Quick question, how reliable is their support?

And how much traffic does this site generate? How big is it?

I know of a host that can provide very good service, downtime for them is measured in minutes, not days. Worst downtime I've seen them have is for 5 hours and that was a pretty bad problem they had.

I ask about bandwidth and size because they are more of a community based server and they usually prefer smaller sites that don't mind sharing a server with other accounts. You can visit them at www.futurequest.net.

The only reason I say this is because 7 days of downtime is excessive. And judging by what was mentioned, those guys at your older provider have the combined IQ of an earthworm, if an Earthworm even had IQ. If the site requires its own dedicated server, then yeah, I will understand. In fact, Futurequest will TELL you that they think you should go get a dedicated server......

Just my 0.02 cents. I just think this downtime is excessive as well as unacceptable (not to you but to those sub-amoeba guys at your old host).

Dear ASC.

I have been sitting here and missed you, my heart cant bear to be without you so long, so please dont be gone that long again.

Thanks for the suggestion, but yeah, we require a dedicated server. We outgrew shared hosting awhile ago, and the site is still growing quite fast.

7 days of downtime had nothing to do with their network really, it was down for 7 days because the old server was toast, and we migrated. Technically there was nothing wrong with old server or the connection, just the idiots handling the hardware. I don't have those concerns at theplanet, they've already proven they can take care of business, quickly and effeciently. Previous to that, their downtime was minutes at a time, if that. But I can't really trust the guys with the keys, so I decided to go elsewhere...

We push around 200GB per month, 3-4 million clicks. Grows a few % per month, though.

Im glad to see ASC back online, I was worried that I may never see it again...really. Just glad your back.

hahaha.. omg, that picture is so funny.. You have a larger one ?
Ninjas killed my server.. hhaha

Very true. My semester was looking promising. So much for that...

WELCOME BACK ASC!!!

Finally Miles, now you can get your ass out of the house and over to Joe Rockheads. Can we get back to our climbing already?

good work honestjohn, welcome back

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!! THANK GOD, MSN Chat to find out what was happening in the world of ASC just does not cut it!

So any pics from the Baha's Hojo :-P kiddin 8)

so if you just sold the last ticket, when do we find out that I won the USP?

thank god its back. i was starting to lose it. if school wasn't there to keep my mind of it i would probley would have the people in white coats take my me away for a long time

The only trauma I suffered was not having anything to do at school when I had finished looking at everything on ebaumsworld and wimp.com.

I was actually on ASC seconds before it went down. I was harboring a guilt all this time that I was to blame. You know...last person to see it alive = most probable suspect.

Me and Sadiztix thought Big Brother finally came down on ASC and we were taking bets on who would be the bitch...you or Tru...

Glad to see we're back, though. :D
