MechanizedLife.Com offline temporarily

Uncategorized — CodeBastard Redgrave on November 14, 2008 at 6:55 am

As some may know I am associating with Alidar Moxie from MechanizedLife.Com under a new banner called Codali.

This morning, Alidar’s hosting provider suspended her account without prior notice stating overusage, effectively kicking offline all of Alidar’s inworld products, namely the CalendarCog products, StatsCollector and a few other products that depends on a central external server to store data and operate.

No offer to upgrade the account from them, this says a lot about their scaling capacity. Alidar’s business was not welcome anymore at this provider, one of the many practicing overselling of their servers apparently. Beware of any ISP stating unlimited use and read the fine print, they will drop you like a rock if your business grows too fast.

We were actually already in the process of moving MechanizedLife.Com to another provider, but the sudden account suspension just precipitates the move. This will also cause a general 48h-72h outage because of the mandatory DNS change, due to complete lack of collaboration of the current provider.

The services will be restored ASAP as we move all of the data on a dedicated VPS on another provider and do the appropriate DNS changes. The new platform will be much more powerful and allow the business to grow without interferences.

Thanks in advance for your patience while we restore access to the services.
