Dockex.com's Status

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to apologize to the Aqua community for the current state of dockex.com. Many of you who attempted to visit the site have failed to access or view any of its pages. The site went down approximately two days ago without any notice from the hosting provider (Endore.com).

In addition, Endore’s main site (http://www.endore.com) seems to be down, but its support site (http://support.endore.com/) is active. Nonetheless, the data provided under the support site for dockex.com is invalid. Such an invalid data is the monthly bandwidth usage of dockex.com which provided a zero value (which is of course incorrect.)

I have attempted to contact them over the phone numbers (directly and via their 1-800 numbers) they provided to me, but they were not in service. Fortunately, I was able to sent two emails in the past two days to support@endore.com, without them bouncing back. However, I have heard nothing from them regarding the situation.

At this point I am mostly concerned about the state of the site’s database. The database contains all the news, docklets, members (developers), images, and site status information, which holds the site together.

Please be patient until I hear back (I hope) from them, and I will naturally update everyone with any latest information.

Again, sorry for this inconvenience, I hope you will understand,

Haitham Al-Beik

Sorry to hear the sad state of affairs you are in. If you need anything, ask an I will see what I can do. IF, and only IF you want a new host, I highly recommend XitoCreations.com. Very good and very nice packages. I hope you get this resolved ASAP.

A final checkup on the site shows an "OUT OF OUT OF BUSINESS" message. I wish they informed us earlier so that I can download a backup of the mySQL database.

I will have to look for a new hosting service this weekend. I have two exams to finish studying for tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and always excellent support!

Try PMing/emailing Code_Monkey. He has loads of space/bandwidth. He hosts a bunch of sites (including both of mine).

Sorry to hear about your problems.... best of luck with the exams and with the site.

In the meantime, does anyone have a copy of the taskbar docklet for YzDock? If anyone could post it here I would really appreciate it - I would like to start using YzDock and I think a taskbar is about all I am missing.

Thanks

Jonathan
