yeah, the mysql server's been saying "too many connections" and refusing new connections for at least 10 hours now.
Your databases probably aren't really gone, that's just a side effect of cpanel not being able to connect to mysql. Once they fix that everything should be there, unless there are other issues.
Ammo January 20th, 2006, 15:57 Hey!
We were not entirely sure what was causing this problem, but It has been resolved now. We may be moving to an even better server at the end of the month. If we do decide to move, there will be little to NO downtime. I think weve had more then enough downtime to last 3 webhost's lifetime! :eek2:
I will inform everyone closer to the time!
Thanks for supporting us!
- Dan
Colin Behr January 21st, 2006, 10:26 I would just like to add:
The problems experienced with MySQL and downtime have now all been smoothed out. It was mainly just down to setup problems, but now that we are settled you will experience a very reliable service.
If you have any questions, or any feedback about our hosting please post here and I will be glad to reply.

Ammo January 21st, 2006, 17:44 Thanks for adding that Colin. Hopefully we will have no more downtime! We also just recently hit our 2000 Post Mark Ina few weeks! So we thought we'd celebrate with another Competiton You can see the thread's here :
Posting Competition : http://dd.am/showthread.php?t=186

and something weired thingy happens in php side. page cant be found after posting or some post parse does not work.
Ammo January 23rd, 2006, 12:16 Not sure what thats about, I will look into it.
Hemanth January 23rd, 2006, 12:52 Nice to see that my old AN is back.. But i'm now setted in another host. Hope i can join you in the next shift.
Dan & Collin, you once aian did a great work. But the downtimw without a word.. :) I lost my whole backup...:( Anyway Goodluck to you...
fskof January 23rd, 2006, 14:17 The problems experienced with MySQL and downtime have now all been smoothed out. It was mainly just down to setup problems, but now that we are settled you will experience a very reliable service.
Main web site and all hosted sites are down again.
Ammo January 24th, 2006, 16:10 Main web site and all hosted sites are down again.
We are still trying to setup the server, we keep experiencing mysql problem, so were just trying to settle in, dont worry! we will do our best to keep it up!
bigsly January 24th, 2006, 20:25 Sorry you keep having trouble, it is nice you work all arround to fix the problems. Nice plans , the site seems to run smooth right now :)
Ammo January 25th, 2006, 17:35 Weve had one today I believe, but they are becoming less frequent and dont laste as long. I cant seem to find the problem its mysql but not sure what!
We will find it though.
godam64 January 28th, 2006, 04:43 the average speed is enough for me.
no post, no ads, instant activation. this is great.
romi January 28th, 2006, 09:41 I've never experience a problem, like downtime or whatever...
This is really a good host.
I recommend all who want a good host!
spysense January 30th, 2006, 06:26 another downtime :(
test_user January 30th, 2006, 06:30 See http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?t=84638
romi January 30th, 2006, 10:20 hmm.......

hope it will be fixed soon..
spysense January 30th, 2006, 10:30 i saw many downtimes but i never think about changing host..
singapore January 30th, 2006, 10:50 wow ,it's ok now
romi January 30th, 2006, 11:14 yeah... it's up and running properly now :)
Ammo February 1st, 2006, 17:52 Yeh We havent had many problems that I know of in the last few days, its starting to sort itself out. Was extrmely annoying at one point, but were getting there now.
Ammo February 4th, 2006, 14:05 All Server Problems Have been fixed Mysql Wise.
Just to let you know, our Competitions are still running, we invite you all to take part! Find out about the here : http://dd.am/forumdisplay.php?f=2
Thanks alot!

