Chitchat Sam Leong Database last night Lao Sai BIG TIME.

Very professional indeed, Sir

Nothing to do with professionalism it's plain common sense. We did attempt to set up MySQL replication but that has its own set of problems.

The uptime of this forum has been commendable and the hosts have done a very good job along with the guy who maintains the database.

The last time it was down for more than 30 minutes was something like 5 years ago so I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

My hosting provider suffers at least one major downtime every year, lasting typically one to two hours. Some downtimes have lasted as much as 12 hours.

The most damaging instance was a downtime that lasted 3 full days and resulted in loss of data. I was never compensated for any of these downtime or the data loss. I suffered a few thousand dollars loss as a result of that downtime due to loss of goodwill. None of which the company compensated.

Move the site somewhere else. I use reliablehosting.com and I guess they strive to live up to their name.
