Downtime
Hi everyone,
I'm sure you're all wondering what the hell happened to Gen7Accord over the weekend. According to our host, we were using too much CPU and Memory running the php bulletin board scripts that they provide.
In a nutshell, they want us to upgrade the plan to something like $40 / month, which I honestly don't have to spend. Currently and ultimately, Gen7Accord.net is not a business, does not sell anything, does not make any money, and is purely here for the sake of hobbyists and community. I plan to keep it this way, but because I'm paying out of my own pocket, with the occasional donation and decal sale, there is no way I can pay for a more reliable host at this time.
The host we are using does a pretty good job. They have quick response in terms of customer support, but the way they run things is a bit lacking for my tastes. Can't do anything about it given the price plan we currently use.
I'm also obviously not rich, so maintaining this site and the domain name is costly, and I can't afford to put anymore money into this community, even though I would love to. We will, therefore, have to expect and endure the downtime that comes with a not-so-great host plan. I'm glad everyone on Gen7Accord is so understanding, which is why the club is so strong.
So please keep checking back, hopefully we can work things out and have everything back up and running.
Thanks a ton
