Apparently the new uber server will sort it. I have my doubts though as they said that last time!

 

Pretty sure we haven't actually changed server yet. There was a test a while back but nothing came of it.

Slow for me too, went off to a few other websites for a while and couldn't get back in, just kept getting a google message that no data was being received, along the lines of saintsweb unresponsive etc, and to try again later. I only ever get this message from this website.

Yes it was shocking.

I'm so glad I dont pay for this!

 

I was going to this season, but on this friendly match there must have been between 100 - 150 logged on users at any one time...Just think what it will be like on a match day then....

 

Time for the ower to get this hosted in the cloud as the "pcs" hosting it, I mean servers are not up for it.

If you were contracted to host this site with no down time you would be paying service credits to the customer now not them paying you.

 

Totally unprofessional really.

As there were only 7,000 ish at the match I'd be inclined to think there might be more, rather than less, online.

 

Disagree as people probably dont care about the game. What is it going to be like on an away game ?!?! This issue needs to be sorted out before the start of the season.

Everyone will flock to Twitter and the BBC text updates. Shame really.

WBA are highly desireable premiership opposition. I doubt very much that any away game (perhaps with the exeption of a cup final or away legs in the play-offs) would excite our fanbase so much. The next big test is Kettering v Saints U21 this evening.

^This.

 

Faffing around with 'in-house' servers is a tad 20th century. Time to stop playing catch-up with every server "upgrade" I would venture.

 

IMHO of course.

Hardly. Personallly I had no interest in the game, in fact I still don't know the final result. Interested to read how De Ridder did on that thread but haven't even opened the WBA match thread. Don't care. I doubt I am alone.

The "cloud" concept looks and sounds nice but I'm yet to find a solution that is both cost-effective and doesn't involve downtime when you need to switch between different hardware configurations. One that I looked at last year told me that an upgrade to additional server nodes would be almost instantaneous, but that a downgrade back to the normal level could result in downtime of up to an hour. That's a situation I'm not prepared to accept.

 

We will be trying out a new enterprise-level server, which will be identical to the servers I use here at work. These servers support a number of high-traffic sites (much more so than SaintsWeb), and will have the company's sysadmin managing the hardware for us, so my relatively modest server admin knowledge won't be needed.

 

It's requiring a fair bit of investment, but it stacks up financially as long as the current levels of membership and advertising revenue are maintained.
