December –the month of hiccups
Everything was going fine but suddenly “Murphy- strike” (Something that can go wrong will go wrong) in middle of December month. CK website was locked by our server provider even without sending a prior notification. Website as per our hosting provider using much bandwidth and server was not able to take the load. We were in mixed reaction- one: we are growing much faster than our expectations; second: this disturbance would definitely cause annoyance among visitors and we would be not available when we would be most required (Placement days!)
After many hassles we are up in 18 hours but server problem keep continuing. Now we found that most of time, server remain down and no one was able to access CK. Disappointment in team was growing like anything, we decide to move the server. Technical guys thought for a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Service) but it was not feasible that point of time. Technical team hosted CollegeKhabar on Hostgator; US hosting service (We want desi company but it didn’t work). Now we are up! 24*7
