It affects you guys by not being able to run any servers, the new server will be the only option.. The old one was going to be let off slowly by not accepting new servers and just letting the ones on there run until the're unpaid.   Looks like thats not happening.  Sorry for the abrupt service termination.. The CPU was pulling too much power for the motherboard to handle it for very long (It was a pretty economy board), and it seems to have bit the dust.

The data is safe though, After the new server is ready I can start up your old VPSs(for a few days) if you need any data off of them.  

The new server has different rates and different drive sizes and memory.

I'll do everything I can to make this smooth, at the very least, it was at the end of the rental period.   Undecided

Any other questions?  Smiley

What are the rates? because we will have to be paying these new rates, right?

There is not direct "The needy is now 2BTC" conversion, they're different sizes and other specs.. I planned on running these side by side, but looks like its not happening.  I posted a few pages back about planned rates and sizes, they've slightly changed, I've been making a simple web page for the servers' plans.  http://www.gasp-site.com/vps/  See "Harmony" (please note the rates are subject to change)

Your server also will not be moved, I'll boot them if you need for you (or anyone) to move the data off and onto a new one or elsewhere.  The new server should be far faster though.

So do I need to not send my monthly payment? I'm also kinda confused.

Do not send the payment, the server's motherboard (likely) is shot..The new server will be ran as planned..

I think I will be leaving the system VPS free though, so if anyone needs data off of it, after the new system is up, i can temporary start the VPS up.  New system will still go as planned =)

Wait. I haven't been following much. What does this mean and how does it affect us?

I have a new server nearly ready to get the OS and VPSs installed and running, a faster one.  The first one is having major hardware issues, likely motherboard, and I wont be able to get a replacement board for quite a while.

It would appear that the server is having a memory error.. I need to do some work with it, but first i have to go to work.  It wont boot, it errors while POSTing, and wont display anything any more..

First restart went all the way to OS Boot, but no luck.  Second one locked up while scanning the drives, thrid wont kick on video.. Progressively worse...  Angry

I'll take a look at it when I get home, sorry for the inconvenience.  

Note on Payments: Hold off on them until I can get this back up

Edit: 4 beeps, not 3, so could be a motherboard fail =<


=( Good luck finding the error! Try the equipment with other MBs? Or maybe the CPU failed Oo... but I don't think it would achieve that series of problems. MB was probably strained for sending too much power to CPU for too long of a time.

Thats what i am thinking, it wasn't an expensive motherboard...

As for testing, I don't have AM3 parts to test with, but I'll fool around with the 3 ram sticks to ensure its not them.  

On a comical note, I walked to the door of the shop (my work) and my boss came out rushed (lots 3 deliveries 'first thing') and said "Back computer wont boot, stays black" I Just say "Its going to be one of those days?"  It turned on normally though....Idk what his issue was.

Billing for this cycle will be at $5/BTC, please figure out your payment and send it to the last address, if you have questions or problems don't hesitate to PM me or catch me on IRC.

Payments due on the 1st as usual, I'll contact the ones who have not sent a payment to see if they seen this.  Wink

Sending everyone a PM is a big hassle and I am lacking time lately.  The new server will operate at a fixed bitcoin rate, not based on USD.  That should lighten the billing on my end. 

Everyone, thank you for your support.

The new server is all ready except one eps12v adapter that should arrive on monday.  Thank you for your patience.  Roll Eyes

Just an update on the Server Plan.  I've found deals that have lowered the cost down to $784.72 vs $859.97 before cooling.  +$40 for a cooler, which i need to get, so 814.62 With the cooler.  I think this will be the best deal so far, Still need to find a PSU, estimating $50-$80.

About $75 has been gathered from Donations, Rentals, and Mining.  Our finances are looking up this month too, so everything going well.
 
Thought I'd let everyone know Cheesy.  The deals will likely change by the time the server is ordered, but they are out there.

Our Goal will be $900.  Enough to cover any possible non-deals there may be.

Goal: $900
Earned: $75
Current Out of Pocket Expense needed: $825
(this will be added to the front page)

Server seems to be down (or IP was changed). http://www.isup.me/50.52.21.166

Any info?

works for me...

Fixed now. It's possible it was an issue on my end, but I didn't change anything, and I can connect now...

Oh well, no matter.

EDIT: And the isup.me was useless in either case; no HTTPD is running. My bad. I couldn't ping it earlier, but it's fixed now.

Not sure what the issue would of been, i haven't needed to touch the computers, and my internet hasn't been down once.  Glad its fixed though  Grin
