Sky broadband issues

Adey it's out of our hands, even moving hosts can take time, even then who knows if it would work...

[Brigsy]

First time ive been able to get on in days on three mobile. Wont load whatsoever on virgin media.

Can people re try on google?

I would be more than happy to assist Ian of course and offer some advice/recommend alternate hosts to do the job if its needed.

Great. Expect a can of worms, as alluded to by one or two others here. To solve IT issues you need the requisite knowledge, control and impetus. At any given time, one, two or all three of those are missing in the case of RTOC. That's not any individual's fault but it is the reality.

Could the membership have not be emailed with advice on how to use a proxy website while these problems are dealt with?

Facebook link to the RTOC group, an RTOC youtube link and some odd RTOC boards link. The main site is not there.

Hosts offer a free migration service. We could give it a dry run on a subdomain, eg. newsite.rtoc.org. Nothing lost if it doesn't work.
Here's a very popular vbulletin host : http://www.urljet.com/performance-vps-hosting.php

O.k. I'm now logged on via the works computer, I've not been able to do that at all up to now. That's a good sign?

Google search - nothing found.......

Google need to spider-monkey us again. It takes a little time. Don't sweat it.

A little unsure why we need a VPS. RTOC doesnt really have the traffic to demand a VPS

[TNT Tricky Nicky]

It's working fine for me now

We needed at least 20GB. That ruled out shared and most VPS as well.

As it's a vBulletin / MySQL site there're companies that say that can optimise the speed of all that. We like speed here

You dont need speed tho , and I cant understand why you cant get unlimited ?

Guys I use offer me unlimited bandwidth , and unlimited space. Not expensive either ..

[Madmax]

Mine appears to be back to normal - well done for sorting.

Perhaps you weren't here when we were using Webfusion? (with their one minute page refresh)

Perhaps things have changed but when I was phoning around a few years ago they all thought I was taking the p when I said we needed 20GB HDD space.

I think you must have had a duff host my good man. As I said - never had any speed issues on a non VPS server , also get unlimited traffic and space these days
