ALL CLEAR: DATACENTER Emergency Maintenance

Server ending in 58 is currently back online. Server ending in 138 is still being worked on. –Lexxi

As of 4/25/2024 @ 1:11AM EST / 10:11PM SLT

It is a networking issue that the datacenter wasn’t expecting. They have their technicians working hard to get the issue resolved and the server back online. They will let me know when it has been fixed. I cannot stay awake any longer as it is 1AM in the morning for me, I need to get some sleep. Hopefully by the time I wake up or when I wake up to go pee (it happens lol), the servers will be back online. I will update you as soon as I wake up whether or not there are any further details. Please, if anyone asks via SL, FB, Discord, etc, refer them to this post. This site is NOT on our servers and is hosted elsewhere for this exact reason – so I can communicate with everyone  even when servers are down. As you can obviously see, that it is a bright idea to do so.

I will, again, update you soon as I wake up. I appreciate everyone being so understanding and GREATLY beyond words appreciate your patience.

A friendly reminder:

Fri, Apr 05 2024 12:01:56 PM PDT

Celebrating 16 years (early lol)!!

Important Note: Please follow the instructions to redeem. No refunds will be given, no exceptions.

We are celebrating our 16th birthday here at Hostcrate a whole month early. We will be officially 16 years old come May 4th, 2024. This is also my chihuahua’s, Jazzie, 14th birthday (will be celebrating her bday too with a doggie cake & treats)! The following sales will be available through May 5th, 2024. Full transparency: I am running these specials to be able to celebrate this milestone in RL by taking my incredibly supportive husband out to a nice dinner & a movie. He has been there to help me get through some tough struggles through these last 16 years….the migrations, the sudden force of having to leave not one but two datacenters, the list goes on. Without YOU AND HIM, Hostcrate wouldn’t be here. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the last 16 years. You guys really do mean so much to me, I love you all!

 ͟H͟A͟L͟F͟ ͟O͟F͟F͟ ͟Y͟E͟A͟R͟L͟Y͟ ͟S͟P͟E͟C͟I͟A͟L͟!

To redeem ANY OF THESE SALES, please contact LustyLexxi Larimore directly. A vendor will be set out for you to pay if using L$. If in USD, you’ll be requested for an email for a PayPal invoice to be sent. This sale has a hard limit of only 2 years* to be redeem in total. No forms to fill out & you’ll be given a notecard receipt (a receipt via email as well if using USD).  Sale ends May 5th, 2024. Important Note: Please do not renew before being told to do so. Please do not send me direct payments either. There will be no refunds, no exceptions.

Wanna make this a BOGO offer AND make a difference in the world? Simply donate L$1,500 /$6 USD to our RFL kiosk. Please only do this once you are asked to so I can keep track properly. No refunds, no exceptions (can’t give refunds because the funds go straight to the RFL account not to me).

1: You’ll be able to renew at the 1 year price above AND get 1 year free.

2: Your hard limit will be tripled, up to 6 years total.

Example: You donate L$1,500 to our RFL kiosk at our office. You renew at the vendor I set out up to 3 times so you’ll get 3 years on us as the BOGO and you hit the total hard limit of 6 years total while making a difference raising funds for RFL in the process. YAY!

If you have any questions, etc please reach out to me directly LustyLexxi Larimore.

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

silly p.s. haha but I fit a notice here in full for once LOL
