Yeah, About That Server

by Jeff Clark on Jun 11, 2007 3:15 PM EDT in CelticsBlog

I'm sure Bob could give you a long, wonderful explanation about why the server issues are happening, but here's my short and sweet non-technical reasoning. BlueHost has certain limits to activities sites can perform. This site routinely goes over that limit because of traffic. For a while BlueHost had given us a free pass, but it seems as though they've turned back on the restrictions that punish us for being popular.

All I can say is that we are moving to a new server soon and that should do away with the dreaded CPU screen forever. We can't promise there will never be another error, but we can hopefully count on it not happening several times a day causing my keyboard irreparable damage from my head slamming into it.

Head into the keyboard, huh, Jeff? That probably works a little better than throwing my laptop repeatedly against the wall.

I have, however, conditioned myself to copy most of my messages before I press the “submit” button. I finally caught on after losing probably 20 posts or so to the gray screen of death.

Silly Al Gore inventing the internet and all…still, it’s flawed.

Could you give us some idea of when this move will take place?
This is my favorite celtics message board but lately it’s been impossible to navigate.
It takes multiple times to get in and then once you do you’re afraid to click on anything because you’ll get the dreaded suspended message.

If there is anything that can be done to speed up the move, maybe a collection?, please, please consider doing it.

I’ll begin arranging the new setup later this week. We will most likely move the site one day next and with any luck we’ll be running from the new location some days before Draft Day/Night. We’ll provide more details as things progress.
