During the past days/weeks you might have noticed the outage of freeallegiance.org.
I was told that the first outage on May 13th was caused by plugging in/out an USB device on the ESXi hypervisor.
I have no idea what the reason was for the other two outages on Monday and today, maybe they were caused by the same reason...
outage freeallegiance.org
There are options, but costly, http://www.cloudflare.com/ for example.
I feel confident PKK has contacted the hyper provider to express his concern.

There is nothing whatsoever costly about hosting a website like this.
A few of us already have server resources available for a website.
A shared hosting package through godaddy...amazon..whatever is only like 3-4 dollars a month, with a 99.9% uptime guarantee and unlimited monthly bandwidth.
It's ridiculous that we're using the hardware of someone we don't even know who he is and doesn't play the game to host a site.
This isn't the year 2000. Web hosting is almost free, now. You don't have to pay for bandwidth anymore.

There's a new sheriff in town.
GoDaddy webhosting and 1+ GB mySQL database...
GoDaddy and 99.9% uptime guarantee, you get a cost compensation of 5% if they don't archive that uptime...
Here, you pay nothing and can complain all the time for free...

The Escapist (Justin Emerson) @ Dec 21 2010, 02:33 PM:
The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.
It's not worth being dependent on this hardware - not so much for any reliability reason, but because nobody in the active game community or even forum community has access to it, as far as I know.
Not worth saving a few bucks a month to everyone who has their valuable time wasted by the delays caused by this arrangement.
