Black Hops-Black Friday Sale

[Steelers77]

Well I waited and selected and clicked add and got an error and then your site stopped responding. I get that things go wrong occasionally but this is the third site that has touted "big sale'" at midnight and not a one worked! You'd think this might be a situation where maximum care was taken to get the buys in this economy on this day but... whatever I'm off to bed. I have enough hops to get me through a few more months.

I really did not anticipate this happening, I'm trying to figure out a solution.

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mail order! Screw the internet.

 

[theveganbrewer]

Either there are a heck of a lot more people on this forum than I thought, or the vendors have much worse web hosting that I thought. This is the 3rd website to go down already.

 

[bovineblitz]

Guess I'm going to bed then. Hope I don't miss out.

 

[Steelers77]

We have never had this happen, I'm shocked.

 

[calebawilson]

Too bad I had my hopes up for some hops.

I was thinking the same thing.

Call you hosting provider and tell them what's going on and see if they can push some more horsepower your way temporarily?

It's midnight on Thanksgiving-ish.

 

[maffewl]

Finally got to see my cart, but now all I'm getting is a "System Error" message...

 

[TheEndlessObsession]

Well I have to be at work in four hours anyway, so I'll be up. Hope it gets fixed soon for the early birds.

 

[R2-D2]

Just took some NyQuil. Hope I am still awake when the site gets fixed. I have about 10-12 hops I was going to order.

Web hosting is a 24/7/365 business, and his site is down.

Kinda what I was thinking. Worst case I get it fixed and continue on tomorrow.

Even though the site is on Godaddy, which is a big provider, he isn't getting through to anybody at this hour that can do anything. It's too decentralized. I am a web designer and I have dealt with a ton of hosts. If anything, he'll call and they'll tell him they need to repopulate the servers and it should be back within a hour.

 

[theveganbrewer]

The site is working, albeit slowly, and I have made it to the final part of checkout.

 

[mccumath]

Ahhhh man! Bummer deal! I was looking forward to buying some hops for EdWort's Haus Pale Ale!

Gotta love the interwebz...

I figured it was godaddy, their windows servers suck, and their linux servers aren't much better. It's dirt cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I put a question mark because I wouldn't figure they'd do much either, but it's probably worth a phone call.

 

[theveganbrewer]

I meant to say if, I don't know if it's in Godaddy. I just imagined they had a large customer service dept. because they suck.

 

[Steelers77]

I'm actually not on Godaddy, I only purchased my domain through them. We are on servers in Florida (Can't remember the name).

 

[Steelers77]

Orders are coming through. I will have to get in touch with my web guy in the morning to see if he can remedy the situation. Sorry guys, I had no idea this was going to be an issue.

 

[ghoti]

I just got my order through. So I guess it pays to be persistent.

 

[testingapril]

Their customer service is pretty good, it's their hosting performance that sucks. You pretty much can't host a wordpress site on one of their windows platforms and their only solution is to move to linux.

anyway, looks like the site is working now.

I'm going for some Warrior, EKG, Hallertauer, and I'm looking to try something new to make 1 lb. Any suggestions?

 

[Steelers77]

Zythos

 

[ballz50401]

A limited supply of Zythos, Falconer's and 7 C's will be $.99/oz. After that they will go back to their already low price of $1.25/oz

The sale price didn't change for these hops, only Falconer's Flight changed to $1/oz.

 

[maffewl]

Site still isn't working for me I've been messing with it since 12:00. I'm still getting "System Error" and "Connecting" messages.

Got my order in, but noticed that too. Ordered all three varieties.

 

[xeerohour]

Just picked up 15 different 4oz varieties, wound up spending around $60. I call this a great success, and I'm going to go to bed happy and dream about some recipes to try out all these goodies!

FWIW - I appreciate your availability, and know the hosting wasn't your fault.

 

[jheywood76]

With a bit of patience I was able to get through and place an order.
