No Longer Using Skype

No Longer Using Skype
Sat, Feb 01 2020 10:37:34 AM PST

I am sad to say that we, Hostcrate, will no longer be using Skype. SOME staff may have it as an option but as a whole in the company, I will not be using it. Skype hasn’t been properly sending me your messages (until like a week later) and that is a major problem as you all are aware I answer quickly when I receive messages even while feeding my face! I have switched to Discord:

My handle is LustyLexxi Larimore#4863

Feel free to add me or our Hostcrate group contact me directly for an invite. Thank you!

Today’s Reboots: Complete

At 5pm SLT today, our scheduled reboots were completed. On January 6th, a notice was sent that the server 147 reboot was rescheduled for today so both servers were done. If you don’t have premium support, you must log into your control panel and click the green start button. Don’t forget to type in your information and never copy/paste. If you have premium support services, your stream has been started for you.

We do our very best to keep everyone informed by having multiple ways of checking from in Second Life group notices, inworld kiosk, our facebook page, and to this website. I do my best to send out reminder notices as well just in case anyone may have forgotten the maintenance schedule. I’m not sure how else to keep everyone informed so if there is another idea you wish for us to add please reach out to me directly with your suggestion. We never want anyone to feel left in the dark and that is the reason this website exists and all of the other options.

Thank you!

Please read: Important

Jan 1st thru 6th 2020, I will be offline. I will come on to prevent SL capping but I will essentially be unavailable. This is an extremely hard time for me with the 1 year anniversary of my mom’s death so I am not in a very good headspace and I honestly need to take a break for my mental heath. Please understand that I will not be ignoring anyone….I will be forwarding any issues to my staff to assist you in my absence. I will handle any server issues there may be and this will only be a temporary leave on my part. I apologize in advance.

Thank you for understanding and your patience with me.

Keeping Hostcrate in business

Hey There! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read what I have to say – I appreciate it so very much!

With all the changes that have happened this year in 2019, it has been quite the journey to say the least. From Second Life increasing their processing fees by double to the Cpanel company increasing their pricing AND tacking on a per account fee … to the most heartbreaking things to happen to me in my personal life with the death of my mom on 1/5/2019 to the death of someone I thought of as my sister, Sage, on 8/9/2019. This year has been a rocky roller coaster.

We’re looking ahead though for 2020. I’m creating this post to have a go to to those who ask me about how they can support me, and support Hostcrate which has been around since 2008 and that is my heart, blood, sweat, and tears! I have listed below all the things you can do if you would like to support us.

-Purchase/Renew your streams

-Bring a friend/coworker/etc to us

-Become a Patron on Patreon – You can help us reach our goals

-Purchase our merch – Allow me to share a picture of you wearing it & get a free week of service! Sales goes back into Hostcrate

-Tip our staff members

-Become a RL customer: contact me for pricing

Those are what can help us stay in business. I will add further if there is anything else I can think of.

Without YOU, we wouldn’t be around so THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

STREAM TERMINATIONS UPDATE

STREAM TERMINATIONS UPDATE
Mon, Dec 16 2019 12:42:32 PM PST

Hey there! I will be performing stream terminations every Monday, Wednesday, & sometimes Friday. IF you are overdue by any amount of time, you risk losing your stream so please pay attention to the time left on your rental. For non-license accounts, we will NOT reopen your box or recreate that account as that defeats the point behind our lifetime licenses. I will begin stream terminations in about 10 minutes. Come by & check your account if you aren’t sure: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lawton/1/240/48

Scheduled Reboot at 5PM
Mon, Dec 09 2019 3:25:32 PM PST

I will be rebooting both servers at 5PM SLT (PST). Typically this is the reboot day (2nd Monday of the month) for server ending in 242 BUT I missed last weeks reboot for server 147 due to RL so I will be doing that reboot today as well. If you have premium support your stream will be turned on for you just be patient. If you don’t, you have to login to your control panel & click the green start button – Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YJn6-wKKRQ4

Update about the rental boxes

UPDATE TO THIS POST: FIND YOUR RENTAL BOX
Fri, Dec 13 2019 2:41:43 AM PST

Today, I created a short how to video on finding your rental box. I sincerely hope that this helps. Thank you for your patience!

The video can be watched at: https://youtu.be/sOe2ALCF30Q

Thank you
LustyLexxi Larimore

 

Hello everyone. I have now learned that the creator of the system we use to allow you to find your box has passed away in RL. There is no news on what may happen to his business as of yet but the support rep that was close to and is working as a rep still has passed on the message that we need an update hud to be able to update the locations of all the rental boxes so no one is TP’d to their old box location. Please be patient as in the meantime while we wait to get that hud…I will be personally sending out a notecard that will include your new box location then you’ll be able to create a landmark from that. I will be going in alphabetical order. This may take a few days or so.

A huge thank you to Mysti Nowles, the support rep for helping!

From all of us at Hostcrate – both staff & customers – Rest in peace Darrius Gothly!

Thank you
LustyLexxi Larimore
