Yes we have added a badly needed server which is being custom built for Data 1 this morning.

The new server will be running the latest C-panel 11, Apache2, PHP5X and MySQL5X which is actually the platform that WowUltra is being developed on, it is what we run here in the lab at ultra.

Moving some customers to the new server will alleviate the problems we have been having for about half a week.

The problems we have been experiencing has been caused in part by substantial growth of a few key customers, and in part by an aggressive webbot campaign launched by Yahoo (the infamous slurp) which if you check your stats accounts for most of your guests in the past few days if you are hosted by Data 1. I'm attaching the graph for the Ultra public board.

So please bear with us as we balance things out.

Okay - I give up - what is the Yahoo Slurp?
If I just have a forum - no website - can it get me too?

Just a-wondering!

It's actually a "good thing", it is their automated system for crawling your site and to list the content on their search engine. They over did it there for a while in my opinion.
