Server Down

There was a problem with our web hosting server, which affected all hosted customers. The problem has now been resolved by our hosting company.

There was network problem at the data centre end. It was the temporary networking problem due to which the server on which your vps is hosted gone off-line for some time.

Website Speed

Today I dramatically improved the load time of our eTill website after finding a bug in the PHP code.

We where using the getimagesize function, but passing a full URL instead of a relative file name. Each time the function was called, the server had to download the image instead of looking on the local drive.

We are tried a few different product names for the retail till software, before settling on eTill. The letter e signifies once of the key features of the new package, simple e-commerce website integration.

The original name for our new retail software was reTill and we may use this name again in the future.

Hosting Upgrade

Today a number of our customers reported website problems, after our hosting server was upgraded. This post aims to explain the reasons why our customers are experiencing these issues.

During the last week of November 2008, I noticed that almost all of our hosted websites where nearing there allocated bandwidth. Our server bandwidth is split up between customers, but as the number of hosted sites has grown, we had reached the limits of our current server.

To prevent all of our sites passing there bandwidth limits and being unavailable, in the early hours of Monday morning all of our website where migrated to a new server.

Unfortunately there was no time to notify customers before the upgrade was carried out. I apologise for any inconvince caused, but we are working to rectify all reported issues.
