Need Donations
Posted by: Joel @ 2010-10-30 04:19:04
Due to hosting cost increases we are in need of donations. We have had some generous donations, however we are still shy of reaching our monthly need to cover the dedicated server. Due to an unforseen event, we cannot fully cover the cost of the server anymore. We hope this will change in the near future, however for now we humbly request your help to support us so we can continue to provide quality, high performance service!

New Hardware

Upgraded the server to new hardware. Static pages are now loading over 3x faster! This is a major improvement. Databases are even faster than before! This will give us plenty of room for long term growth!

Slow Query Logs
Posted by: Joel @ 2010-04-24 15:08:34
If you login and you notice you have a large amount of Slow Queries, this may be due to not having indexes on your table. Our system is configured to log queries not using indexes into the slow query logs. If this is the case, analyze your queries, add indexes where appropriate and this should aleviate those errors. If you don't know where to put them, feel free to email us.

New Layout
Posted by: Joel @ 2010-02-28 15:43:31
Rolled out new layout change. This has been a long anticipated change and had been put on the back burner for a while. There will be some soon to come signup changes including one step setups!

New Site Design
Posted by: Joel @ 2009-12-29 09:07:45
Getting ready to roll out the new layout very soon. Will have new graphing functionality and reports for any slow queries, or queries you are using that dont have indexes. Remember to index your tables for optimization, if you use a column in a WHERE statement or ORDER BY Statement make sure to ALTER TABLE -tablename- ADD KEY (column_name). We will be implementing FusionCharts very soon as well for some added look and feel
