Hello,
As some of you might have noticed that you were not able to access server for over 7+ hrs, if i have got those numbers correct. Seems like iptables (firewall basically) failed to work properly and every single ip was put on blacklist , how this happened or why this happened will be investiga ted by our server managemen t company, now why the managemen t did not pick up the failures that were sent to us and to them, is under question and if they fail to provide reasonabl e response managemen t will be changed.

Sorry for the issues, and hoping it was the one and only downtime for year 2008 we had.

Regards

Administrator

Hi,
As you guys might have noticed yet another downtime during the week, as it is reflected in http://www.siteuptime.com/statistics.php?Id=26250&UserId=36076  report too.

Details of issue:
Our EX-Management (jonesolut ions.com) failed to provide reliable managemen t and lacked pro-activeness in monitorin g our server, we have now switched our managemen t, and are using them for our PHP Proxy Hosting (www.phppr oxyhost.c om) server too (yes we have separate server for hosting proxies), they have been prompt whenever issues pop up, for example the recent power supply failure and server outage was handled by them , even before I myself noticed that proxyhost ing was down.  But we were not fortunate enough with Jonesolut ions.com to pick up the failure and respond to the situation in time.

The problem was either misconfig ured Kernel or Firewall misconfig uration. Either way the managemen t was responsib le to keep server in healthy state at all times, but failed. On weekend we had same issue/failure, and re-occurrence  of same situation showed their inability to correct the root cause.

Total of 7 - 10 hrs is our estimated downtime over the span of 1 week only, we never had such an issue , and hope to never see another re-occurrence of the same.

We apologize for any inconveni ence cause.

Regards
Your Host
Sumeet
