NEXT SERVER REBOOT

NEXT SERVER REBOOT
Sat, Jul 15 2023 12:29:47 PM PDT

When: July 17th,  2023 at 8AM SLT
Tweaks/updates will be performed during this reboot
Premium Support is now INCLUDED in all of our plans so I will personally turn on your stream for you immediately after reboots so you don’t have to worry about it.

Server reboots typically takes less than 10 minutes unless otherwise noted that it is for updates by me specifically or if something were to go awry – We *always* keep you posted. This one may take a bit longer given the updates. It shouldn’t affect streams.

General Post, Maintenance Notices

Unscheduled Maintenance

[This unscheduled maintenance was completed 🙂 ]

Hiya. I apologize for the short notice but I will be doing some small maintenance on all servers tomorrow, Thursday, June 29th starting at 2AM SLT. This maintenance shouldn’t affect streaming and should only last an hour (or less) but as we all know with technology things happen so if anything goes awry I will let you know immediately or if it affects you in anyway PLEASE reach out as soon as it occurs so I know.

Also a reminder that for Scheduled Maintenance (server restarts), that is posted on it’s own page. We will have a restart on July 17th (on Monday instead of having it on the 15th on a weekend day). We no longer have the premium support as now restarts of streams (including AutoDJ) after any maintenance is now *included* with your account.

Immortal Streams (Availability Update)


OFFER EXPIRED.


Hiya!

We currently have 0 Immortal Stream spots available. Please read this post about the sale of them, what they are, etc.

Once these 9 Immortal Streams are taken, I will no longer be offering the Immortal Streams. They will be vaulted indefinitely. Why you may ask? Because they were only offered to give something different than any other company has ever done. To offer something to help lower someone’s cost in their Second Life because we all know how rough our 1st life can be. But as with all good things, they do eventually come to an end and so it is now just time for us to no longer offer this option. We appreciate those who love theirs and have supported us by snatching one. We truly hope you enjoy the no fees on your stream and that it makes your SLife better 🙂

Immortal Streams (June 2023) (updated)


OFFER EXPIRED.


Please read this post about Immortal Streams AFTER reading this page as these won’t be available anymore.
You no longer need to contact me to redeem, there is now a vendor sign with proper instructions here!


Yea, I know, I said they wouldn’t be available until next year. All funds from this will be going toward getting a new room at a different hotel. I hope to make it and not have to have us stay here another month or two to save enough to leave. The last straw was the front desk “manager” telling me I cannot have my dogs on the elevator…Um, 2 of ours are older (13 & 14) & CANNOT go up/down stairs especially Blitz who has joint issues. Besides that bullshit: we’re paying out (fluctuating rates at that) the ass for this trash place, we will use the elevator as we please >.<. This was the last incident. I can’t anymore so our bad luck with this trashy place is your good luck getting a great deal lol so please do take advantage if you can.


Here’s the details:

–For new & existing customers.
–If you already have time on your account, it won’t be refunded/transferred/etc.
–For new: you can pick which plan (regular, not licenses) you wish to have as your immortal.
–If you have a stream, the plan you have is the plan the immortal will be attached to.
–If you have multiple streams you wish to be turned into immortal, you would have to pay for each one.
–If anything needs to be updated/changed/edited with this deal, it will be posted here as an update.
–You must contact me to redeem. Do not pay any vendors or our ko-fi page until you are informed to do so.
–This sale will end when all 13 spots have been taken.
–Please make sure this is what you wish to purchase because there are *no refunds for any reason*.


THE PRICE:


L$15,000 in SL OR $50USD via our ko-fi page one time payment option.
You must contact me to redeem.
Do not pay any vendors or our ko-fi page until you are informed to do so.
*please make sure this is what you wish to purchase because there are *no refunds for any reason*.


F.A.Q’s


(Read this section or you’ll miss important information)

*What is an Immortal Stream?*

—- An Immortal stream means there will be NO further renewal fees on your stream & will never expire for as long as Hostcrate is in business. We have been around since May 4th, 2008 (we’re over 15 now!) so we are NOT one of those fly by streaming providers who are here a year & gone the next. I, Lexxi, have no plans to retire anytime soon. You’ll probably still have me around when I’m 70 and using a cane or walker to get around lol. Why? Because I love what I do 🙂

 

*How do I get one?*

—- Read this signage in full first & foremost at the indicated location below. Once you have & completely understand you can then use the vendor sign to make your purchase located here. Please again READ all the signage that includes the instructions.

 

*Can I pay in USD?*

—- Yes. We have a specific page you can do that with. Don’t do so until you are instructed to though.. Filing any chargebacks will result in immediate termination of your stream(s) and you’ll be banned from using our services along with my informing other reliable stream businesses of your malicious behavior.

*Can I upgrade/convert/transfer my current account?*

—- Yes. You can with this sale. This isn’t always the case when I release the immortal option so don’t assume this when they are made available. Whatever your current stream plan is will be converted to immortal. Please remember that Immortal streams cannot be upgraded to any other plan. Meaning that if you convert your VIP License budget to an Immortal Stream, it will be forever a VIP License Budget plan so it cannot be upgraded like we do with normal licenses when you just can pay the difference and get an upgrade to a license plan with space. I hope that makes sense.

