They seem to be down again for the same reason. Redundancy would be money well spent.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. We came under 2 simultaneous attacks, and have spent the time isolating them, and working with the upstream providers to block them. The router is fine, and we have backups in place in the event of a failure. Everything stipulated on our website is correct, and both the AT&T and Sprint lines are being upgraded very soon. We are awaiting the completion of the circuts from local LECs (Local Exchange Carriers) to upgrade the lines. The fiber should be completed on Thursday of this week, and we're scheduled for next week to have the OC3's completed. We're sorry for the inconvenience to everyone, and are working to ensure that this is not a regular occurrance. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

No, They're up. They're still being flooded but however, they're up. I talked to Lyron on AIM and they're working on it.

We are in the same boat.

It's been over 12 hours now. Connection resolves very slow when it's not down.

Maybe burst can comment anything?
last month uptime/quality is hell

We've phoned their support twice - they are working on resolving the issue.

I can personally deal with our web site being down, I just feel bad for our customers. Being down for more than half a day is crucial to any business. :uhh:

Yeah, issue resolved.
Reason: upgrading DS3 ATT to OC3

Funny...we have never had an order placed by an "Ashley Shea". Joined the forum just to post this one line comment huh?

I never use my real name on message boards. I play it a lot safer than that on the web. I guess your name is BurstNet?

Well, you have to see his point, nameless acusations are common here, if you goign to put them down, at least say who you are

AshleyShea
04-30-2002, 04:44 PM
Ummm..Why? Can't they look into my account and see who I am?

And...I didn't make any accusations. Just said I wish I had known of the problems here.

Seems a lot of time is being spent on someone who just wanted to know the facts. I didn't say anything negative about the site as previous posters have....and nothing was said to them.

I find this very strange.

Hm ... I clicked on your www link below, and walah ... I got your real name (and picture of you too), unless if those are not a real "real name/picture" :D

Yep...it's my picture...but not my real name.

And...the point is?

Isn't this site supposed to be about web hosting?

Yes, but it seems that allot of peopel have fun just bashing hosts just becuase they are big or bigger

WHT while a great place, has been attracting his share of wannabees and jeleous people that love to sign under a new name to bash the competion

As a host, I would be a bit more concerned about making my service reliable so that no one had anything to complain about.

I had no idea when I went with 2MHost that they used Burstnet. In doing research now, I am discovering that I am not the only one who is not satisfied with Burstnet. I wasted quite a bit of money registering my domain with 2MHost only to find that sometimes my customers could get e-mail through to me, sometimes they could make it to my site, and sometimes they couldn't. As a business person, my web/e-mail host has to be up and running MOST of the time. Otherwise, what's the point?

<< Any news burst bringing new OC-3 to there datacenter.>>


CTSI installed the optical equipment to the new fiber yesterday. The Sprint OC3 should be live by late next week, and the OC3 to 401 N. Broad in Philly (still unannounced backbone(s)..) will be live shortly following. Our new Cisco 12000 series router should be arriving mid next-week, to handle this additional capacity. Also, we have a Powerware 160KVA facility-wide UPS system being installed within the next 4-6 weeks. The AT&T OC3 upgrade is scheduled for 6-8 weeks from now, shortly after the PPL Telcom fiber is installed.

The Nocster are coming! The Nocster are coming!
Stay tuned for an announcement on Nocster within the next few days!
