[RESOLVED] Still some issues from yesterday’s outage

[UPDATE: 8:09 PM PST on 08/16/07]
According to our hosting provider, everything is returning back to normal, so your kiosks should be back up and running. I have already started preparing to move to a more reliable provider.
It seems our hosting provider didn’t manage to completely resolve the connectivity issues, so the Subscribe-O-Matic service is still experiencing some slowdowns and temporary few minute outages. We are very sorry for the inconvenience - I understand that every temporary outage means less potential subscribers in your Subscribe-O-Matic groups, so I’m also actively working on minimizing those as much as possible, currently with two planned changes (planned for August):
- We added a backup server, that will be used so the kiosks will still be able to accept new subscribers even in cases when the main server is unreachable - we are planning to implement that functionality in the next update,
- we will move the main Subscribe-O-Matic service to a more reliable provider by the end of August.
