Re: Site down recently?

Sorry for the late reply. I didnt realize this thread till now. The problem lately has been a massive spam attack on my email account which is placed on the same server as the website. I had the hosting crew spend the entire week fixing this problem and things should run smoother now.

What happened was that my email account became over 10 gigs full of spam which crashed the database. I dont think this should happen anymore.

Also please note that once a day for approx 10-20 minutes I run an automatic backup on the database. This will cause the site to slow down slightly during this time.

Sorry about the errors... I am no IT guy so have a hard time fixing things.
