It's possible that you may have never visited the site when there was a problem, but my old server (netbunch/webhostplus) would go down for days at a time without warning. They did not regularly back up files and databases, and I had several heart attacks where the server crashed and I had to rely on my own backups.
But the main problem was the tech support was a joke. They had no live help, their phone was disconnected, and there was no way to contact them except by submitting a trouble ticket, which would go unanswered for no less than 1 week.
If you run a search for these companies (netbunch/webhostplus), you'll see what I mean.
TT can also attest to the problems of the old server

Rodimus (well, actually anybody) -- If you do experience a problem, just copy it to a temporary .txt file on your computer's hard drive, then when things are working again, post the error message here.
From what it seems, the new server may be on a small network. When large amounts of bandwidth are being used, the site may spit out errors, but it seems like it's only for 10 seconds or so.

Yeah, that's the server drain issue. These guys run a small company, but the good thing about small companies is the fast, friendly supportRodimus Prime wrote:If Arcee was getting the same as me, I haven't even been able to get the page to load.
Just the normal page not found error.
nothing to do with phpbb code or anything, just no page to locate period.

Yeah, "page not found" sounds about right. It usually works okay again after a while, though. It's nothing too frustrating.Rodimus Prime wrote:If Arcee was getting the same as me, I haven't even been able to get the page to load.
