Recent Events At Astahost, The Hosting Server Problem, And The Xisto Corporation - Everything is related it seems.

Vyoma
I think it is still in effect. I was able to upload few files a bit earlier, but lately, the changes I made to my CSS were not seeming to effect and it was driving me nuts. I did not know what in the world happened to my CSS/HTML coding skills.

Just before I was going nuts with Filezilla, I came here and checked up this thread - to effect saved my sanity. Thanks for noting it vujsa. At least, we are able to make changes to the database - else my blog would be stuck in a shameful state of incomplete theme. (Have set it to a default theme and am waiting for this to pass over).

Why does it always have to happen when I am working on something! Murphy's Law in action!

OpaQue's company has aquired another hosting companies assets. That is Computing Host has bought shothost.com which means that he basically took over the hosting accounts for shothost.com.

Nice smile.gif. They bought WebPlanetHost back in the day, didn't they?
Does WHM make the accounts read only when it's transferring a backup? I didn't know that.

QUOTE
Once a set of transfers is complete, I believe that the server has to restart or at the very least, the server has to re-catelog all of the domain information for the accounts as well as other file association tasks.

I'm quite sure it would need to run rdnc to update the DNS zones in BIND9, and also add the new Virtual hosts into /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf. Then it needs to restart Apache. Also, the backup takes quite a lot of CPU time (Unarchiving a large .tar.gz file is hard work tongue.gif)

P.S I just thought I'd drop in to say Hi, I haven't been here for about 18 months tongue.gif

  3. Hosting Application Approval Time
    How long will it take? (0)
    How long will it take to get my application for free hosting approved? We've been getting that
    question a lot recently and the answer is, "I DON'T KNOW!" I'm sorry to say it but it is
    the truth. I have absolutely no idea when you might expect to get hosting currently. Like most
    people that show up here, I was looking for a free hosting service where I could develope my website
    and get it going before I had to spend any money. The good old no risk system to starting a
    business. Turned out that I spend a lot more time on the forum than I do working on the....
  4. Two New BBCodes For Astahost
    (13)
    Hi guys, Mastercomputers just came up with two new cool BBCodes for Antilost - and I
    prompty adapted them for this board. They're ACRONYM and ABBR (Abbreviation). These are the
    two much needed and literally indispensible BBCodes for any technical board. With ACRONYM
    you'll be able to write the acronym in your posts and link it with its full-form. Whenever you
    hover your mouse over the acronym, the full-form of the term pop's up around the mouse cursor.
    The same goes for ABBR - but it's purpose is slightly different. It allows yo....
  5. Astahost Faqs And Web Directory Reinstated
    (0)
    Hi folks, The Astahost Website Directory and FAQs System have been reinstated and are fully
    functional again. I've added links to them on the main forum page and they're accessible by
    clicking the links right on the topmost menubar of the main page. You'll find the last two items
    titled - "FAQs" & "Web Directory" - use these links to access the respective features. The
    service disruption was most likely caused by the last hacking attempts - but they were nothing other
    than stupid defacing of some useful feature. Not to worry, nothing gained and nothi....

    Prodigy decided to leave Astahost yesterday ( January 30, 2005 ) due to his own busy life and also
    his new company. He has contributed a lot to this forum. Not only that, but all the free web
    hosting accounts, configurations, modification.. were managed by him. Without his help, It would had
