Has Dave found the worlds most unreliable web-host?

[PeterG]

It seems this host is anything but stable. I see a lot of "Service Unavailable" and "database not found" errors. The error state does not seem to last long but it does seem to happen with high frequency.

Or has my router become Forum Phobic?

Yes, Sitecloud.com are having massive systemic problems with their interface to the Amazon cloud.
They are working frantically on it and hope to have it all fixed by this weekend.
It's not just my site that is affected.

Yeah, today seems to have had particularly high unavailability.
Not that I spend my day on eevblog or anything :-)

I've had no trouble with Amazon's S3 service -- I use it to offsite all
my digital photos automatically. 

Never tried their EC2 service though, but since Amazon is just reselling
their own excess capacity, I have to think their service is reliable.
Then again, who thought chase.com would be down for more than a
day, a massive oops by a $2T bank.

Sitecloud have admitted it's a bug in their software, so nothing to do with the reliability of the Amazon cloud network.

This question gets asked every day, I imagine you're fed up with answering it.

Perhaps there should be a banner somewhere which links to a page offering an explanation?

people like armandas or avrfreaks should stand up to help our Admin out!

You do love this forum , your interest about the resolution its the proof .

Still its best to be patience , and wait .
Those issues what ever they are , they are related in to hardware level ,
the " software bug "  , its just an excuse ..

End so lets give them some time to do their repair ,  as soon they do that ,
we could compare the general  behavior of the service with similar ones ,
and spot any hick-ups .

At the current status , even the forum transfer in to another server , its impossible.
And I speak from my experiences .

How do you come to that conclusion? Sitecloud rent virtual machine instances on Amazon's network. All other Amazon customers are unaffected by this particular problem. Therefore it's a problem in the configuration of Sitecloud's server instance.
