Website

[sperry]

The club website is down.

 

[MrRyanT]

Yeah, I saw that too, not sure what the problem is, looks like the server is down.

 

[SpiffWilkie]

Is this common? I have plenty of space/bandwidth on my server and could host it if there's a server issue.

We have a contract with the company we are hosting with now, but after that is up we will be moving it. Not sure who we are going with, but we need to have email hosted there also.

 

[SpiffWilkie]

Well, right now I use Google to host my email. It's the gmail interface (and storage) but the addresses are still @mydomain.com. It's simple to set up. I just have mydomain.com/mail for the login page. My host is hostgator which has been very reliable. I don't think I have ever seen it down in the last 1.5 years I've been with them.

Let me know if your interested after the contract expires. I don't have a limit on the domains I can host and I'm already paying for my own personal site anyhow.

Are we going to get the website back up, this is where I get all my emails.

 

[Rendos]

The website being down is the club's fault. I spoke with the web host and they say they took the site down due to non-payment. We are getting that fixed...right?!

Wouldn't PM's , e-mail, and /or the telephone be a better place to handle club business such as this?

You get emails through the club's web site?

Looking into it.

Yes ...PM or email would certainly be better than posting this.

Who is the contact person for the website? Richard or Barrett

Who are the signers on the bank account? Richard and Barrett

Who has the passwords to even get on the website account?
I don't know ... not me

Pretty hard to be Treasurer and take care of business when I can't get the information, passwords and access I need to do the job.

There is no reason for the web to be down for nonpayment. It is an automatic debit off the card on your name, Richard. That card is good, not expired and there is money to cover. There is obviously a mistake. But only the person on the card and account has the authorization to look into it.

Please don't post here publicly saying it's the club's fault when I never had a chance to know there was a problem and don't have the authorization to even fix it.

Thanks
Cathy

Okay all ... I just tried to go back and delete that last post but RC wouldn't let me. Sorry for the flame.

We've had some issues transitioning from the old officers to the new, but we've about got it worked out.

Sorry for the inconvenience with the website. It fell through the cracks. The webhosting company didn't have the contact information for new officers so any warnings that it was going down went unheard.

It IS a mistake, though because the card they're using is good.
I'm sure Richard and I can get together and get it fixed. I've already emailed the webhosting company and asked them to put the site back up while we get it taken care of.

THANKS
Cathy

That's right.

Cathy I PM'd everyone to let them know it was your fault. Hope that helps.

Thanks, Dave!

What a guy! Thanks for the help!

 

[just dave]

just call my name, I'll be there .

 

[joeycadre]

simmmma down now.

 

[Blindside]

excuse me but has anyone seen my stapler.....

 

[crpeck]

It's all okay. I shouldn't have posted that. I'm not upset.

This is just another reminder that we need to get all of the transition stuff taken care of.

I over-reacted and apologize.

 

[Rendos]

Wow...what is everyone upset about?
Is our website down due to our host having techinical problems? - No.
Do they deduct the fee from our checking account monthly? - Yes.
Did they contact me? - Yes - yesterday.

There is no transition problem. It is an automatic deduction from our account. This means there is a problem with our account...
Sorry if that sounds like I am blaming Cathy or anyone in particular. I was letting everyone in the club know why the club website was down. We do receive emails that are important to club business through wtmrac.org. I think it is important for it to be working.

So now that we know what the problem is, let us find out why they did not receive payment, and get it fixed. It could be a problem at the bank...not anyone in the club.

 

[crpeck]

The website is back up.

 

[crpeck]

fyi - the hosting company input the card with the wrong expiration date so that's why it was declined. So after all this ................................................................................................................. It's their fault after all.

They haven't been able to explain why after all these months of processing it with the correct expiration all of a sudden they started using the wrong one.

Problem is fixed.
