Smutnode down... AGAIN
 

Is anyone else's Smutnode site(s) down (again)? Mine have been for HOuRS and I'm getting zero response from Ward... And getting really, really annoyed...

might be time to stop using freehosts :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Yep :2 cents: check sig ;)

:thumbsup:thumbsup

or find ones that work ive used kinghost from the day they opened. great free service :2 cents: :thumbsup

how do i get ahold of you

Nothing but a headache! Get at me :)

seriously. This happens every time.
:thumbsup

It's inevitable. Unless if the service is run by Google you can't expect it to be up. And even Google sometimes kills off their services.

Some people never learn... there are a lot of threads about peoples free hosted sites being down/gone :warning

send me a private message. :)

Because the people in this industry are cheap fucks. :2 cents:

Mine are up, but take a really long time to come up, I have one tube doing 3k a day now want that to stay working. I have been trying Ward for other reasons on icq for a week+ maybe more havent heard back from him hope he is ok.

As for freehosts, this is not a freehost really it is just a tool that is hosted, and I doubt anyone makes any real money there. It is just a self hosted traffic pump/seo helper. I doubt anyone is relying on it for hosting lol.

Hope you are ok Ward, hit me up been trying to reach you about your blog posts from a bit ago a couple are done, a few others I can't finish as the sites I was to post I couldn't grab the pix or vids you wanted since I was locked out or they were down forget which, if you see this post hit me up on ICQ so I can find the info and get it from you and finish :) You have about 20 offline ICQs from me lol :D

It's a free host. You're parking your site on his service and using it free of charge on your end. But it costs him. This stuff doesn't just magically get paid for.

Never said it got magically paid for, and technically it is a free host, but not in the typical sense, since you aren't uploading anything etc, he has a script/tool he provides to generate ad revenue and traffic for him and you. Anyway, I just hope he is ok, and I am not too worried if it goes down, I bought a few domains for 99cents to put on there since I like him and his system, and so far one of a few is doing nicely, so hope not to lose that, otherwise, only hope it does well for Ward.

my gravy boat with biscuit wheels was thehun + kinghost = $$$$$$ the good ole days before the middle east bullshit. :(

Actually, just sent him this thread, and saw on bottom of trillian last message recieved july 1st?? Anyone heard from Ward since then? I am kind of worried now.

Hope he gets back to someone soon.

Smutnode is not a free host. You pay for it with 10% of your traffic.

Everything on the internet is hosted now. Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube... Bla-blee-bla-bluuuuu.... It is ALL hosted now. You do not even need a server unless you want to host landing pages.

A lot more than 10%. Sometimes the site will not update for a week and will take every first click and redirect the traffic to PornSomethingSomething.Whatever,

I know these things because I know these things.

He did fix the first click problem a bit ago, I told him it was a bad idea, not good for surfers or us in google. Not sure if he swtiched it back, on mine it's fine :)

And yes everything that makes money now is hosted, tumblr, tubes, twitter etc you only need landing pages and not all the time even then, sometimes just a redirect.

Damn, now you are going back - First manual submit - PersianKitty...

Then on to the Greenguy multi submit form - I think it was him anyway.....

I am old - My memory isn't what it used to be - lol...

We have problems due our host we are using. The datacenter has some major issues! I'm working hard to work together with the hosting company to fix it all!

I'm did certainly not disappeared$. Things will run smooth soon!

I like your style :thumbsup:thumbsup

I'm just hella frustrated 'cause every time my Smutnode sites start to grow traffic, the system crashes. I hate to crush every site with a move, but if Smutnode can't handle growth than what good is it?!

Thank you for responding but can you please give us some more information... Like what exactly is the problem? What are you doing to fix it and to avoid these problems in the future? How long until you plan to have it resolved? I apologize for posting these questions on a public board but you have stopped responding to email & skype.

Previously, you have said your server problems are a result of bots, then it was new users overloading the system, and now it is "major issues" with your data center. I suspect that the problems are ongoing because you are trying to save a few dollars on your hosting plan. But please consider that you are losing a tremendous amount of traffic, new customers, new sites from old customers and $$$$ because the system is overloaded.

Glad you are ok. Now fix Smutnode :)

I certainly don't want to save on server bills. For the past few days our host had some major issues with a Ddos attack (they resolved this now). In meantime I took advantage of that downtime to do some optimisations.

=> Added two more HTTP Servers
=> Moved DNS from my hosting to cloudflare (should hopefully speed up DNS lookup).
=> More caching in our search servers.

Normally you should see a decent speed increase!
