obive.net

Our hosting company has apparently upgraded the server and failed to notify us of any of these changes. The results:

  • IP address of server changed, affecting cybercoment.com, edhayes.us, obive.net, and subsequent sub domains.
  • Disk space quotas were really screwed up so I couldn?t upload or change anything until that was taken care of.
  • I wasted hours troubleshooting all of this when a simple ?hey, were upgrading the server and your IP address is going to change? e-mail would have solved all of this. I also sent them repeated ?fix it? help requests.

So there you have it, the explanation of why cybercoment.com was down? YEAH! It might take a while for DNS things to propagate? How fantastic!

On a side note, I?ve worked on CEInfoBar quite a bit today. The iTunes bar now does ratings and all sorts of cool fancy things. WHAT EXCITING NEWS!

Update:

I just learned that this was an emergency upgrade. One of the hard disks was close to failing in the first server.
