Summary: Using McProHosting as a host. Two days ago there were site errors, and I couldn't log on to restart the server.

I can't access stuff through the computer, so on my phone I attempted to start it and got this.

Yeah. So. I forget to pay the invoices sometimes. Which is because MCProHosting doesn’t offer PayPal or subscriptions anymore which is fucking stupid and I hate them for it.

Instead. What they offer is a billing service I’ve never heard of before which requires me to put my details into it every single fucking time.

I’m very sorry for my vulgarity. But. Like. Come on MCPH. Get your shit together. Supposedly they lost a lot of customers for changing their supported means of payment (eg. getting rid of PayPal), but I haven’t had the effort to go hunting around the plethora of minecraft/web server hosting services because I’m not exactly what you would call healthy.

tldr; MCPH, our server host, is a dick.

So, MCProHosting decided that they're no longer going to be accepting PayPal as a payment method. It's worth mentioning that they didn't tell anyone about this.

What this means is we might be moving away from MCProHosting and to a different host, what that means for you is the server IP might change.

We haven't decided anything yet and the situation is still developing so nothing's set in stone. We'll keep you updated as things develop.

We believe McProHosting may be having some issues. The server has been restarting periodically, without us telling it to. This isn't supposed to happen. And, because the server isn't prepared to shut down and start up again, it doesn't always remember to save. (Seconds before a scheduled restart, the server saves everything.)

We've made it so that the server now does a save every 15 minutes. While this may cause a little lag, it's much preferable to losing a few hours of hard work. However, if the server does randomly restart between saves, you may lose up to 15 minutes worth of work.

There is nothing we can do till we hear back from McProHosting. So till we know what's happening, and why, you have been warned, and we sincerely apologise for this.

McProHosting just upgraded their website, they are the service I use to host the Minecraft Servers I run, like the Drunk Rooster Server.

Check them out when you get the chance, 24/7 uptime and full mod support, anything you want, they can help you with, excellent customer service and great prices. Their plans range from $2.49 a month with a 5 player cap, to $59.99 a month with an unlimited player cap.
