[FINAL UPDATE] We’re down – This post will be for updates

Update 8/31/2024 @ 4:35PM SLT / 7:35PM EST:  The servers are stable and back online. The datacenter was under a heavy ddos attack which caused the issues. Everything should be good now as they mitigated the incident. Thank you again for your understanding & patience. –Lexxi

 

Update 8/31/2024 @ 11:33AM SLT / 2:33PM EST: The servers are up ** BUT ** they are laggy. So I wouldn’t recommend streaming on them currently. I am still awaiting for them to give a go ahead and everything is fixed by the datacenter. –Lexxi

 

Update 8/31/2024 @ 10:05AMSLT / 1:04PM EST: Im so sorry, they gave an all clear but the servers are down again. I am keeping an eye out and will keep you posted here on this page.

 

Update 8/31/2024 @ 9:07AMSLT / 12:07PM EST:

Servers are back online. The issue was a DDoS attack on the network which brought them down. I greatly apologize for the issues. I am looking into another datacenter to offer backups, etc. I will be looking for people to beta test new servers once I get them. Look for that notice here on this site. Thank you for your understanding & patience. I very much appreciate it more than you know. –Lexxi

 

We’re down. I’m m so sorry. I just woke up. It’s not you, it’s us. I put in an emergency ticket and am waiting for a response. Will keep everyone posted. I’ll be online shortly. –Lexxi

Servers Down – Updates will be posted here.

Update as of 8:37AM SLT / 11:37AM EST

I have received the all clear. I greatly apologize for the issues.

Thank you –LustyLexxi Larimore


Update as of 11:30AM SLT / 2:30PM EST

Both servers are back up and running. I have restarted all streams & AutoDJ streams. I am still awaiting an official all clear so stream at your discretion. Thank you for understanding the situation, very much appreciated.

Thank you –LustyLexxi Larimore


Update as of 7:49AM SLT / 10:49AM EST

They are slowly but surely getting power restored. They have many people trying to help this all be resolved by having well known providers who are affected have their own technicians on site to try to help to restore services faster. So far, server ending in 58 is currently online. I have restarted radios & autoDJ streams on that server. I am keeping a very close eye on this entire situation and giving updates as soon as I get any new information. I very much appreciate your understanding & patience with this. It definitely helps my stress levels lol.

Thank you –LustyLexxi Larimore


Update as of 6:37AM SLT / 9:37AM EST

There is a power outage (seems due to severe weather some have reported that happened overnight/this morning) where even the backup systems are not receiving power so everything that is supposed to have backup power (ie. All servers and equipment) is down. They have electrical engineers working to get everything restored as soon as possible. I highly advise to switching to a backup stream as there is no official ETA on when this will be resolved and this is DEFINITELY out of our control. But they are working to get it fixed as this is affected an entire datacenter which accounts for thousands of customers.

Thank you for understanding & your patience –LustyLexxi Larimore


UPDATE as of 9:08AM EST: “Indications show there is a power outage in the facility. We’ve reached out and are awaiting status updates.


I am aware that the servers are currently down. I have opened a ticket and messaged the owner on Discord to fix it asap. I will post updates here for when they are back online.

Thank you for understanding & your patience –LustyLexxi Larimore

ALL CLEAR: DATACENTER Emergency Maintenance

As of 4/25/2024 @ 3:03PM EST / 12:03PM SLT

ALL CLEAR!

The servers are back online. Thank you so much for your patience & understanding! I appreciate it more than you know.

–Lexxi

As of 4/25/2024 @ 9:20AM EST / 6:20AM SLT

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.

DATACENTER MOVE UPDATES, General Post, Maintenance Notices, Migration Update, Outages/Network Issues, Updates

Migration Progress

Hiya.

Server ending in 147 has been migrated (cp1.hostcrate.com). The backend admin parts I will be doing on Monday, December 18th, 2023 starting at 9AM SLT. This includes the DNS A records for the IP address for all domains including the control panel domain. The DNS change worldwide may take up to 24 to 48 hours. During DNS update, the browser may connect to the old server which will result invalid password so bear with us while the changes update. For future reference the new IP address is 172.111.49.58 and the control panel URL will remain the same, just changing the IP address as it is with a different datacenter.

The next server migration will be done soon as I have to order the server for this & have things setup in the backend. I will keep you all updated.

Any questions, concerns, issues PLEASE reach out to me as that is what I am here for.

P.S. you’ll be able to stream just fine as the old server will remain until the update of DNS on Monday is done and then you’ll need to update the IP address you use which is given in this post. Again, this is specific to those who are on server ending in IP address 147 / control panel url: cp1.hostcrate.com
