goldenairways Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I am starting my site in the next few days and I was downloading scripts like livezilla ready but I can't. Yesterday I went on their website then about 30 minutes later after the tab was left open, I tried to go to the downloads page and it didn't work. I am just wanting it to start up again in the next day preferably so I can intergrate that in to the site. Its funny you brought that up, I was wondering if it was just me having that problem, can't see why it would of been though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServWise.com Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have contacted the domain admin to see what is up.. Maybe he went on hols and doesn't realise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyhosting Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 done a check through http://www.intodns.com/livezilla.com and it comes up with Duplicate MX A records ERROR: It seems that all your MX records have the same IP(s): There is no use on having multiple MX records pointing to the same ip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServWise.com Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Duplicate MX A records wouldn't cause a site to go down, and is actually quite a common error. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ServWise.com Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Looks like my email made a difference as the site is back now... Maybe just coincidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenairways Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Website vandals and spammers should qualify for death row IMHO! Yea. A while ago there was a website called Avsim which got hacked, it was on the BBC too but they hadn't made any backups externally. Instead they had two servers and they made the backups on the opposite servers. And the way that the site was hacked made it hard to get the data back again. Their sites up now but I would of thought they made back ups. Just shows how pathetic some people can be, ruining somebody's creation that can take weeks to build. But thats life I am afraid to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenairways Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yea, some IDIOTS will stoop to anything to get their kicks Quite right. I can't really blame them for not backing up since after that I was preparing to back up but the hosting company who hosted my site terminated my hosting because they heard about me doing web hosting. I was preparing to move over to the reseller hosting but hadn't made back ups then. So in the next few days I have 2 websites to build. At least I have learnt my lesson, I recommend backing up to everybody after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an avid flight sim fan so I am familiar with that situation. Yes, I agree with you--the "Round Robin" method of doing backups is fine for quick data backup and restoration, but it cannot be relied upon as the only means. Crucial data must be stored offsite and offline as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenairways Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The website which I lost is related to flight simulator, its a VA. Anyway I am going to be sorting back ups out and may try and offer an external back up service because once you have lost that data, you can't get it back. But I have to remember to write up a website recovery plan so if anything goes wrong this time, I am able to get the website up and running again with in hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
