Spunky and Central Move
We’re about to begin to move the spunky cluster and our central machines. We’ll be taking down servers soon, but our status site, of course, will remain up and running.
Again, we’ll try to keep this move quick and painless as we possibly can, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
For more details on this, see the previous post here:
http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2008/03/14/central-services-and-spunky-cluster-move/
UPDATE — Sat Mar 22 00:12:05 PDT 2008 –
Most central functions are back up. Dreamhost.com and panel.dreamhost.com are working again. We are currently working on webmail. The spunky cluster move is still underway. We’ll post more here later.
UPDATE — Sat Mar 22 02:45:26 PDT 2008 –
Webmail is up! 99% of all central services are functioning now. Spunky is 80% racked, more info on that to follow.
UPDATE — Sat Mar 22 03:40:27 PDT 2008 –
Spunky is coming up. We’re spotchecking and fixing troubled file, web, and mail servers. We’ll sound an all when all is clear… We will likely be firefighting for the next few hours.
UPDATE — Sat Mar 22 06:01:28 PDT 2008 –
Spunky is still coming up, we’re dealing with a couple of machines that didn’t survive the move and some more cleanup stuff. We’ll keep you posted as things progress!
UPDATE — Sat Mar 22 07:04:35 PDT 2008 –
We have noticed a problem with some of our networks. They seemingly did not make the jump to the new router and we are looking into that. Any websites with IP addresses that look like either 64.111.xxx.xxx or 208.113.xxx.xxx are down to the outside world right now. The machines themselves are up so as soon as the networks are working again they’ll begin working immediately.
UPDATE — Sat Mar 22 09:55:54 PDT 2008 –
The networking problem has been resolved with our network provider so as of right now all services should be up and running. If anything is not working, please open a new support message from our web panel.

45.000 Joke-Papers called Dollars
Nice, its not much fpr “High-Tech-Ind.” :):):)
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:02 am
Whine whine whine. How much money did you make yesterday that you didn’t spend on reliable hosting?
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:02 am
FOR LOVE OF GOD MY WEBSITES ARE DOWN FOR 12 HOURS!!! FUCK YOU SON OF BITCHES FIX THE PROBLEM YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:05 am
You’re overestimating yourself if you think you’ve made any points.
Angry? Na. Not being as stupid as the people you’re surrounded by is no reason to be angry.
The angry ones are easy to spot. They’re the ones posting under 10 different names and wasting money on domains with my name in them. Well, mostly stupid, but angry too.
And don’t forget the retards that are posting under my name. They’re so angry at themselves for being stupid that they’re trying to better themselves by pretending to be me. S
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:07 am
*yawn* Good morning. My sites are mostly up. The rest will follow. Hope y’all had fun shopping around and reading all that tiny print.
Here’s to you, DH.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:07 am
Let me take a moment to remind you that you are stupid and I am better than you because I got my Information Services degree from ITT Tech.
With my new degree I was able to become employed in the fast paced exciting Internet Industry! I am currently working as a content writer for POZ.COM. Isn’t that the coolest domain name ever?!
If you don’t surf POZ.COM you are stupid!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:08 am
So, one hour past the last update and I’m one of the lucky ones who has websites in that block. What’s going on? Have you got it fixed yet? Will we be credited for the time past the maintenance window that you’re still down?
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:08 am
Shawn fuck you dude, i say fuck yourself you fucking fag. You fucking troll go fuck your father and drink his piss. People are complaining about their websites and you’re fucking creating here drama. I wish you were die fag and people would piss on your dead body
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:09 am
lol, gotta love shawns effort to try and wind people up by constantly posting on these comments.
we are touched that you care about how we feel soo much
poor boy, he has nowhere else to play, must be a lonely easter for him
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:09 am
You’d do better if you tried suing your parents for bringing you up to be so stupid that you thought that was an intelligent question.
Go read the TOS you agreed to when you signed up, then see if you still need to ask that question.
One option would be getting a real job, so that you wouldn’t be crying over chump change. Then you could use some of that money to keep your site online if it’s really that important to you.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:10 am
What is going on with the 64.111.xxx.xxx or 208.113.xxx.xxx subnets?? The post makes it sound like it’s nothing but my sites have been down all day because of this!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:11 am
How long has the outage been going for now?
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:11 am
Ok my site is back and online now but i am unable to connect to my FTP
Do you have the same problems?
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:12 am
Hey guys, while you are waiting for your websites to come up, you might want to bookmark POZ.COM so you can read the piece I am working on for next week! A first hand account about a limousine ride with Barack Obama! If you don’t check it out you are stupid and should have been aborted! Haha, I’m so clever! You’re the abortion that lived!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:13 am
Hahaha.. is this you Shawn..? followed your scent.

