Overstream Down For Maintenance

The hosting techs have noticed that we were bringing the server down again, but this time they gave me a chance to put my own maintenance page up. I linked from it to this blog.

The techs have promised to expedite the process of the dedicated server installation as much as possible. As soon as any ETA (that's Estimated Time to Arrival :)) will be known, I will post it. Originally I was told that "Typical installation times are 24-36 hours, but in your case we can do it significantly faster". Let us hope so.

Oh, and in case you are wondering how come none of my questions about the dedicated hosting were answered for 3 days straight (before today), the explanation is: "I apologize for the delay. Your ticket was mistakenly flagged to the wrong department." It's a curse, I am telling you... :)

Here I am again, crossing my fingers for Overstream to keep growing without many more glitches. Loyal users will remain loyal no matter how many times it crashes... that's why this forum was so important. Can't wait for it to be back up. Cheers,

I've been checking it compulsively all day. I should have just watched as much of ISWAK2 last night as possible. I guess this is better than waiting a week for the episodes to be uploaded at least. Just a day or so.

So sad! But definitely i will wait for it to be fix. I really love ISWAK.....

Overstream said...

I know, guys, it's so sad to see overstream down ;( Sammie: it should be definitely not more than about 1-2 days to move to the new server (i am really hoping there are no problems during the move...).

I haven't had any updates from the hosting yet, as soon as anything becomes known I will put the info up here!

I am also going to have to give some hard thought to optimizing the site's performance so that we can continue growing.

Thanks for all your support, and I will keep you updated!

I personally am happy with this. Cause once you do move to a better server or something.. (I don't speak tech talk..) Then we won't have these problems right? (I get that right?) Anyways, I've waited a week for TKA. I can wait some more.

about what time will the maintenance end...?

Overstream said...

No news from the hosting so far, they are getting the server installed as fast as possible. I will call them again a bit later to see if I can get more info for you guys.

It definitely will not take more than 1-2 days for the whole thing (and since it started 8 hours ago, it should be closer to 1-1.5 days).

Well, I figured out why the crashes happen on Monday now - that's when the TKA crowd gathers at their screens to watch the new episode, eh?!! Duh :)

Anonymous said...

Hahah, also waiting for TKA ep 11. I left the link to one of the parts this morning on my computer and I was able to watch it but not the rest. >_< I really really hope it comes back tomorrow because I've been watching it continuously since Thursday night.

Hahaha. It's true. We love our weekly indulgence of TKA.

Thanks for all your efforts overstream! Glad you can understand that the fans need their TKA fix every Monday :). We can wait patiently until overstream is back up and running, and hopefully from now on there won't be anymore hosting/server problems!
