Switch wrote:Saturday night the server locked up ( mysql crashed, immediately dropped successful SSH connections, ignored reboot command ) and had to be rebooted manually. I was unable to get to the data center until this morning. From this morning to 17:00 CST, cocide was performing a remote backup, after which I started the web server again.
Hopefully this was a one-time glitch ( though my cynicism doubts it ), and the server doesn't cause any more trouble. Regardless, all the Pfhorums data is fully backed up and will continue to back up remotely.

I believe my email address can be found ( and saved ) on my Pfhorums user page. I won't include it here, or it will be displayed publicly and collected by spam bots.

1) Could Switch or cocide give an itemized list on what does it cost per year to maintain the Pfhorums (bandwidth, domain name, server maintenance)?
2) Are the recent failures in any way due to parts getting old (i.e. hard drive errors, old cooling fans, etc.)
Once we know how much things cost per year, maybe we can set up a donation to ensure that these services are up for the next few years. I did a quick search, and found that PayPal has a donation feature.

Holy shit that is awesome. Definitely. If I don't do this in the next couple weeks, send me a harassing email or something.
