Head Guru

Go get em ace! heheh always wanted to say that to someone, just never knew a guy named ace.

Not all of you know the name. Most of you do. Mitch Keeler has decided to re-join the TCH Staff. I am like a proud father announcing the great work of my family. Mitch is back. Lets all put a warm welcome together for Mitch.

I dont think reliablity is a issue in this post.

We are going to start contacting people very soon. Thanks

Personally I think thats crap. Code hasnt been out long enough to come up with something. Just my two cents.

Any software that tracks and reports is intrusive in every way. Ace - go and get adaware or spybot.

Did you download recently a play of gamershell.com? A commercial Peertopeer Network. Downloadsoftware @ www.superfastnetworks.com The registry keys \HKLM or HKCU \ Microsoft\windows\currentcontrolset\Run delete in C:\WINDOWS\system32 SUService.exe SFNUploader.exe 809180918091.dat

Nah its just another day off for the US postal workers. I was really expecting something today.... Always happens.

Ignore what you read on those subjects, a reseller account has the freedom to host unlimited domains in any fashion within the space we provide them.

Not if your a reseller.... You should ne calling and or emailing your clients if your server goes down. Other than that I cant see why you would need this service. Just my 2 cents.

I have the monitoring already in place, I will say that it is not as reliable as the 3rd party companies, but I was thinking for 1/2 of the price we could offer 99% of the service they do. I mean this would be the same monitoring that I rely on to run TCH... The 3rd party companies run servers from 3 or four locations, so if one check fails the sysyem than fails over to another route to check your server. This is nice as if one of the monitoring servers has down time the others can take over. However I have found that our internal monitoring is 99.95% effective. This is for sure something we could offer. I just need to see if there is a interest in us offering it. If there is enough interest and I think I can break even on the deal I would offer this in a heartbeat. We could offer monitoring with 5 10 or 15 minute checks.

Glen is now forever known as the dark tipper.

We would send a email to your SMS device. For example. My cell phone provider uses.. 24870547**@mobile.att.net

The system would send a email to any email address is the world.

Several folks have asked for places to have their server monitored and when their web site goes down they want to be called or paged. If TCH was to offer such a service would you be willing to pay for it? For example. A monitoring service that checks your home page every 15 minutes to determine if apache is up and running. A monitoring service that checks your home page for content changes. This is a great tool to keep a steady eye on your site for hacks or unauthorized changes. A monitoring service that checks your MYsql server. A monitoring service that will page you when your checks fail and again when your services are back up. This can be sent either via email or SMS cell phone. Would anyone here be willing to pay say $1.00 a month for this type of service?

Just a suggestion... Use the PM Feature of the boards. This will send a private message directly to the users account and they can respond directly to you.

New Service Offering coming from TCH. Stay tuned... HINT HINT HINT

Wow Mike thats a great idea...

We have been hashing this over in staff chat for two months. We have gone so far as to hire a design firm and have had several comp's done. But... What do you think? When you first came to TCH and saw our site what crossed your mind? When you see other hosting sites and then look at ours what do you think? Should we spend the cash on this project, or what? Please help me, this is something that I would like to get resolved. Bill

I think the proper thing would be to approach the Network Admin or IT Department at your work. If the forum is blocked they probably have a reason to do so. If you bypass their block and get caught it could get ugly. IT guys are cool if your approach them up front and honestly. They will get ticked in a heartbeat if you try to cirumvent their network protocol. Just my 2 cents.

Hi, Effective March 1st, 2004 the following price increases will take effect on all new reseller signups. Simple Reseller Plan - $29.99 Basic Reseller Plan - $39.99 Standard Reseller Plan - $49.99 Deluxe Reseller Plan - $55.99 This will only effect new signups and upgrading clients. Any current reseller will not be effected unless their account goes into suspend due to non-payment. Current resellers enjoy the old prices until they upgrade or cancel. Thanks

(Bill gets out his A+ cert) Ok Kernel32 is actually a Dynamic Link Library. Kernel32's main job is a Memory Handler. It true job is piping input/output functions. When you boot up windows Kernel32 loads into a "Protected Mode" area of RAM. A major issue with the 9x kernel was that any program could make a call to that protected mode area of memory. The actual reason your getting a IPF (Invalid Page Fault) could be one of many. In my many years of IT field service, the most common cause for Kernel32 BSOD's were: Damaged Swap File Corrupt Registry BAD VIDEO DRIVERS Password list is damaged Follow the diagnostic route for KERNEL32.DLL errors by following the MS-MVP Richard G. Harper checklist: BAD MEMORY MODULES. Try inserting the command DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:ON into your CONFIG.SYS file with the System Editing utility and watch your computer for a message “HIMEM has detected unreliable memory at address xxxxxxxxx” which will certainly indicate that there is a memory problem. It may take several reboots over a period of days for this to show up. You can also download diagnostic software from AMI, or DocMemory from SIMMTester.com, to test your system’s memory. BAD VIDEO DRIVERS. Check with your video card manufacturer for an updated set of drivers. If they don’t have an update, check one of the driver sites here. CPU, BUS SPEED OR MULTIPLIER OVER CLOCKING. DON’T! FAULTY OR DIRTY COOLING FANS ON YOUR CPU OR POWER SUPPLY. The CPU fan can be cleaned with a small paintbrush and some compressed air. The power supply fan should be cleaned only by someone who is comfortable working around high voltage capacitor components. (If you are not sure if this is you — then trust me — it isn’t you.) GRAPHIC ACCELERATION IS SET TOO HIGH. Right-click My Computer, select Properties, then the Performance tab, then the Graphics button. Turn down graphics acceleration a notch, reboot, try again. Repeat as necessary. ANIMATED MOUSE CURSORS, MOUSE TRAILS, AND ACTIVE DESKTOP can also rarely cause these kinds of problems. Try disabling them all and re-adding one at a time until you find the culprit.
