What if Subeta had good servers?
Have you ever thought for a second what if subeta actually had servers that worked? No, no, I’m talking about servers that keep Subeta up all the time without any downtime. If Subeta has gold accounts and the users donate, don’t you think they should try to at least have good servers that can keep Subeta running without any downtime? I believe so too - and if Subeta’s recode is to help any, then they should at least try to get servers that can keep them runnning without any lag, handle a ton of users online - and don’t produce any mySQL errors.
Subeta is alway going down because of a server error, but what if all their servers had great uptime? Well, Subeta would have an even brighter future - users hate lag, and users hate sucky servers. They’re making enough money from the gold accounts, so why can’t they help us (the users) and give us good servers instead of the sucky ones that Subeta is currently running?
Here’s an idea for Subeta to have good servers - buy a load balancer and connect all the servers onto one. If your mySQL server is the reason for all your downtime, then optimize it and don’t be lazy. The problem with Subeta is that Keith isn’t a server administrator and yet he has his own server - he should be renting them from a hosting company, and not handling them himself. He needs to learn how to manage, optimize and learn what’s best for Subeta before all his users leave.
We want quality servers, Subeta!
I disagree, I don’t think Subeta should be renting their servers. That is what used to be done. Back in the days when Subeta was small, if the server went down, there was always waiting for the company to get to it, now it’s generally Keith can get on top of it straight away.
The downtime is nothing compared to what it used to be, and the site loads like a fast car in comparison to the Subeta of 2004-2005.
But you’re right - Subeta needs to invest it’s profits better, perhaps Keith should do a course, or hire a server administrator.

No, Brenton. Subeta needs a reliable server company. Marapets is renting their server and has the best uptime out of any pet site. The downtime is worse than it used to be, Brenton. Subeta used to have the greatest uptime.
