    Roughly, how many times has your forum been down due to hosting issues?

    On hawkhost we have been down about twice in one and a half years with them but the host we were using before them was horrible and always had downtime so I would say about 10 times in total.

    Down from hosting, never. Down for maintenance, about 2-4 times :)

    Well, downtime hmm... We only went down for the resource limit for 5 mins tops a few times, then moved hosts and never been down since.

  7. Occasionally, we get a 'failure to connect to database' error and the forum appears to be offline. But, officially the forum has only been offline twice. The first time was when the host company upgraded their firewalls. And, the second time was for a few days over a billing error. Both times was stressful.

    When I was being hosted by BigWetFish Hosting I used to have a site that was down around once or twice a month but usually the down time was only a few minutes. Since I moved to a new hosting I am finding that I never get any downtime and if I do there is always a genuine reason for it.

    Only once, and it was a nameserver change error, not our host's fault. :p

    Once. When I switched the forum from my regular reseller account to the VPS we're currently using. I think it was for minutes, till they moved the database. The forum was up, I just closed it so that we don't lose posts during the migration. Don't think we had any issues. That's what happens when you PAY for a DECENT hosting plan and not depend on crappy free hosts to run your business :sneaky:

    I've had my site go down once, maybe twice ever on MDD Hosting. That was because someone else on the shared server was doing something against the TOS and ended up taking down everyone else hosted there. But generally it's been extremely rare to see my site down, which is pretty impressive considering I run a fairly active forum with all kinds of scripts that drain resources like a shoutbox and what not.
