Stream Terminations Schedule

Tomorrow on Tuesday March 19th will be the beginning of the new terminations schedule. I will be doing terminations of accounts that are in overdue status. We no longer have a grace period so if your stream/account is overdue any amount of time, you risk termination. I do not reopen regular accounts as that perk is reserved for VIP Licenses (it is called reactivations).

Terminations will be every Tuesday and Thursday (T days for Termination if that helps to remember)

If you have any questions, etc please feel free to reach out.

–Thank you

Stream Terminations & Grace Periods

To manage my time….
Mon, Mar 04 2024 1:14:20 PM PST

I decided that I will be doing stream terminations every Tuesday & Thursday. If your stream is in overdue status, you are at risk of losing your stream. There will no longer be a 3 day grace period after March 18th, 2024. HOWEVER, if ever you may need an extension you can request it by contacting me directly – it will be on a case by case situation. (most likely granted)

Thank you

If you have an SHX board(s) or know someone who does, they may need to get an update to their boards. They will need to reach out to nevermind72 Resident to get that update. I am
** NOT ** the creator, part of their staff or etc so I cannot fix their boards. But I did reach out & they said board owners will need to reach out to them to get the update so I am relaying that message.

Thank you –Lexxi

A friendly Reminder

Hi there! This is just a friendly reminder that tomorrow February 18th is my RL birthday so I will be taking the day off. I may still sign online but I won’t be working. I will put anything work related in a to do list on my phone if you do reach out for assistance. IF you are doing an event/gig, please be sure to send me an IM to see if I can make it as if I can, I will! 💖

In this post as the p.s., I said I would put in my wishlist but the site I use is currently switching to another payment processor so instead I just put out myself a Happy Birthday section at my office with cake & other yummy snacks that you’re more than welcome to. I left a tip jar out next to it if you were planning to use the wishlist this year but can’t, sorry about that. ** NEVER ** an obligation and I ** NEVER ** expect anything but I do get asked and that is the reason I put the option out there as people in this world are just simply generous humans and want to show kindness, love, & support to other humans.

That was all. Thank you for reading.

Our Plan Updates

As most of you know by now our pricing went into affect back on November 17th, 2023. I have put off with those plans we no longer have available to have people choose another plan. That time has now come.

For our regular stream plans: We no longer have the intro plan so you can either go with the budget plan or upgrade to the club plan. Whatever time is on your account will remain and you won’t have to pay the difference nor will you be refunded if you choose to downgrade.

For our VIP License stream plans: We no longer have the standard / intro plan so you can downgrade to our VIP Budget License or upgrade to the 5GB VIP License. Whatever time is on your account will remain and you won’t have to pay the difference nor will you be refunded if you choose to downgrade.

I will reach out by direct IM and leave a notecard to customers who are on those plans. You’ll have until January 31st, 2024. If I don’t get a reply, I’ll upgrade you.

Why upgrade? Because those plans have space & autodj and if I were to downgrade you then you’d lose access to your AutoDJ and the music you’ve uploaded & playlists would be gone so just in case someone wanted to be upgraded but didn’t reach out, you’d not have to worry that you lost all that hard work. I hope that makes sense.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me.

Thank you,

Hiya,

A quick heads up of the following dates that Hostcrate may be closed and I may be unavailable (unless servers are down etc)

–January 5th: I know this day has passed but this is my mom’s death day. I will always take this day off as it is a difficult day for me.

February 14th: Valentine’s Day. Need I say more? lol I won’t be online & Hostcrate will be closed.

February 18th: This is my real life birthday. I do my best to celebrate but it’s a hard day as my mom had passed the month before my birthday month 🙁 so it’s a difficult day just for that reason alone.
If you feel inclined/generous….*causally drops this https://www.wishtender.com/lustylexxilarimore

DATACENTER MOVE UPDATES, General Post, Maintenance Notices, Migration Update, Updates

FINAL UPDATE: Migration Complete!

Hiya. The migration of the servers to the new datacenter has been completed. The DNS update may take a few days to reflect as being changed. Please be sure to change the IP address in your encoder if you software requires you to use an IP address to connect to your stream for live broadcasting. All data should of been copied right over to the new server including all playlists & autodj settings. Please let me know if anything is messed up including if your port # isn’t working properly so that I can work on fixing it. If you don’t report a problem to me, I don’t know that it is broken/an issue.

For those on server that was cp1.hostcrate.com /cp3.hostcrate.net –  IP ending in 147, the IP for that server is now 172.111.49.58
The control panel control panel URL will remain the same, your username, password, & port. Everything, EXCEPT the IP address, will stay the same.

For those on server that was cp2.hostcrate.rocks IP ending in 242 – the IP for that server is now 172.99.148.138
The control panel control panel URL will remain the same, your username, password, & port. Everything, EXCEPT the IP address, will stay the same.

Thank you,
