it worked after the trace.

Did Chrome give anything more useful than "could not connect"?

I've been monitoring site response times, and the server seems to have gone from nicely balanced to overloaded on 29th or 30th March, with the database being the probable cause. I've drawn this to the hosting provider's attention.

Mac

Nope, that was the sum total of info given by chrome.

Mac.

Rick

So could have been "timed out" or "connection refused" or something else. Oh well. Thanks anyway.

Around 2pm I got a message from EZPZ saying they'd "corrected the issue on that server"... :alien2:

Mike

0836 - Unable to access website.

I can now access it but it is extremely slow.

Was there an error message, or just an uninformative timeout?

Ah. Chrome being its usual uninformative self. Oh well...

Carole

This afternoon has been dreadful, not only taking ages, but failing to link to messages, or modify typos, timing out etc etc


Delphine

Very very slow all day

Delphine

Rick

Yes, I've been elsewhere this weekend, but my monitoring process has noticed the slowness. The hosting service has been poked...

Just like to add that I have been having persistent problems since I started using the site last week. Pages are frequently slow to load, if they load at all. I have not had a single OAS browsing session where there has not been a problem.

Have almost abandoned using the site ATM it's so bad, slow and timing out all the time and losing posts.
If only I didn't need to get onto it to discuss things.   :( :(

Thanks for those, Mick. Looks to me like an overloaded database server. Hosting provider is investigating...

Mac

QuoteAh. Chrome being its usual uninformative self. Oh well...

I had the same but i then changed to Internet explorer, Exactly the same,
just timed out with no error messages.

However i did have part of the site up, just the framework, no graphics

Didnt log the time, sorry  :oops:

Mac.

Wow someone must have been taking notice, things are really fast this morning. :P

It is atrocious right now (20:40).

Barely usable.

It is getting worse day by day.

Just received the following from the hosting company...

QuoteOver the last few days we have been experiencing performance and uptime issues affecting Chronos, the server you are hosted on.

To resolve these issues the server will be taken down for maintenance at 1am on Saturday 3rd May for around 1 hour. This will involve:

***(I've removed a list of stuff - Rick)***

You won't need to change anything on your account or website due to the above, your websites will continue to work as normal but the performance will be greatly improved.

We apologise for the issues we've been having with this server but are confident the changes being made will significantly improve both performance and reliability.

Right now and for the last hours the website and forum have been as good as useless. 5-10 minute periods when the website is down completely and then when it's back up 10-20 seconds for links to work and things to download.

Seriously, why are we putting up with this? Considering moving to another hosting company would cost us less than £50 and about 30 mins work to set it up again why do we keep tolerating this shoddy service from the current provider?

Site was dire first thing this morning.  Took ages to get in and then when I did I couldn't open threads.  Gave up and came back later.

Carole

Rick

What times?

(My monitoring doesn't show any issues this morning, and it's been fine every time I looked today, but I was out for a while earlier.)

Carole

Should have taken a note of it, but it was around 8.50 to 9.30 ish.

It's up and down like a yo-yo !  There doesn't seem to be any pattern - it can be bad at any time.

Mike

Like I've said before, we should change our hosting company.

I've not been on much the last few days, but I've not had any trouble the tomes I have been on. I'll check my routine monitoring when I'm back at base.