No that’s not me! You’re stupid!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:14 am
Shawn’s after my job - Waaaaaaa!!!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:18 am
Decided that I now had to add your RSS feed to see what you are doing to the site. Funny thing is, this move and issue is not mentioned in the RSS feed. So how are we to plan around your outages?
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:18 am
you people are such idiots
what kind of stupid person spends their entire day hanging around with idiots on a blog calling them names, investing soo much time and effort in reminding them of their stupidity…
..oh wait thats me. doh!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:19 am
Stop that fake shawn! I am the real shawn, you are stupid and I am superior to you.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:20 am
My site still isnt up… I hope that you can resolve this mater really really quick……………………………
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:22 am
re: Jill
My site is all static pages and software kits and I keep the pages on a few of my computers so I can just FTP them to a server using FileZilla. The software kits are too big to reupload so they’re not available.
At the moment, I’m considering putting a few of the pages that I need at my ISP web hosting space. It would be good enough for the weekend. I need my DH site up by Monday morning. Folks that use my site regularly will be annoyed at the outage but that’s life.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:23 am
My site http://www.info-mac.org and all of it’s subdomains have been down for about ten hours now (since midnight central time) which is just ridiculous, embarrassing, and costly.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:23 am
Ahem. Mr. FuckYouDreamHost, why don’t you buy the video? Royalties do supplement my High Tech Salary, you know.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:24 am
I’m the real Shawn.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:24 am
STFU Fake Shawn. You’re stupid.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:25 am
No I am the real Shawn. Idiots.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:26 am
So can we expect another 3 day outage when you say 3 hours? It’s already been 12 hours. Will we be working again by Monday? Typical DreamHOSE crappy service. Thanks for hurting my business once again with your lousy hosting.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:26 am
Look at me! Look at me! I’m the real Shawn! People are mocking me on the Internet! I’m so important! You’re stupid!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:26 am
Laugh at me if you will, I know there can be only one Idiot, I mean Shawn. Idiot.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:26 am
Dan, you’re one of the unlucky ones with a 208.113.*.* ip address. So am I. krazydad.com and coverpop.com are still down, and you said it: Costly, and embarrassing.
The longer term costs, in terms of losing repeat business and losing faithful visitors, are still unknown. Meanwhile, Media Temple is looking more and more attractive every hour…
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:27 am
i like teh buttsexorx
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:27 am
Can I just point out that…
Oh, yeah, they gave us forewarning of this. A [url=http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2008/03/14/central-services-and-spunky-cluster-move/]full week ago[/url]
Bitching and complaining, meet the search function.
Meet paying attention.
Thank you!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 am
jbum, the most worrisome part for me is the impact on regular visitors, especially for a relatively new site trying to attract more regular users.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 am
Over an hour since the last update to the problem - any chance we can get an estimate of how much more time this will take?
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 am
To everyone who complains about not being warned. You are ignorant. I have known and been prepared for this move for weeks. Pay attention.
Good luck to all the techs working on the move! Personally, I think it would be awesome to be working on the project. Only a few more hours to go…
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 am
Idiots. All of you, if you really think I’m going to sit here for another 12 hours reading every post so I can think of a nice sarcastic retort while playing with my cock, you must be joking. Idiots.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 am
Addresses effected: 64.111.xxx.xxx or 208.113.xxx.xxx
So even if you have multiple NIC connections on each server, you apparently use network connections all within the same IP address block rather than split them across separate network feeds. Or are you saying that you do have septate network feeds hooked up to the machines but it just happens that both sets of feeds are on the only two networks that were not properly configured?
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:30 am
Actually I have had so much fun calling you all stupid idiots for the last 12 hours that I am going to stay here for another 12 after all.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:30 am
Been an hour an a half since the network issues presented themselves. When do we expect to regain service? My server was not supposed to be effected by the server move at all.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:30 am
Artemis: They announced it, but my server (which has been down for 12+ hours now) was not among those listed in the announcement.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:31 am
Shawn, suck my dick please. ;D
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:32 am
What is with all the X rated activity here.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:32 am
hey, howdy?
My sites are still downy =) please fix it quickly guys.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:32 am
If dreamhost cancels my account because of my orientation, that is discrimination and I am going to sue!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:34 am
Shawn, have I seen you on BZFlag?
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:34 am
We have another Fake Shawn alert. Everyone knows that to get cybersex action, you have to PayPal me first.
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:35 am
2 pages o people pretending to be people, spam, vulgarity and pornography is ridiculous. since those shawn-is-a-loser.com and shawn-is-pathetic.com doms are registered at dreamhost, i’m sendin abuse a spam complaint and hope the ips match the porn posts for an account termination. grow up kids!
March 22nd, 2008 at 7:35 am
hmm - my IP address starts with 66 but it’s down and been down for 12 hours almost
