Right here.
Having a website is scary step to take. Having a reliable site, once you do have one, adds to the overall credibility of your company. There are many options, from making it yourself, hiring someone to make it for you, or totally giving a company free reign to manage your whole online presence. Each of these has advantages and disadvantages.

"Sage Tree Solutions is now his managed hosting service provider. Mike enjoys great customer service without the headaches of downtime or glitches in the system. By leaving the technology in the capable hands of Sage Tree Solutions, Mike can concentrate on what he does best: Electrical Training."​

Even hiring a managed hosting provider to eliminate headaches doesn't always hash out. Sometimes your site can still get really slow or totally go down every weekend for months, without any obvious resolution.
 
I was never once scared of having a web site.

I had my site designed professionaly to start with, then I took over once it got up and running. I make alll the changes myself. It's pretty easy, really. I thinks it's just as easy as posting here on of The Forum.
 
last night was terrible! I was thinking maybe we should take up a collection so mike can afford to get the forum on a decent server.

Speak for yourself. :grin:

Hello -
Last night around 6:30 PST the servers started having connectivity problems, experiencing unusually high packet loss which cased intermittent connectivity to the servers. Upon verifying that the server was in normal operating conditions, I contacted the network operations center to resolve the problem. According to the network engineers at the NOC, it turns out that one of the upstream routers had an ethernet card that went bad. It has been replaced and service has been resumed as normal as of 11:30pm PST last night. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Regards,
Rich Yumul

I guess I missed something...OR NOT, what about not being able to edit post? Is this part of the same issue?

That's not really an issue as much as it is a "setting". Seems like they're giving you about an hour to edit. Keeps people from zapping everything they ever wrote during the wee hours, among other things. Reference the infamous Terry Love incident.

Actually, earlier this week it was supposed to be set at 10 minutes.

As far as a slow forum being the end of the world for some, I don't have that problem, I have a basement wood shop, a garden, a big yard, a boat, fish waiting to be caught, a home to keep up,... just to name a few things to keep me occupied until the forum gets back to speed.

I now have a seperate garage for my shop, what do you do about dust? When I had a shop in the house dust was always an issue no mater what I did with ventilation.

Believe me, it is a problem.

I'm still using the primitive shop vac connected to the tool method.

I tried the negitive air (I think) window fan sucking out. But dust like water goes where it wants too when it wants too.

Oh and for my vote I liked it better when I had a longer time to edit.
 
i hope the mike holt isnt paying alot for this hosting. it appears as though the hosting company for this site and forum only has one internet connection, from Cox. Any decent hosting company is multihomed to multiple different ISPs so things like this dont happen. Are the servers in an actual datacenter? Or in someones office plugged into a cable modem?
