I have been on freyr and then recently was moved to pancake. I
would say that my experience parallels yours, though, thankfully,
not with clients -- just our own company. I don't run programs at
all -- just http forms on our website and email for our 30 employees.
We have experienced a /lot/ of trouble with email -- which really
hurts business. Also, we do radio and tv programs, and let
viewers contact us via the web page. We're just a local program
so the volume is not huge, but, still, when the web page goes
down a couple hours before airtime, it is very stressful.
Just yesterday, our email was down again for 2 or 3 hours in the
middle of the afternoon.
Frankly, I think we're going to have to give up on on-rev, and
I've got egg all over my face for having recommended them to the
company during the 'founder' campaign....

Hi folks,
I'm back on this list after a few of years (although I never stopped using
LC).
I'd like to get opinions and experiences about on-rev...
I have been using the service for almost 3 years via 3 different accounts,
and have
built professional apps & websites on LC & on-rev, and several companies
are using these apps
and have built their business around them.
Everything worked seamlessly for almost 2 years, but last february &
march, we
started experiencing huge & frequent server (thor) crashes and slowdowns,
which put us
in a terrible situation towards our clients who threatened to sue us
because we weren't
delivering the service they paid for...
Meanwhile, one of our accounts was moved to a new server (pancake) but it
appeared that
something went wrong during the move, because we experienced random bugs
in some
scripts that lead to corrupted data in DBs and random errors in
automatically generated
pdf files (invoices for instance)... To solve this problem, I had to move
all scripts, files and
DBs to another account of ours still on thor...
Last but not least, for the last few days, we had a few server crashes
again, and of course
our clients yelling at us... Last week-end I also noticed some erratic
behavior during ftp
transfer that lead to corrupted scripts and huge bugs in web pages...
Searching through the list archives I found a few posts mentioning that
thor was "down
again", but nobody seemed to be in a panic business-wise because of that...
So finally, here's my question / request : we have the feeling that most
of the problems
are due to the fact that thor is a shared server and that some other
on-rev users are
playing dirty games, and we are thinking of moving our accounts to a
dedicated server.
Before subscribing to on-rev, I had a Revolution engine installed on a
dedicated Linux
server an experienced crashes or slowdowns only 2 or 3 times a year, not
every 2 or
3 days...
Does anyone on this list have built rather sophisticated with Livecode &
on-rev ?
If yes, how do you deal with all those server problems ?
Thanks in advance for any opinion, and sorry for the long post...
