C-Cave is DOWN!!
« on: February 24, 2011, 09:13:43 PM »
Don't know if GD is the right place but I wanted the visibility.

CC has been un-accessible between 3 PM and 7 PM PST TODAY. I saw the same last Sunday and Monday around the same times. I tried to PING www.conservativecave.com at the same times and it resolved as a time out. www.google.com was reachable via PING at the same times.

Looks like your domain host is back to their same incompetency again.

Personally, I would not give them a nickle for their 'service'.

Its a difficult thing sometimes balancing between whats cheap and affordable vs whats dependable. That being said nothing is 'a sure' bet 100% of the time.

Personally Ive used 1 &1 Internet Hosting[/url] for several years now with no such probs. However I do use a diff provider for the domain name.

Its the 'kinda hate to put all my eggs in one basket' principal.

The problem that we had five days ago was a server issue, and not the host.  They repaired it fairly quickly once notified.

Although the server DID require a reboot last night, there was apparently a network issue.  It should be noted that this site has been the target of DoS attacks a couple of times in the past, as has our host.  When a DoS attack occurs, it takes time for the techs at the host to trace and block.

The ticket on last night's outage is still open, and still being investigated, a final resolution has not, as yet, been issued.

Thank you Doc for the update. I am NOT attempting to badmouth the admins and their thankless work at CC. I was just trying to offer a time/date hack as to an outage. The DoS attacks I understand and expect - considering our "alternate clientele".
Additionally, a guy like me, needing his 'multiple-times-a-day' CC fix, I get funky when CC is cut off.

If I am disavowed..."LET THERE BE BLOOD IN THE STREETS!!!111"...erm...never mind!

(do I need professional help?)  :-)

Thank you again Doc and all admins and mods...I will freely give time, money, and pictures of my hands to help. Just ask...

Please send healing white light! :-)

We're sorry for the outage. Goodness knows we hate it too!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I just returned from Wal Mart - they had Can-O-White Light on sale at $4.99 a gallon. Cheaper than coffee!

I bought a two-pack...it is headed your way... :-) :tongue:
