RESOLVED Topanga being moved to new hardware
Posted (August 25th, 2007 at 9:19 am PST) by StevenJust minutes ago a drive on topanga went south. The server is being moved to new hardware at this time. Please check back for updates!
Update: The move to new hardware has been completed. Most sites are up and running but there were some errors that are still being worked on to restore service for other sites. I’ll post another update once everything is 100% with topanga again.
Final Update! All configuration updates have finished running and all sites should be good to go now. If you’re hosted on topanga and experience any trouble with your site please contact support for further assistance.
Thank you for your patience.

yes, this is good !
Topanga was really hot when I was younger.
I can’t access caprisun… is this related?
DNS seems dead for at least the following sites: heiberg.net pentz.dk themuncks.dk guildsite.dk
DNS is also dead for panel.dreamhost.com so I can’t file a proper report.
Hopefully someone reads this.
Yes, all@dreamhost seems out of action. I can’t see any other way of reporting it beyond these comments.
All back now
yah- i cant get anything…ssh, ftp, etc.
I used to support Dreamhost pretty vigorously but nowadays, there’s just better service for the $. Dreamhost has become so unresponsive/unconcerned with outages that even casual, non-production users have been forced to move on. It was never robust enough to handle serious, production services imo– but it’s hardly adequate for hosting personal services or even backing up data anymore. i’ve seriously had better uptime from servers “racked” in my closet…
you guys have really turned to rubbish…
Nothing’s working here… all of my sites are down and I can’t even login to my dreamhost account. *sigh*
i can’t login web panel
Nothing works for me too. :(:(:(:(:(
A good Dreamhost service is just a dream…
I just hope my sites will be back in next couple of hours. Major business impact
I still can’t access at least one subdomain on my main site and i cant report it because the panel’s down. Can’t you at least fix your own problem reporting site?
Next site I setup will be with another host. I understand that for the money I can’t expect perfect service and 100% uptime but i have got to the point now where i will be actively investigating other providers.
I guess its problem with DNS servers again
I can’t visit my web,help!!!show 500 err
My favorite comments are from those who boast about their own personal servers that are, say, mounted in one’s closet or any other room in their home and compare that their uptime is far superior to Dreamhost’s. How about multiplying your little router and switch to handle hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of user accounts and god knows how much bandwidth would be needed for an adequate compare, not to mention then tracking all of the systems to make sure everything is running and everyone is happy, and then multiplying your server’s hardware to handle all of these requests from all of the different customers and their own website visitors. I am sure that this “superior” closet mounted server would be able to handle such loads without even blinking an eye, no? I wonder how many users this closet server handles…1? I wonder what kind of bandwidth we are talking here…DSL? Cable? That’s rough. I wonder how many terabytes of bandwidth are being pushed through this home DSL line.
Let’s not forget about the rule of multiples here. What a silly comparison.
Hey Red.. now lets just assume, for arguments sake, there are 500,000 user accounts. A significant number of those would be expensive dedicated hosting accounts, but lets just assume they’re ALL $7.95 a month shared hosting accounts. That comes out to $4million a MONTH in income, or $48million a year, and that is a very conservative estimate - in reality the money rolling in to DH is very likely significantly more. For that kind of money, I’d have a damn good set up - certainly not one that craps out on a regular basis month after month and even week after week as it has lately. Yes it’s good value on the surface for subscribers, but I think, considering the sheer volume of users and thus their collective purchasing power, the service should be far better than what it is. I joined early this year after hearing good things about DH, but it seems I joined just when things started going downhill, and now I’ve finally had enough and moved to MediaTemple. A bit more expensive, but there’s a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and each and any month it falls under that, you get your money back. Add onto that faster servers and modules that are kept up to date, and it is more than worth the few extra dollars a month for their gridhosting. I’m not trying to push them in particular - there are plenty of others - but it’s an example of what users should expect for their money, as cheap as it is.
Patience my ass. Feed the monkeys that push your buttons.
Curb your angry dog!
I have been promoting dreamhost for the last two years and brought them over 2000 customers looking at my rewards stats.. I really would like to keep promoting them but it makes it harder with all this downtime ..
I have another account for 9.99 at another host that I am much happier with .. Its less configurable but their downtime isnt as bad…
Please get your act together dreamhost..
This site is interesting and very informative, nicely interface. Enjoyed browsing through the site.
nice spam, asshat.
Sorry Angry Dog, I didn’t realize you were a troll on these boards. I don’t communicate with trolls since it is an effort in futility. I apologize and retract my question to you from the other thread. Not to mention, it sounds like you are getting kickbacks from MediaTemple for pushing their product on a competitor’s site, which is generally bad posturing and not good for the ole’ credibility factor.
Anyways, enjoy your time trolling here on DH, let me know if you need anything at all and I’ll promptly forward your request to my recycle bin.
I can’t access FTP server.My sites hosted on Pepsi.