spysense February 5th, 2006, 05:41 too many downtimes happened since i started to host my site in dd.am the site is very very slow since 3-4 days
Ammo February 8th, 2006, 06:56 Yeh, Were not sure what is happening, Our hosts that we have the dedicated server with cant figure out why exactly it keeps happening, One minute it will be fine, the next the load will shoot up and the server will go down. Extremely annoying but we are working on it.
Shanghai February 8th, 2006, 11:03 I dont know why I cant visit dd.am.also cant visit my site
Racer X February 9th, 2006, 00:35 I just moved my complete site over there set everything up and this morning I try to visit it, and bam! nothing! It's no longer worth it, I had been using it for about a week before I decided to mover everything from my old host to it, now the day after I do it they go off the net, this is horrible. MonkeyBum and now DD.AM, why can't there be a reliable host with a good amount of features?
xiaojun24 February 9th, 2006, 00:51 up again. they got an attack from china?
china is banned now. no problem with other countries.
Ako February 9th, 2006, 10:00 I just moved my complete site over there set everything up and this morning I try to visit it, and bam! nothing! It's no longer worth it, I had been using it for about a week before I decided to mover everything from my old host to it, now the day after I do it they go off the net, this is horrible. MonkeyBum and now DD.AM, why can't there be a reliable host with a good amount of features?
Because its free! They have problems with server, and they are trying to fix them asap (from what i understood). So if you can't afford $1 per month for something, dont post stupid comments, about reliability, after all they are helping you not you them.
Racer X February 10th, 2006, 02:27 I assure you that my website being down constantly does not help me, in fact it hurts me. I didn't realize they made no profits from offering this service, especially a post-to-host service like the one they offer. Also, free does not have to mean unreliable, I've seen some reliable free hosts out there. If all of these hosts would just get together, putting their money and profits together, then maybe we could get something that we could depend on.
The comment I made was not stupid, it was an opinion based on what they are offering and what I am actually getting, which is a headache.
godam64 February 10th, 2006, 10:30 can't connect to dd.am
i hope they don't ban indonesia :)
Ammo February 10th, 2006, 16:10 We have not banned anything to my recolection, It could however be our hosts.
To stabalise we have no made it so all mysql connections are closed once they are not being used, we were having alot of people leaving connections open in bad coding clogging up the server alot. HOpefully this will help alot if not we'll get to the problem in the end.
chocolatxbliss February 10th, 2006, 18:24 does this support ssi?
Hemanth February 11th, 2006, 03:42 Because its free! They have problems with server, and they are trying to fix them asap (from what i understood). So if you can't afford $1 per month for something, dont post stupid comments, about reliability, after all they are helping you not you them.
I cann't agree with you. :D The reason is simple. Many people out there are looking for free hosting. It's not just becoz they cann't afford a $4/ month. The paymnet options are CC's & in US$, which most of the begginers don't have.
If someone offer me a free hosting service it's not just free. either i've to put ads or i should visit their forums. So it's the matter of mutual understanding & help .
After all dd.am is a good host. I was with'em when they were Ariel-Networkz. Dan is always a kind admin.:) I think he could manage the over CPU load issues. The old AN dead in the same way as someone put a CPU internsive crap in to the server. This time you've a dedicated one, so besat wishes to be up & working.:)

Thanks alot for the kind words hope youll stick with us! We realy are trying to keep the server up as much as possible, weve been working alot more then you think to keep it stable.
Ammo February 15th, 2006, 10:58 We should with a bit of luck be moving to a new server around the 20th of this month. Its not set in stone yet but it should be happening, the server will be much bigger and the hosts are alot better so we shouldnt have anymore problems like before.
Thanks to everyone thats stuck by us!

godam64 February 18th, 2006, 08:45 wow great.
i hope there will no more problem with the hosting :)
good luck
fskof February 25th, 2006, 23:17 Any word on what's going on with this host? They've had a lot of reboots and intermittent outages, but they've been down almost all day. Their DNS is down, so can't get to their main web site. I can still get to my site (it's not on the dd.am DNS servers) but my database seems to be gone.
paco1515 February 26th, 2006, 19:32 ya i can't get on anything :(
romi February 26th, 2006, 22:01 Maybe DD.AM is still in maintenance state. Yesterday my site hosted there and DD.AM itself was down, can't be accessed. Today, it seems that the database server (MySQL) is not running or down.
Hope everything will be ok soon.
I love DD.AM :)
xiaojun24 March 1st, 2006, 02:08 It's back. Is it located in new server then?
forgot something.
I love them too. many error though.
