Growing Pains - Server Upgrade in Progress is Done!

Posted by aaron on May 30, 2006 4:24 PM

While more traffic on Houseblogs.net is obviously a good thing, we've had a few recent problem with our hosting service. Access to the site may be sporatic over the next day several days as we conduct a server upgrade.

We're moving to a more dedicated server, which should be more stable in the future. In the mean time, sorry if you have any issues getting to the site. Also, you may find some things don't work quite right, including:

  • Recent entries won't update
  • The 'Featured Houseblog' box delivers an error statement
  • The webring won't show anything beyond the first 10 most recent member sites
  • Logins to the webring profile manager fail
  • Duplicate entries appearing in the 'Recent Entries' and 'Last 100 Entries' feeds

The upgrade should be completed by Wednesday some time this weekend....wish us luck! :-)

Update: The upgrade and all the necessary fixes were wrapped up Sunday, so everything should be working (ad be a bit faster) now!

"more dedicated"? Shared or dedicated - which is it?

It's a Virtual Dedicated Server, so that's why I said 'more dedicated.' Should provide us more stable performance at a resonable cost and without negatively impacting other accounts--we were previously using a shared host setup.
