We sold an image hosting site that resided on this server that hosted over 1.4 million images total and received several million calls a day so now that it's gone the forums should be a lot faster now.

Time will tell.

It'd time out every now and then.

Always I'd have 2 minute little sessions where the site would time out, then it would work again. Tested my connection thorougly, but it was definately the site.

Yeah, I would freak out thinking my internet was going down. (Since it tends to do that alot - bright house sucks!) Now, i've gotten pretty use to it... But it does run faster now. (Atleast that I see.) No time-outs yet. *crosses fingers & knocks on wood*

yea same here. I would get time outs all the time and have to refresh. So far so good.

The timeouts are our hosting company. Terrible routing equipment, but extremely cheap. We're moving everything to either Rackspace or The Planet until we get our own datacenters though.

The site is prntscrn.net and no, not really. The main problem is that the server was, we'll say, messed with by an old partner and it disabled the image upload feature of our screenshot software so the site was down in the $10 to $15 a day. I think it'll do much better with the new owners though.

It's the last image hosting site I'll own though.... as long as you don't hold me to those words.
