Ok, as many of you know, we have had some serious issues lately. We've experienced 10x the amount of reboots in the last 3 months than we did the 1st 5 years online. We have had two major(4+ hour) outages too. We only had one really bad one in the 1st 5 and it was my fault.
Things are changing though. The 1st step is that our servers are being moved out of my hometown to a collocated facility. This facility has a better infrastructure and that alone may help us a great deal.
Lately, I have appeared to be inactive, but that really has not been the case. I have just been ripping my hair out worrying about issues that I used to not have to worry about. I am not a server pro, so this is all new to me. I have gotten decent at trying to stamp out little fires set on the server by whatever it is out there doing stuff to us.
With this change, I think that some of the issues will clear on their own, but we'll see. If this move doesn't work, I will end up moving to a different hosting company altogether. I just can't sit back and do this. I need to be writing review, answering emails, etc...
Sorry for the slowness of the site, previous downtimes, etc... I hope to get this all resolved soon.
Ps. Do I have any Linux Pros out there that might be interested in doing some server work for me? If things don't work out with what I am working on now, I may need to move to an unmanaged host and have someone to help me with some things.
