MochiBot Blog

We just finished upgrading both our servers and the network that we run on. The upgrades will increase the speed of the system and give us some greater stability. It’s been a while since we last upgraded the servers. In fact it had been some 500+ odd days since it was last rebooted. That’s pretty cool! =)

You may notice a small dip in your traffic and that’s during the time we were running the upgrades. Sorry for any inconveniences!

Today you’ll notice a flatline of traffic data in MochiBot due to an issue with our DNS last night. The outage was between March 4 at 6pm to March 5 at 7am PST.

The outage was due to our DNS being reset by Yahoo after a domain renewal. If you’re considering the use of Yahoo’s domain registry services, then I would highly discourage it! We’ve had nothing but problems using their system and running into problems like we did last night is completely unacceptable if you’re running a mission critical site.
