Johnny Down

I'm wondering the same thing. Johnny is terrible at uptime, but he's not usually this bad.

 

I'd recommend once he comes back online that you back everything up and move to Stevie. Stevie has much better performance and uptime than Johnny.

They shouldn't get dropped. Just gotta wait until he comes back up to get them. If you look at the historical data on the monitor, you can see the Stevie vs. Johnny performance comparison: http://heliohost.grd.net.pl/monitor/ The only time I recommend Johnny is if you really need the features he has.

 

We're also in the process of setting up a new server that will offer Johnny's features with Stevie's performance levels. Soon enough it'll be possible to have the best of both worlds. :)

I registered with Johnny b4 it went down for multiple days and now I've moved to Stevie except my domain name is still parked on Johnny and I cant even login to undo it due to johnnys awful performance for the last few days. How am I suppose to even move to stevie if johnny cant even be online for a few hours a day.

You can't. :( Gotta wait until he comes back up.

Good idea! But Stevie has only PHP 5.3, but I need at least 5.4 :(/>

Try an older version of whatever program you're using. Most things have a version that runs on 5.3.

Yeah, my site is custom too (though mine is actually written for 5.2 being made in 2011). I will tell you though that you'd be better off spending the time redoing it than putting up with the terrible performance on Johnny. Even when not crashed, Johnny's uptime is <80%...and slow when he's up.

 

Is there really that much in your site's code that can't run on 5.3? I've seen very few things made for 5.4 that couldn't be made to work with 5.3...

You know that old saying: "You get what you pay for?" Well, HelioHost is changing that around. Our feature set beats out most professional web hosts, yet we come without a price tag. PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails... all for free.

 

5 days of johnny offline. Seems we are getting what we paid for. I don't see anything revolutionary here.
