TBH that site has more problems with up times than any other site I frequent. Think strong words with the host is needed

The server has issues, suspect it's something to do with the SQL database but it's killed everybody on the shared hosting. There is a discussion on it on the INX-gaming forums.

The webhosting is a free add on provided by INX-gaming as part of their game server package. This is the first server related failure for quite some time so it would be harsh to criticise unduly. A lot of the difficulties experienced only a couple of months ago were due to "MGP moments" with misconfiguration of parts of the forum and mods added to it.

Edit: it's probably back up now

I think you are mistaking free with included. Not much in life is free they say with free web hosting as an insentive to buy its part of your package. Like saying a £50 mobile phone tarrif has free calls lol

You know me though dude I am a harsh critic

Maybe I ought to have put quotes around the word "free"?

The web server was actually still running it was just the SQL that had screwed up. It may be an incentive to buy the gaming package but it's quite a good one. I don't know of many cheap hosting packages that give you 10GB of space, 100GB of bandwidth, 100 SQL databases, and so on. And the connectivity speed is good too which is ideal when we want to set up fast downloading for custom maps and suchlike within the games.
