IP of Hive

[Darkholme]

If you've been having issues connecting to hive the past couple days like I have you may have tried putting in the actual IP of the site.
It's erry and kindof creepy but this is what coems up.

Hello my name is Jack and I will be your host for now.

and then you still have no way to access the hive.

firelord, wth are you on...?

Darkholme - IP is just a part of getting to a website. Many sites might be hosted on one server (and hence IP, I think).

 

[Darkholme]

wow firelord, just WOW

Seriously. are you on something?

I know you can host more than one site on a server, but I wasn't expecting the thing that would come up to be THAT.

and there's still the issue of me getting timeout errors when I try to connect to the hive on a fairly regular basis. Any Idea what's going on there?

1) The Hive is run on a single server (Ralle built his own server and runs the site from his home).

2) There is only one IP for all of the Hive, i'm pretty sure.

3) Chat and resources I think used to run on a second server, but since we're no longer renting any, I don't see why we'd still have the second one.

Since nobody has any idea what I'm talking about with the second site on the same server Here is a link. I should note that all I did was type in hiveworkshop's ip address to have that come up.

now. can someone tell me why I've been getting all the timeout errors and pages not loading?

Jack is the name of our server dude

You're getting a timeout page because the site could be overloaded or down for maintenance. It has nothing to do with hackers. Ralle created that page a while back, and I think that the site must not be loading correctly if you continue to reach that page instead of the site.

 

[Darkholme]

well that answers my question better. I never said hackers. lol, that was firelord, who has removed his post after we asked him if he was on drugs because it was so ridiculous.

A web server can host any number of sites, and they can all share a single IP address. The "Hello my name is Jack and I will be your host for now" page is just the default page that gets displayed when you go directly to the IP address.

 

[Darkholme]

I figured that out. Once again, I still do not have an answer as to why I frequently timeout when I type in the domain name instead of the address so often.

ah. that explains it. Alright, thanks

By typing the IP in you are accessing the server, not the site. The site is actually at some folder on Ralle's computer, it is hosted at www.hiveworkshop.com and is accessed by the IP.

figured out he had multiple sits on the server. it was the non-loading i was asking about, and that was answered about 5-8 posts back

The timeout errors remain an unknown quantity at this time. Your best bet is to just reload the page if you see that occurring. The Hive is run from a home internet connection, so the connectivity reliability and routing, while good for a home connection, is not optimized for speed and reliability when compared with a commercial-grade connection.

ah. cool. good to know.