 

*What if I have time remaining on the stream I want to convert?*

—- ALL time paid on said stream will *NOT* be refunded, transferable, or etc

 

*When are Immortal Streams available? Why aren’t they public?*

—-Once the remaining 9 spots are taken up from this sale I will no longer offer Immortal Streams. Please read this post once you have read this page.  ̶C̶u̶r̶r̶e̶n̶t̶l̶y̶,̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶r̶e̶l̶e̶a̶s̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶o̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶w̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶.̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶w̶o̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶l̶e̶a̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶.̶ ̶T̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶e̶c̶i̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶a̶v̶a̶i̶l̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶e̶l̶e̶b̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶V̶a̶l̶e̶n̶t̶i̶n̶e̶’̶s̶ ̶D̶a̶y̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶R̶L̶ ̶B̶i̶r̶t̶h̶d̶a̶y̶ ̶(̶F̶e̶b̶ ̶1̶8̶t̶h̶)̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶w̶o̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶v̶a̶i̶l̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶u̶n̶t̶i̶l̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶2̶0̶2̶4̶ ̶E̶X̶C̶E̶P̶T̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶c̶e̶n̶a̶r̶i̶o̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶r̶a̶i̶s̶e̶ ̶f̶u̶n̶d̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶R̶L̶ ̶s̶i̶t̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶.̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶g̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶a̶v̶a̶i̶l̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶p̶u̶b̶l̶i̶c̶l̶y̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶d̶e̶c̶i̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶.̶ ̶T̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶s̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶p̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶d̶i̶s̶c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶w̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶m̶a̶d̶e̶ ̶a̶v̶a̶i̶l̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶a̶r̶o̶u̶n̶d̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶e̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶L̶$̶5̶5̶k̶/̶$̶2̶0̶0̶ ̶U̶S̶D̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶I̶ ̶b̶e̶l̶i̶e̶v̶e̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶i̶f̶i̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶I̶m̶m̶o̶r̶t̶a̶l̶ ̶s̶t̶r̶e̶a̶m̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶ ̶n̶a̶s̶t̶y̶ ̶I̶M̶s̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶S̶L̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶p̶r̶i̶c̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶l̶o̶w̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶n̶ ̶R̶L̶,̶ ̶e̶t̶c̶.̶

 

*What if I have a custom url? Is maintenance reboots included?*

—- It will still be included at no charge.

—- You’ll be contacted directly once your stream whether new or current has been either created or converted to an immortal stream.

 

*I purchased…but changed my mind, don’t need it, “insert reason here”, Refund me please*

—- No. As said above, multiple times, there are no refunds. for any reason so please, please, please make sure this is a purchase you wish to make. I’m sorry but I will not refund you…I will, however, give you the immortal stream of which you paid for. Being nasty for not getting your way will just result in not only no refund but also you’ll get banned from using our services as it is against our terms of service which you agreed to when you made your purchase/renewed your stream/etc. Don’t be that person. Be nice, be respectful, be kind, read the entire page, ask questions *before* making the purchase.

 

*What if I have other questions/etc?*

—- Contact me before purchasing. I will be glad to answer 🙂

SL Marketplace: Infrastructure upgrades & temporary downtime

SL Marketplace: Infrastructure upgrades & temporary downtime
Wed, May 24 2023 12:07:49 PM PDT

In case you missed it..

Infrastructure upgrades and temporary downtime for the Second Life Marketplace on May 31st! Please read for more info and save your shopping carts:


Per their blog…

Infrastructure Upgrades and Temporary Downtime on Second Life Marketplace

“Hello, Second Life creators and shoppers! In our constant efforts to enhance your shopping experience, we will be doing some infrastructure updates. While this is undoubtedly a positive step towards a more robust platform, it means there will be a brief period of downtime. We understand the inconvenience this may cause, and hope to minimize it!

Scheduled Downtime:

On Wednesday, May 31st, we will conduct a scheduled maintenance update that requires approximately one hour of downtime. During this period, the Second Life Marketplace will be temporarily inaccessible. Please note that during this downtime all shopping carts will be reset. This means that any items currently in your shopping cart will not be saved.
We don’t want you to lose any items you had been keeping in your cart to purchase later, so please consider taking these steps below to keep track of them.

Preparing for the Update:

To mitigate any inconvenience caused by the shopping cart reset, we recommend taking the following steps:

1. Finalize Your Purchases: Before the scheduled maintenance, we advise completing any pending transactions in your shopping cart. This will ensure that you don’t miss out on any items you intended to purchase.

2. Make a List: Consider keeping the items you aren’t ready to purchase in either your favorites or your wishlist (you could even share your wishlist with your friends if you’d like!). This way, you can come back to them whenever you’re ready.

We know it’s disruptive and we appreciate your patience while we work to upgrade the marketplace. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Stay tuned for more updates and happy shopping!”

UPDATE:
All Fixed
Wed, May 03 2023 1:42:30 PM PDT

The issue is all fixed – sorta. You may need to clear your browser/cache history for it to appear or you may need to wait up to 48 hours for it to propagate for your side. An update to the URL has been done so the login will be switched from hostcrate.rocks to cp2.hostcrate.rocks so please be aware of that. I will send notice when that has been done.
