We have well in excess of 100 members per day. "115 user(s) active in the past 120 minutes"

Lee, First of all.....How was the fishing this past season? On to your question. We host many forums. some more active than others. Here is an example of what we host on a shared hosting account. http://www.tristatesportbikes.com/vb3/ A forum with 100 users should not present any issues at all.

Dick is great, give him some chocolate cake

Reboot your cable modem and hope its a issue there. Ah, I see you already did that. DNS issues would result in a slow start up connection to the initial visit of the site. It would not effect your download speeds. I had comcast for a while until the oversold the node I was on so bad my download speeds went from 5mbps to Perhaps a firewall on your pc ? Call Comcast and ask them whats up.

That would be because RC3 was not production software

We do not run Windows servers, and that solution is for windows.

Paul, Congrats man! Aye, nice to see another future TCH customer in the making. Me wallet thanks you!

Things just keep getting better and better around here. Vivek has created a monitoring plugin to monitor the smartd daemon on all servers. We are still working out the bugs for the monitoring protocol, however it looks very very promising. This should be fully implemented by end of this week. You may asak what smartd is and I offer this "S.M.A.R.T. technology S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. S.M.A.R.T. technology was developed by a number of major hard disk drive manufacturers in a concerted effort to increase the reliability of drives. It is a technology that enables the PC to predict the future failure of hard disk drives. S.M.A.R.T. technology has become an industry standard for hard drive manufacturers. Through the S.M.A.R.T. system, modern hard disk drives incorporate a suite of advanced diagnostics that monitor the internal operations of a drive and provide an early warning for many types of potential problems. When a potential problem is detected, the drive can be repaired or replaced before any data is lost or damaged. The S.M.A.R.T. system monitors the drive for anything that might seem out of the ordinary, documents it, and analyzes the data. If it sees something that indicates a problem, it is capable of notifying the user (or system administrator). S.M.A.R.T. monitors disk performance, faulty sectors, recalibration, CRC errors, drive spin-up time, drive heads, distance between the heads and the disk platters, drive temperature, and characteristics of the media, motor and servomechanisms. The errors the system can detect can be predicted by a number of methods. Currently the SMART system can detect about 70% of all hard drive errors. Here's an example: motor and/or bearing failure can be predicted by an increase in the drive spin-up time and the number of retries it takes to get the drive spinning at full speed. Or, if the drive notes that error correction is being needed excessively, it can attribute this to a broken drive head or surface contamination, and it will create an alert before the problem gets worse. Armed with a prediction of failure, the user or system administrator can make a backup copy of key data, replace a suspect device prior to data loss, and avoid undesired downtime."

Who said we were insulted. I never said that Susan We just get a lot of non-tch clients asking for support around here that is all. Have a nice day.

I thought the same thing when I saw the web site in your signature is not hosted here.

We have added the following monitoring on each TCH server: CPU Load MySQL Processes Age of Local Backups (insures we have fresh local backups) Mail Queue Size Warnings SSL Shared SSL Expiration Webmail DNS Hard Disk Space MailMan & Qrunner Servertime SSH Port

As of 1/1/2007 I am pretty sure its no longer going to be free.

I would like to annouce the latest addition to our growing support team. Mike Miller joins our Level 2 administration team effective 12/2/2006 Mike brings 14 years of Linux Administration to our team and will be a great addition to our already robust team. Welcome to the team Mike!

The workaround is a .exe file that is installed on local client. One click and Content Protected is bypassed, hopefully your monitoring .exe downloads

Content Protect work arounds are available and I have seen them used in production windows networks. If you build it they will work around it. The only true web filtering is firewall based Netsreen makes a unreal line of consumer/production based firewalls that are really amazing. http://juniper.net Needless to say, our entire west coast cage sits on Juniper Networking Componets.

Nice find Wampthing!

Are you using a PASV connection?

Just remember although Fantastico can install the scripts for you, it is your duty to keep the scripts updated! A safe and secure site for you is really a nice gesture to the other sites on your server.

No and yes.

NO you can leave your domain name with your current registra and simply change the domain's name servers to point to our servers.

I have only one thing to say to the MPAA Screw you and your royality rights. /me invites 10 friends over to watch The Matrix on my 70" HDTV.

1. Server time 2. All servers run EST (GMT -5) 3. Servers are located in: Arizona Colorado Georgia Washington Michigan

Sorry Jayson, sucks big time to loose a dog.

Keith - Register a forum account here so we can officially welcome you to the family. Bill

I would use a Proxy Solution. You would set up one PC and tunnel all the client requests thru the proxy. http://www.google.com/search?q=free+proxy+...art=10&sa=N
