After prodding the server and seeing what software its running on the server side of things I can pretty much guarantee that I could keep the forum up and running during the load spikes AND beat the price you currently pay for the hosting. Based on techniques learned when running some really really big websites a few years back. I already employ the same techniques for another premier league fan forum site and they havnt been down since I took over the hosting.

Guarantee? - Without knowing absolutely anything about the site, nor what we currently pay?

Ouch.

Could someone page a person in the know over to this thread please? I have a funny feeling I know what the answer will be (probably hello ban hammer) however from looking at the publically available information the forum provides about the setup it seems the current provider; which appears to provide managed hosting hasnt configured the server to handle load in remotely the best way possible. Probably wants to push more expensive/bigger hosting packages in lieu of a smart set up. A shame really.

In case anyone is interested I looked at the http headers and saw a certain bit of software mentioned. I am presuming that its setup in a fairly default way since the website totally died under heavy load last night. Then I looked at the reverse host names of machines/switches on the hops before I reach this website and did some poking around those websites. Deduced some information and decided to post after noting last night that this place didnt survive the transfer window closing.

Have you dealt with vBulletin forums before mate?

If so, you'll appreciate we're with the most reputable company. I'll ask the owner to pop along and advise.

Tubey: I did utilise the contact form and email address I saw in the error messages yesterday. However there was a deathly silence that followed.

Yesterday?

1 day?

Deathly silence over a weekend?

You're number 8017 in the queue.

Phew. Now where was I ?

Don't know if I should go on with this after that but here it is anyway...

Still getting the 'database error' page with this. I'm convinced that it's because I was in that thread when the site crashed.

More importantly, DOES IT LOOK LIKE WE ARE GETTING THIS GUY ?
