Website Taken Down!

2010-09-02T12:15:00.000-07:00

Hey all, unfortunately the hosts of the website have decided to take down the website without even telling me. I haven't been around to check email or the website all week, but, managed to get on yesterday to find the website down. I contacted the hosts MOCHAHOST.COM (bastards) telling them, only to receive this message back:

"Dear Client,

Your VPS account has been investigated by our administrators due to
excessive load/high resource utilization which includes high CPU utilization and memory consumption.

We have determined that based on the excessive resource utilization your
account is not a good fit for a VPS account since not only your VPS is crashing due to the high resource usage but you are also impacting the actual hardware node on which the VPS is created.

The only solution we can offer through our services is:

Obtaining a dedicated server which comes with free migration and free setup the server pricing for which you can obtain at http://www.mochahost.com/dedicated.php

Please respond back within 24 hours in order to avoid service interruption. If we do not hear back we will be forced to suspend the access to the VPS temporary in order to prevent the VPS from affecting the performance of the node on which is being hosted.

Please let us know if we can be in further assistance.

The down side to all of this is, the forum hasn't been backed up for a few weeks and I can't get around to doing anything this week as I don't have full internet access. So, basically now I have to find a new host, because Dedicated Servers are not an option, especially when one of the cheapest is around £35 a month. I've had no warning, no email telling me it's down, nothing, I must apologise to everyone for the inconvenience.

Cheers

Having trouble!

Having trouble with the website at the moment, the server cannot be found and it seems neither my hosts or domain company know whats wrong or don't want to help. Why do I always have problems when I launch this site?

Anyway, here is the snippet of the promo video and track for now.

Derek B Tribute

2010-01-15T10:00:00.000-08:00

Haven't been around on the internet for quite some time due to an addition to the family and her keeping myself and my wife busy, but, wanted to do this when I found time and being as it's Derek B's birthday today, I thought it was fitting.

Put quite simply, I couldn't believe it when I found out about Derek B's death, he was a big inspiration for me when I was young, seeing him on Top Of The Pops and some 80's Saturday morning TV show (can't remember the name). I know he was looked over quite a lot by the hardcore heads, but, most people who were into UK hip hop back in the day appreciate what he did and had/have a lot of love for him.

'Bad Young Brother' will always be a classic to me, the scratch introduction has been sampled so many times and will always be iconic.

I'm not gonna say much more, just that, on your birthday and for the next four weeks, Derek Boland, the heroesofukhiphop.com domain name will be dedicated to you, may you rest in peace and thank you for what you did.

R.I.P.

Thanks
Websta
