Oh, hey.
I always think it's because of a DDoS, but there is no way that happens that frequently.

It's not because of my wifi or 4G

So what is it

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Because the server is being hosted on an abacus.

We're currently on shared hosting and I think we're just now beginning to see the problems that come with that. A month or two ago, the site went down because someone else who rents space from our host fucked something up and basically they DDoS'd themselves and us from using up so many resources. Don't ask; I don't really know the details.

This time, I'm not sure. I ask the host every time it goes down, but they hem-haw around and either tell me that loading times of 7-10 seconds for shared hosting is normal, that the problem is because the site or database is not optimized, or they completely deny the issue and claim they aren't seeing anything.

It is a hosting issue and it's on their end, as all my sites go down when this happens (thus not a database or site issue). It's not a DNS issue either, as we ran traces for the traffic routes of users experiencing down time.

To top it all off: the host treats rapid, numerous error logs (from failing to fetch a page or if the site breaks) that come from the same IP to be "malicious" and so that's why a bunch of you couldn't see the site even after the outage was "fixed." They blacklisted your IPs.

It's just an issue I'm currently working through and hopefully one that can be resolved, either by the host ridding themselves of their incompetence, or by us upgrading to a VPS to speed up the site and get more resources.

That has some truth, but not to the extent that it breaks the site too much.

It wasn't relevant to the issue BC was complaining about. The outages rarely are caused by the database and are instead server-side, where users time out from lack of response. I've seen a few SMF error messages, as I'm sure everyone else has, but they are minuscule in comparison to the timeout errors.

I think that's what's happening, yes. It's why I'm considering upgrading to a VPS, but those are a lot more expensive, so I want to hold off as long as I can and see if this is just a glitch or oversight or something (as has been the case before).
