Hey Addicts,
We apologize for the recent two days of downtime and the slow site. It was unavoidable and we did our best. Let me explain what happened.
The server that GuyanaLive was previously hosted on had a major hiccup. The power supply had a fault and it blew and caused a bit of damage. The drive was not damaged and was placed as a secondary drive in another server and the files and databases were then copied. I’m sorry but we just couldn’t run to Digicom or Starr Computers for a $6,000 (+VAT) power supply and plug it in. Reasons? It would not physically fit and the power supply is for a server not even located in Guyana.
(Yes Digicom and Starr Computers, you’re welcome for the big up.)
Another reason why it took so much time is because the DNS (domain name system) had to propagate. Long story short. GuyanaLive.com was pointing to ‘server a’ and it takes a while for all ISP (internet service providers) to get the updated records to direct users to ‘server b’.
The second server (the one we’re currently hosted on) just isn’t capable of handling the load it previously had and the additional. Therefore the execution times have increased causing a delay of page load and timeouts.
A backup PSU (power supply unit) is scheduled to be delivered to the data center today. It would replace the first and we’ll see if any further damage was done. If so another R900 server would be ordered.
The gallery database has been marked as corrupt but I’ll get over that one like everything else. By the way, we have 4 events to publish. Its all uploaded and waiting on the gallery to be fixed.
We received many calls, emails and IMs concerning the recent downtime. I never had a chance for a full explanation so here it is.
So what do you think? Feel free to reply here shoot us an email at team at guyanalive.com

Why lies to the user about the server is website is host with godaddy and godaddy did not had any problem.So tell the user the truth.
Disclaimer: Rowen is not a member of the GuyanaLive team at the time of this post. So this does not reflect the views of the website.
this is to response #9: You are a jackass. (No apologies) I honestly hate wasting time responding to idiots but yet still I do. Reason being I don't want the other idiots out there to think I'm one of them. Let me teach you a few things:
1. Godaddy is the domain name registrar just like your dumbass site higuyana.com (look have some exposure… you need it)
Translation: Um a de people from which we buy the domain name. Umm guyanalive.com jus like how you get you own from dem.
Click below to verify: http://who.godaddy.com/WhoIs.aspx?domain=guyanali…
Now look at the nameservers. The nameservers would tell you more. You see NS1.FCNDNS.COM and NS2.FCNDNS.COM not NS31.DOMAINCONTROL.COM like yours.
I'm gonna make this long story short. Go to: http://visualroute.visualware.com/ then enter "guyanalive.com" to trace. You'll see its belongs to:
OrgName: R & D Technologies, LLC
OrgID: RDTL
Address: 2675 Patrick Lane
Address: Suite 8
City: Las Vegas
StateProv: NV
PostalCode: 89120
Country: US
The majority of Godaddy's servers are in Arizona this is in Las Vegas. I'd be happy to teach you about the internet. But I have better things to do. Now go back to that three click script you call your website and leave me in peace.
How does it feel to be owned? Moron.
