my website is running slower and slower.
today i run a reverse IP lookup at my domain hosted with powweb.
and found out that the same server is hosting more than 9600 domains.
i have other hosting plan that i run the same reverse IP shows only 700-1000 domains at the server i am using.
don't you think this is too much! Pls explain.
not really happy with the speed i getting.
The accuracy (or rather INACCURACY) of the reverse IP lookups has been discussed fully before. On a load balanced system you're not on ONE server with 9599 others.
The speed you're getting, as you well know, is down to the problems with MySql servers.
Maybe he got confused and 9600 is the baud rate of the modem hooked up to the server!
:)
Hey Doc,
Some of these folks might be too young to even remember that!!! LOL
I sure do not miss them annoying tones right before a connection was made!!! LOL
I remember when I first started in the IT industry, we were optioning Racal-Vadic 4800 buad modems for customer use! We had to go into each one and switch some jumpers around to force the speed down.
And I won't going the great wool pants, shorted modems problem!
It feels like Powweb is running at 9600 most of the time...
Hehe..
"Welcome to PowWe---
NO CARRIER
Heck...I remember the first times I used to connect with a modem to other computers was with a 1200 baud modem...then a 2400 not long after...
I'm just 31 years old...
Meh...I remember it too...just didn't want to go that far in stone age...LOL
...and my first pet was a pterodactyl. Mind you, I was very young at the time.
When I was a kid they hadn't even turned on the lights yet! We had to play in the dark and we liked it!! :D

I was using a 300 baud acoustic coupler in 1983 to read bulletin boards.
I can remember using 300 baud for something, around 1983. It's so long ago I can't remember what it was for though. ;)

Actually, I found those weird tones quite entertaining. At least you knew something was happening. If WLAN is messed up you're left to quietly sorting it out. No big hooray once it's back up.
That used to be true of loading files on the Commodore Pet from tape, or the ZX81 or Spectrum. All computers from the 1980's. You could hear them load, you got to recognise when the loading wasn't going to work and you had to alter the volume.
Back when I first started in Data Communications, we had 3 cabinets filled with racked modems sorted according to speed. Customer who wanted faster access paid more. We always kept the volumes adjusted very low otherwise it would drive you wonky!
The racks did look pretty cool with the lights turned off in the room and seeing people call in. Sort of our own personal light show.

My first computer was the Timex Sinclare 2000 and ya played games off of a cassette.
Commodore 64 here and yep, you played off a cassette. When I worked for Radio Shack, the TRS-80 was the new item (or as we called it the TRaSh-80).

VIC-20 was my first PC. I just sold off the last of it a couple years ago. I still have a dead SX-64. I hear the case is in demand for installing current hardware.
I miss the good ol' days when a joystick and one control button was all that was needed for a game not some controller gizmo with 900 buttons, two itsy joystick thingys and requires a degree in engineering to figure out!!
the TRS-80 was the new item
That was my first computer!
What a piece of crap indeed!
This is cool, It seems some folks here are actually in my age group! LOL
Now lets see if we have any REAL nerds:
Did you ever flip a 5 1/4" floppy upside down, punched a hole with a hole punch, and doubled the capacity????
What was it about that bottom side that always took a bit longer to format???
Uh, yep. Even bought a special punch to do that and the reason it always took longer was because 9 times out of 10 they were glitchy!!
Anyone ever had any experience with an 8" floppy disk?
Anyone ever had any experience with an 8" floppy disk?
oooooooohhhh yes..... and then when they truly did not work for data storage/retrieval, they were far too large to be a coaster for drinks, and too floppy to be a sandwich plate. The 3½ diskettes do make great coasters, and bases for small solar robotic creations.

My first computer had switches and LED's, you had to program in machine code, in binary.
<sigh> I used to sit around flicking switches all night.
On that crappy little thing, I programmed my first computer controlled sign, about 100+ switched peices of neon tubing. It was the first computer controlled Coca Cola sign in Sydney.
I wire wrapped all the circuitry on a big bakalite panel.
I don't think I would have the patience to do that now, I hardly have the patience to wait for XP to boot up.

charlesgan,
my site is running only with 700 others, I feel kind of lonely.

I still got one of them Tandy200 with a portable printer and a packet controller.
Got it form a sing shop I worked at. Back in the day they had them in all the trucks and could print work orders from almost anywhere. [place had it own 2-300ft TV tower to broadcast from] The packet controller work via CB radio to get the data back n fourth.
Only semi neat thing about it is the packet controller and Bill Gates wrote several of the programs on the Tandy200 himself.

My first job, I used 8" Single-Sided Floppy, CP/M encoded (the Dos precursor!) -- they contained satellite imaging data and "descriptive text strings" in German --- LOL. I had to write a floppy disk driver for the PC AT to read the disks into something more modern and useful --- aka Visicalc! Those were the days ...
We used the 8" floppies for an IBM 7171 controller to run Televideo 900 series dumb terminals off the IBM 370 mainframe.
I long for the days when the easiest way to fix problems was that little IPL button!!!
I remember Visicalc, still have my old original copy (on a 360K 5 1/4 floppy).
You can still get Visicalc, HERE (http://www.bricklin.com/history/vcexecutable.htm)

Yeah, I remember connecting to Compu$erve at 1200 baud, then starting to visit BBS's using BitCom (possibly the worst comm program ever sold)

The speed you're getting, as you well know, is down to the problems with MySql servers.
well now here's a simple fix.. just put the Mysql servers back the
way they were when you guys bought PW.
voila! problem solved. :D
-soundwash
Putting things back the way they were isn't an option. The hardware is different, in a different location and State as well as the software being run on different OS.
How exactly would you suggest they 'put it back to the way it was'? Powweb didn't buy the hardware, just the business and customer base.
Uh, I think you mean Powweb didn't buy...etc. Whatever the case, rolling back is not an option as Ian said.
New Powweb didn't buy off old-powweb, yes.
That would sort of be like when shooting Die Hard, Fox rented itself Fox Plaza for the filming at Nakatomi Plaza. Hmmm...if Fox didn't pay Fox for leasing Fox property, would Fox take Fox to court and sue for breach of contract?
Damn...I need coffee.
Has this gone 'Off-topic' enough yet to close it and ban the naughty posters who chatted off topic?
