This forum can be down for about half an hour (hopefully not more) per day in next several days. This is because of the server maintenance, and since the server is located on the opposite side of the Earth for most of you (Wink), and the maintenance appears to be at midnights... this can happen in the middle of the day. I apologise for any inconvenience. Smile

Moscow Smile We were hosted at DreamHost before, but it was very slow and/or buggy, so I decided to move.
Sometimes it's good to use several different servers. Tongue

Heh. You know. I would love to have a server in my own bedroom.

Does a local webserver count? Wink

Nope, otherwise I'd say I have three - Apache 1.3, Apache 2 and Tomcat. Smile
Having a server in your room can be annoying... imagine yourself waking up in the middle of the night just to stop another hacking attempt or to install another patch while most of your visitors are asleep. Wink

Ah, we'll live... Tongue

@ Gary: Having a server in your bedroom sucks. They make a lot of noise most of the time. Especially when you want a cheap server. Buying decent silent stuff for a bedroom server isn't even worth it, unless you really use your server a lot.

I use WAMP on my PC and laptop for testing and development purposes. It's a lot easier than having to install and configure Apache, PHP and MySQL all by yourself. Tongue

Agreed. I built a rather silent PC myself, and it's almost inaudible over the day, i. e. when I'm listening to music or something like this (I always listen to music the whole day Wink ). But even if I'm able to sleep with it switched on, it's getting annoying, and I don't sleep very well with that buzzing sound. If I had a server, I'd place it in another room at least.

I have XAMPP, which is similiar to your thing, Apache, PHP, MySQL and it also came with phpMyAdmin configured, all I had to do was install SMF. Tongue

D'oh!

Okay, this issue was just terrible. The forum was down for half the day because of those stupid maintenances Sad
And it happened right in the New Year night - still cannot believe my luck. The server is still down, though, so I've temporarily moved everything to the previous hosting until they fix that. If you can see this message, then the correct DNS is already propagated for you. I just hope this happened before the midnight on your side... and the attachments still aren't available until I reupload them all.

I'm really sorry about all that, guys! :'( That's not how I wanted to meet the New Year, honestly...

Aw...no need to apologise, these things happen!   Anyway, as you can see it's working for me now and there's still about 6 and half hours before the new year here in the UK!
Anyway, I'll say Happy New Year as some of us will already be in it and given the high winds we're getting over here at the moment and the fact that the electricity supply in my area is a bit sensitive, I can't guarantee I'll be online come midnight.  Smile

Dont worry Serge Smile

To be honest, I'm sure most people will be with their families on this occasion. My family just happens to be online Wink

Well, right now, I am drunk (sort of), so no worries indeed. Wink It's not your fault that the hosting companies are acting up, and hey, we can live a day or two without the forum, can't we? Thanks for all the extra effort, much appreciated. Smile

Thanks people... to be honest, I was really depressed about that. Maybe it's not a big thing after all.
But I'm glad the forum is alive again...
