MiniInfo.. we have a problem...

[UEC]

I got an email form the people who host the site.. they said we have gone over the 100meg bandwidth limit for our account. This is bad. They might delete the account. So we need a new host soon. or something.Quote:Ref: shireroth.port5.com Dear Sir/Madam, Your site has broken its bandwidth limit of 100.00 Mb, it has in fact consumed 103.90 Mb of bandwidth this month so far. You need to visit http://www.portland.co.uk/late_upgrade.esp as soon as possible to purchase extra bandwidth. It is very important that you act today, as your site may be removed from the system. You can view your current statistics at http://www.portland.co.uk/weblogin.esp Regards, Sales ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Portland Communications 0870 741 0994 -------------------------------------------------------------------------That being the Email. Or we could take other actions.. like removing some of the images on the forums being hosted on the site... E.

currently, I have no Idea how to work with the site, especially since every time I've tried to access it (and yes, I've tried to access it even from before you sent this) I get that message that says the bandwith has been exceeded.Also, even if I could get to the site, I couldn't do anything, as I have no passwords, no programs to run it, or anything...Nor do I know how to decrease bandwidth... isn't that just the number of people who access the site?So, could someone help me out here too?

may I ask how much bandwidth and web space we are currently signed up for on their server, and what fee we are paying for it? And if possible, how much web space we are using... also, erik, if you see me online, I'd like to be able to figure some of this stuff out myself...

bandwidth..... 100meg per monthServer space.. 10meg?Fee? Nothing.. It's FREE!!!!.....hehe E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

okay, so if it's free, can we get another site on the same server under a different name, and put half the stuff there, then link between the two or something? Raised by a family of Griffins in the forests of Llanowar, this young mage is rumored to be the sole male born of the Serra tribe.

Alright, this problem has been temporarily solved. I created a new site, and pointed all the images to there. However, I think it would be best if we ran a dual-host system here with the sites. If we host all the images for the board on the new site I created, and then host all the images for the site on the old one, then we can push most of the eaten bandwidth over to the new site.Alternatively, we can host half the images on one site and half on the other, and split the bandwidth 50-50.Also, I'm going to try to update the site just a wee bit, so we don't have all these old files making us look inactive. I could use a bit of help on this, so... umm Erik, I believe you're one of the few who actually understands Shirithian time. Could you compile an updated list of Kaisers? I'm going to go scrounge around the Immigration and Naturalization centers to grab people's avatars and titles for the populus page. If anybody has any history they'd like to put up, please either post it in the university, or email it to me at LeftyHazard@Hotmail.comAlso, I notice that half our subdivisions have their images hosted off the site. If we get this dual site working (and get the old site back up and running) then I think we'd be able to host all the flags.Maybe just for purposes of complications, I might put up another site to hold custom backgrounds for other fora (such as goldshire's beautiful hills, which have been stolen ever so often.)So I'll need all y'all's feedback for the site. Umm... please don't access it right now, tho, because I want to keep bandwidth down to a minimum until it's complete. Thanks!

That could work. I say try it. Any of those ideas.. whichever you can maintain.. E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

[Gryphon the Pure]

umm... yeah, evidently they're going to delete shireroth.port5.com if we don't pay sometime... but right now that should be okay, since the other site is working just about as well... but I have the whole file format for the old site on my computer, and we can set it back up as soon as it goes down.In the meanwhile, I've been updating the site and moving things around a lot, and fixing the html pointers... and deleting a bunch of duplicate files, and organizing things into a flow that goes with the layout of the site.

Spiffy! I think the Kaiseress has something put together when this was her job under Raynor. Might wanna talk to her. E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

Hmm...you ran over your bandwith because you are hosting the pictures off the site...and if you move it...you will just run into the same problem...everytime somebody visits or loads a page or anything on this board, you are taking up the bandwith....

[Gryphon the Pure]

i was intending upon putting up two sites and hosting half the pictures off one and half off the other... and since the background and the banner (which are the two most loaded images) are now on a different server, we should be okay for awhile. Hopefully I can get the site running dualhost or whatever the hell I was trying to do...
