Outage at around 00:44 - couldn’t ping forum.kitz.co.uk
« on: March 17, 2020, 12:50:08 AM »

Was there some maintenance going on? Because I couldn’t access the server for a couple of minutes - was trying to post something and I lost my post text as it timed out on me.

It wasn't me as I was tucked up in bed, nor was I advised of any scheduled maintenance.   
Saying that, Vidahost has been bought out and the service isn't quite the same as the server is just a tiny fish in now what is a very large pond.
Sorry guys :/

Was that with the iPad?  One advantage with PC browsers is you can usually just hit reload when that happens and it will ask to re-submit the form.

Browser died because it timed out and I then got an error page. I pinged and then tracerouted with a tool on the iPad, then did a remote ping, with an internet-based tool from a remote address and then the same with a different web-based tool. All were getting no response from forum.kitz.co.uk

Its been on and off, so I started an MTR, here is the data.

Looks like some telia transit issues.  Interesting you said they been brought out kitz, as I was shocked to see godaddy in the routing, I wonder if you now on a godaddy hosting platform? O_o

Yup.   Sad day and end of an era.   
I went over to TSO but there was no noticeable change for me, as mentioned in that thread Vidahost was still run separately/independently for those with their own servers, so I didn't really notice much difference.   
Not too happy about the GoDaddy merger but they seem to have left my server along as it was despite it being a bespoke build package.   They probably don't even know from looking at it on the rack that Dom would do things like put extra RAM in.  I did start looking around last year when my annual fees were due, but it does seem difficult to find decent UK hosting with Cpanel that doesn't cost the earth.. but then I also had my own health issues.... and don't know if I want the hassle of moving.

Vidahost were always good at informing about scheduled maintenance or even just general news.. but now there's no correspondence apart from billing. 
Like I said above tiny fish in a large pond.

... and that's what I kind of miss.   
Vidahost knew what the site did and Dom arranged direct peering with most of the UK ISPs.   Little things, but it's what made them good.


>>> I wonder if you now on a godaddy hosting platform?

Don't think so.  Still eqx.misp which are the Vidahost racks.
I also continue to use the Vidahost/TSO portal for tickets/billing/domain changes.

The direct peering Dom put in place for the server has gone and it now goes via telia > godaddy

Kitz does it in 14 hops

Makes little difference at the end of the day.   
Plusnet uses dedicated WBMC and their own MSILs.  BTr does similar and you sometimes see the bRAS and core routing hops which are always hidden using L2TP for some other ISPs that use BTw shared. ...  although I notice you miss out on all the telia routing.
