Hosting Provider Shutdown Site!!!
Friday as Episode 65 was being downloaded by our many loyal listeners our hosting provider decided to lock our site. Why you may ask? Well they say that the download for episode 65 was causing high CPU and IO and that is not allowed in a shared hosting plan. Hmm, we have been doing this since October 2006 and it is now an issue? Anyway, they want want us to have a virtual private server, yeah, who wouldn’t for $59.99/month?
We have worked it out with the hosting company to get the site backup. We have created a Libsyn account and are in the process of moving our MP3 files there. Some episodes will me missing download files until the migration is complete. The Libsyn account will still cost us an extra $150.00 bucks a year but it is cheaper than the $59.99 per month they wanted for a VPS.
well they are bunch of assholes XD
shush no taunting them. Some might read this.
You were using webHost4Life right? Too bad. I’ve had good luck with them and they have a decent reputation.
Oh well….
Good luck with the new host.

I suppose that’s what we get for having the vault give us such a cool front page spotlight! (don’t see it.. refresh).
I submitted that ad to the vault Dave.
What a wonderful job you did with that!!
To think the ‘cast is so popular that everyone trying to download it hosed the server. The price of fame, gang.
Congrats! You haven’t really “made” until you’ve outgrown at least one hosting service.
Then wheres my Ferrari!!!!!!!!!!!!!
… Man Trey. Ferrari? Dun tell me you really are into those italian concrete cutters.
OK folks, $150 a year … that’s one dollar each for 1 percent of the listeners.
Let’s step up and make this affordable.
*runs off to donate via pay pal*
Ooops! You can only donate five dollar increments. So, give up one Latte.
Yeah, it’s only $5, but now I feel all official, important, and maybe a contributing fan of “The One and Only Neverwinter Podcast”.
$5 Donation made…
C’mon folks, pony up.
I don’t know about this “pony” thing. But I shelled $5 as well.
So can we win a pony?
*Sets out a new fresh warm plate of cookies and an icy cold pitcher of milk*
“Pony Up” is a rough translation of a trollish phrase, used in a vaguely pokeresque gambling game, to denote the minimum wager that must be made to join the contest.
RoAnnon, I knew what it meant. but you just deflated all my fun acting ignorant! lol. And now they won’t try to let us win a pony!!
**Stuffs a cookie in RoAnnon’s mouth” no sit there and be good! lol

What’s this? I can only donate $5 at a time? How cheap do you think I am?
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to make one for a while, so this seemed like a good time for it. If you update the donation page to provide for larger amounts, I’ll send more next time.
I was surprised to hear that as well!
I like increments of 20! LOL!
