Server Issues

on Feb 22nd 2010 with 16 comments

Over the weekend and into Monday we unfortunately experienced some pretty severe downtime on all Envato WordPress blogs. The downtime was due to problems in the data centre of our current hosting company which was out of our control.

It seems to all be resolved now, but I just wanted to make a quick apology for the inconvenience and interruptions. We’re going to be re-examining our hosting setup to make sure we avoid this situation in the future and to generally try to pull up the quality of service across the board.

In the meantime there may be some further minor interruptions as we shore up the setup. Thank you for your patience!

    I’m glad that the sites are back up!

    BTW that is so cool that you spell “center” as centre! I’m not being facetious.

      Of course he spelt it “centre” it is the right way after all :)

    So, what exactly was the problem? Because we are designers/developers, it would be good if you shared how you managed/resolved the situation, just in case we have the same problem.

    Collis, this is a easy fix! I’m hosted by the same company (Won’t list it, just in case if you wanting it hidden). Simply go to the wiki and check out the load balance section. You can order nodes from multiple data centers and have them load balance. If one data center goes down, the other nodes will hold the weight in till its back up.

    I think the data center is used by multiple hosting companies, and it’d be great to know the list of companies that use it – one of my hosts was one of them, and AFAIK, they are *still* having issues (I already migrated off at 4 in the morning and probably won’t be going back).

    Water + Hardware = BAD NEWS!

    Aha! Thanks for the heads up, I was wondering and was worried about what was going on. :)
