What happened to Cherie's board? It seems like the entire hostboard site has shut down  |

The last major outage they had, I contacted the administrator and was told it was a problem with his internet service provider needing new software or parts and it would be back up in a couple days. It came up two days later. This time however I haven't gotten a response. It could be that he is moving everything to a new host not bound to his service provider which appears to be rather lackluster, and it might be back in several days. It could also be that it just isn't going to be running anymore. I haven't heard either way.
One of the reasons I decided not to go with Hostboard anymore. I'd say keep checking for the next week or two and if it's still not back, it probably isn't coming back. If that happens a new board will most likely be opened I'm sure.

Hostboard has been in a period of transition while trying to upgrade to a better system. We have experienced several "downtimes" but not THIS long. I have heard that today is the day it will be back up and running but I'm not counting my chickens before they cross the road! The constant downtime over there, triggered this new board, I believe. It's very frustrating!!!  Gus |

Well if that were the case don't you think they would have posted something about it? I don't think this looks too good for Hostboard, however they have been talking about their new system for some time now. It's a good thing this board was in the works already.

That was my first impression too dgk, but when I was running on Hostboard I never got any announcements about anything. So I guess we'll have to see. It could be that things went down again and they just decided to move since it was down anyway, but didn't have access to send something out. I'm far too impatient to wait for it if it's coming but they host so many boards I hope they do come back. If only long enough for those people to have an option to move and let their people know about it. It was once pretty cool and the guy was really nice when I started out on HB.

I read a post on another board that said the hostboard data center was broken into, nothing was stolen , but they smashed up the place. All hard drives are intact. Steven is just waiting for hardware to arrive!
It is suppose to be back online some time today.

When ever I try to open Cherie's board (or ANY OF MY OTHER FAVE'S) I get the "The page cannot be found" Then when I click on the www.hostboard.com addy, the following pops up. |

Something changed. You no longer get that 404 error page when trying to log in to Hostboard. You get this page instead: WHAT does it all mean?   |

It means there's something a little awry with the script and they are probably working on it right now. With scripts like this, one little misplaced letter can cause the whole thing to go down. This is a good sign though, it means they're getting there.

Hi Gus
I have been having problems registering myself - what's the deal with this hosting?!...Being myself a Cherie's fan I'd love to share it with other Cherie's admirer, but I do not know what's wrong with the hosting - can you help please?
I put a username eg: like say GlamUK and it either tells me that my email is already been used (not true) or that someone else has got or has booked my username....Isn't this weird enough to make someone lose all interest?
I hope to get to sort this out soon.
Cheers mate!
Lory

Hi Lory,
Maybe with all the problems of late, there is a glitch there. Did you check your email to make sure it didn't actually work?
The name could have been used. Hostboard is a vast network of message boards. When you sign up, you can access all of the boards in the system. Try adding a number, like GlamUK555, for example.
If it won't accept your email addy, that is most peculiar. If you were never registered on Hostboard before, it must have something to do with your current attempts to register.
Try getting a free email account at Yahoo and registering with that!
Let me know if you still have a problem and I'll post a question to the administrator.
It will be nice to have you join us, once we pull you through!
Hang in there!!!
Gus
