I think the server was unstable due to a bad install of the OS, maybe even an improperly formatted hard drive.

So is relying on and then complaining about a free service ;). But seriously, I posted the problem in my new forums (hey, as a good note, got to go to phpbb2 eh?). I believe the server now to be stable, the problem is simply trying to salvage Muttle at this point. I do not doubt the growth...

Hotlinking is not allowed. I have no desire for thousands of kids with an obsession for flashing dbz avatars calling themselves vegeta54362 on a forum sapping my bandwith :).

Oh no, I see a trend too xamax! First, businesses that aren't making money are going out of business. That's ludicrous! Then, ISPs that have spammers are kicking them, even after they signed up for the free 45 day trial that they unfairly got cut from! I can see it too man, next is going to...

How exactly do you "optimize" YaBB? If you could tell me I'd be grateful as I run it myself.

YaBB is a resource hog, I can imagine your host becoming quite angry at you if it is popular.

It's too bad really, they were my first sponsor, back when they had a simple page without any popups. They kind of degraded over time.

So, if you need it free, what makes a mailing list service not useable for your "mailing list"?

Wait, in my Cisco course I think I remember something about bandwith being the theoretical maximum, and throughput being the actual speed that is achieved. :) Data transfer is just a measure of all the stuff sent through the pipe. You can transfer 2 gigabytes on a OC48, or 200 gigabytes on a...

It's an adult service, you can't really complain about adult ads.

Luckily, I found out from my host that I can in fact purchase access to the remote reboot port, so I can essentially have my server up whenever I want. That should help uptime tremendously :).

The ad system is in perl, but it's all running on mod_perl, and I benchmarked it to about 15x improvement over running it without mod_perl. I have built in caching systems making delivery much faster, and the resource drain really isn't too bad at all. I just made a small mistake that caused the...

Well life would be too easy if another freehost said to their competition: "You know what, that offer's pretty good now that I think about it" ;). The server dying wasn't a result of ftp, it was result of a bug in the adserving that caused a loop and apache committed suicide. Swan dive right...

If you can settle for not using SSI, I can fill your other requirements.

Muttle doesn't support the large files, but the domain pointing part will work with either Muttle or any of its hosts, since they all support domain hosting now.
