Entrecard problems?
February 4th, 2008 by
Andreas from Xavier Media
About a week ago I noticed that I got a lot of error message from Entrecard (the white page telling me that they had technical problems or upgraded their site) so I setup mon.itor.us to track the performance of entrecard.com. Yesterday when I was doing some card dropping I got a lot of "white page" errors so I checked the performance of entrecard.com. Guess what, according to the server monitoring entrecard.com where down for several hours!!!! Just check out the graph from mon.itor.us:
As you can see on the graph there where access problems from all three countries (Austria, Germany and USA) at the same time for several hours. Me myself are located in Sweden so I can confirm that there where access problem from Scandinavia too. Mon.itor.us counted the downtime to amazing 25%!!!! Entrecard.com had slow response times on the 2nd of February too, but not as bad as yesterday:
Did anyone else have the same problem as I had?
EDIT: I just noticed in their blog that they had problems yesterday and they added a new server to solve the problem with response times.

I never had problems with Entrecard. Sure I got a few times the "we'll be back in 10 minutes" error page but they were really fast back on!

I guess it just may be dependent upon where you are located.
I have definitely noticed a lot of the "white page" error messages occurring in the last few weeks. Either that, or slow to moderate processing times.
Hopefully this new server will resolve these issues.

Yeah, we basically hit capacity usage on our server and had to add another one!

I ran into the same problem, it refreshed fairly quickly though. Growing pains
Mr Langdon has a winner on his hands with Entrecard.

[...] with average load times and how much down time your site(s) had. When I for example wrote about the down time Entrecard.com had I used graphs from mon.itor.us to show the actual down time Entrecard.com [...]
