Maintenance Notices
Hiya!
Just sending out a notice everywhere that I will be performing server maintenance on September 8th, 2026 at NOON SLT. It should be about 30 minutes or less but if it lasts longer, I will keep you posted. An all clear notice will also be sent out once completed. You may not be able to log into your control panel nor be able to stream at this time so keep that in mind.
I will be doing stream terminations today, August 29th, 2026 at NOON SLT. Any stream that is in overdue/late status will be removed from the server. I do NOT reopen accounts that have been terminated unless they are a VIP License (that is the perk of having a VIP License) – regular streams are recycled. If you wish to keep your account please be sure to renew before I begin the terminations at NOON SLT today, August 29th, 2026.
Thank you

All backend functions have been completed. This migration is complete. Please switch your IP over asap. Please be patience as it takes a bit of time for DNS changes to be reflected.
Thank you

Hey there! I just wanted to give an update to this post. There have been many who have voiced their concerns in doing this. I apologize for causing any stress. I will make this easier on everyone and only update streams that are affected. What does this mean? It means that unless your port number causes an issue with other streams/ports at anytime in the future, only then will I change it.
Hopefully this helps to not cause anyone to panic. I will reach out to you if this happens and you’ll be able to chose your next port number (given it is available). I am again so sorry. Thank you for understanding. If you have issues, questions, concerns, etc please always reach out..it is what we are here for 🙂 ♥😊 –Lexxi

Hiya! If your port begins with anything outside the 8000 to 9999 range, I will *need* to change your port number to be within this range. Why? Because I was informed by the developers that ports outside that range can conflict with other systems in place: i.e. autodj functions (just had this issue with a customer). I will be reaching out to each person by IM & NC. Please don’t get too upset with me or give me grief as I cannot help it & this is the solution to preventing further issues from happening.
**Added: This will take me a bit to reach out to everyone so please be patient. Please note that if I don’t get a response within a few days, I will have to change it and move on to the next customer. I cannot hunt people down and I cannot have people telling me no because this isn’t an option, this is the only solution to fix the conflicting issue.
see developers response, in case there are those who happen not to believe me lol: https://gyazo.com/729b00b2077cd35c8b46187fd4457e21

Our website, hostcrate.stream /news.hostcrate.stream and our webhosting services we provide (this is SEPARATE from our streams) will be undergoing an update maintenance to CloudLinux 8 on July 28th starting at 10 PM Eastern Time until 2 AM Eastern Time given that everything goes as planned. While services may not be fully unavailable during the whole maintenance window – there will be long periods during the maintenance window when the servers are unresponsive so don’t be alarmed. We will keep you all posted via our Facebook page, SL Group notices, and in our Discord. Direct any questions to me, LustyLexxi Larimore
Again, this won’t affect streams as those are on completely separate servers. This only affects our website and our webhosting services (if you have webhosting with us).
Thank you,

Our website hosting provider for hostcrate.stream will updating the operating system on June 26th, 2024. They are scheduling downtime on June 26th, 2024 starting at 10PM EST (7PM SLT) until 2AM EST (11PM SLT). They expect the upgrade only to take approximately 2 hours, so they are scheduling a longer window just in case things don’t go as expected. ** THIS MAINTENANCE WON’T AFFECT STREAMS/STREAMING SERVICES** as our website is hosted outside our streaming servers specifically for reasons such as these or if our streams are down but we can keep you informed with our website.
To be specific:
Our website provider currently uses CloudLinux 7 and that reaches it’s End of Life [EoL] on July 1, 2024, so no further security updates or patches will be available after that date. Additionally, cPanel has stopped providing updates for CloudLinux 7, keeping us on a slightly older version lacking some of the newer features they’ve released recently.
This maintenance we will be upgrading to CloudLinux 8 which reaches its End of Life [EoL] on May 31, 2029, so they do not anticipate having to perform this kind of maintenance again for the next 5 years. They would love to go ahead and move to CloudLinux 9, however, cPanel’s support for CloudLinux 9 is experimental and not recommended for production environments.
While services will not be unavailable during the whole maintenance window – there will be long periods during the maintenance window when the server is unresponsive. They have tested these upgrades in their development and testing cluster and the process has gone smoothly but does take a fair bit of time. They will be taking every step possible to ensure this maintenance does not last any longer than necessary.
If you have any questions or concerns please reach out. Again, this maintenance is specific to our website, hostcrate.stream (which includes news.hostcrate.stream and any/all subdomains with hostcrate.stream).
Thank you,

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:
Our datacenter will be performing emergency maintenance which will result in our servers being down for up to 2 hours. They will begin this around 4PM SLT TODAY.
They will safely be powering down the servers before they begin the maintenance work. I will send notification when they have completed this emergency maintenance and/or any further details in regards to it.
Thank you,
