Richard, I was browsing through your pricing page on your website at: http://register.firstratehosting.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi
Just a little advice. On your pricing page, you really should not mention or compare with Godaddy. You're just getting customers to your page, only to lose them to a competitor with lower prices - (Not a good idea, especially after all the hard work getting them to your site to look at what you have to offer). And believe me, opensrs loses a lot of domains to Godaddy. Your pricing page is just giving Godaddy free advertisment and results in you losing the sale after potential customers get to that pricing page.

Ok, I offer a different solution. Well, not a solution, but what it MAY be. First let me ask you, what type of HARD DRIVE is on this Server that this happens with? Is it a SCSI? or a IDE? Most commonly IDE. IDE Hard Drives will have these kinds of problems, periodically, as they can ONLY accept ONE way processes. In other words, They cannot READ AND WRITE at the SAME TIME. So, if you have something WRITING a file, somewhere, that is a big file, like a BIG Security Check log, it may be taking up the Drive, therefore giving you this response. A SCSI, can both READ & WRITE. If you already on on SCSI's then this won't apply, but I have that problem, on a LOT of websites, with EVERY browser I use(IE,Opera, and they SORRY Netscape). I have become accustomed to when I get a page cannot be displayed, or cannot be found, I try it a second time. However, I do get responses from people all the time, that say they had a error on the page, so they leave, they don't try a second time. SO.... people DO lose business of this, but it is NOT a OpenSRS problem, as I get it on websites, that have NOTHING to do with the OSRS. I suggest talking with your Technical Department, if you have a data center, if you lease your servers, call the company that owns the servers, and tell them about it, OR if your a Reseller, call the Web Hosting company(s) that you are resellers with, and tell them of the problem. They may say it's in your head, but argue with them, MAKE THEM DO IT, you are the customer, or if you OWN your own Data Center, then you are the BOSS! ;-) Anyways, Hope that offers SOME kind of light. Maybe wrong, but just what I've noticed, and I too have been on the net for a LONG, LONG time;-). Thanks Richard. http://www.firstratehosting.com/ Now get the FIRST 45 Days FREE!!
