I just like to annoy you

Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question, and besides, I've dealt with your server, and it about drove me nuts

Hi There, hi Sarettah

I'm also using M3server solution, i've a dedicated DS3 with them. I found this board by searching on a 'm3server down thread..' In a way, i'm very happy to see someone posted a recent message about simplecom (all others i found are from 2004 ^^) !

Until now i've been very satisfied with their service, but right now i'm starting to be very worry... No answer at all, from all the team, impossible to reach Corey by phone, impossible to get Chris from the billing team for weeks !!! It is unusual so for me it start looking bad.... i would appreciate to get some feedbacks from other simplecom's customers out of there...

Hey Vanone.

The only time anyone posts about M3 is when they are down ;p

There is a thread or 2 on GG&J from back in July when there was some downtime, other than that, the fact is they haven't been down much. Back in '05 there was some major downtimes and a lot of folks switched and I don't know that M3 has gotten the customer base back to where it was. Prior to that there were still a hell of a lot of people on M3.

I was just checking some sites that I know are M3, mine are up and running. VNWR however is still down. Wonder if Voltar is moving away or what?

I am at least going to put in a backup resource, probably down stairs at first. Think I am going to go out this weekend and get a copy of Redhat or some such and finally set up a Linux box here so I can put a mirror up. Then, if there is down time I can just change out the dns (already run my own dns server) and be back up even if only minimally.

Our retail sites are pretty much pure html, so I can already set up a back up on them. The wholesale site has some scripting in it so I need php for it. I could do most of it on the win server I am running here now (not iis) but still need htaccess, so the choices become installing apache and php on the win server (which would totally disrupt the viking install I am running and that has run flawlessly for 5+ years) or I can set up a new box. Think I will go with the new box.

So, looks like I have my work cut out for me this weekend.

Biggest bitch right this minute is the development ssues. When they went down a few days back (not their fault on that down, cut cable somewhere upstream/downstream/whereverstream) it was primetime, they were down from 8am my time till about 8pm my time. Lost 12 hours of development time there, combine that with the measures I started to take at that point to protect myself and I lost anywhere from 16-20 hours of prime coding time that I am still playing catch up on. Was planning to be coding last night and the down time took that away too.

Sucks to have to deal with this shit, hate having to make decisions about this stuff on the fly, so like I say, I will see if we make it through the weekend and will talk to folks on Monday when everyone is back at work.

Thanx, but their smallest dedicated box is $99/month so that's basically double. I've already found a couple that I can do all the mainstream stuff on at comparable prices but they are NOT adult friendly and I still do adult, especially on the development side. I might possibly end up doing a baby dedicated for the mainstream and just move all my development in house and get a virtual box for the adult stuff.

Ok, just noticed by my sig that they are back up. Hopefully I can calm down and get through the weekend and deal with choices next week when I can get a hold of folk.

Thanx for sharing the commiseration (sp?)
