Forum Problems
If you cannot see the forums it is due to us moving servers and DNS needs to fully propogate. Full and improved service should resume with in the next 18 hours (by 21/03/05 23:00 GMT). We apologise for the inconvenience this is causing.
Welcome to Host Matrix
Welcome to the Host Matrix community, we hope you enjoy your stay.
Our aim is to provide free PHP hosting to everybody that needs it. In return we hope you will contribute to our growing community and help fellow members.
Web Hosting Packages
Even our most basic (and free) package includes cpanel, a MySQL database, Fantastico and much more.
When your requirements increase you can upgrade to a better package (still free), you just need to be a valuable member of the community.
Paid Hosting
Host Matrix does not provide any paid hosting packages at the moment. If your site out grows our free packages we currently recommend Start Logic
they provide some great packages very cheaply (but not as cheap as us).
Announcements
I've updated the forum to the latest and greatest version of vBulletin. At the moment I'm trying to get the forum back to being of HM style, stable and usable. However as I'm updating versions and themes there will be a few new features, I'll leave you to find them
.
If you experience any problems (other than the obvious biggy) let me know via this thread.
As you may of noticed, things look a bit strange round here. Though if you've been a member for over 3 years it may look historically familiar. So, WHAT HAPPENED?
Our provider "out grew/argued/annoyed" their data centre which lead to them doing an emergency move without warning. This resulted in one of our hosting accounts being lost in a DNS nightmare. When chasing for this to be fixed our providers managed to restore all of our hosted sites but somehow delete our main HM site and these forums. Eventually these were restored from a dusty backup. So why haven't we now restored from a later backup?

We are in the process of moving the Host Matrix site, forums and directory to a new server. This should improve overall uptime and hopefully forum speed. I will explain in another thread why this has become necessary.
There is a nasty side affect that I cannot prevent; basically some posts that are made in the next 24 hours could be lost. The only alternative to this would be to close the forum, which I obviously don't want to do.

Galbus got me thinking with
this thread and
prettydang1 got me pulling my hair out with
this additional riddle so we now have a dedicated sub-forum for
Riddles, Jokes and Forum Games.
Hope you find this to be a useful and fun addition to the HM forums and obviously please keep all jokes clean and unoffensive.

We are still writing up the rules on reputations and upgrades but this seems like a good time to explain the basics.
At the bottom left of every post you should be able to see a pair of scales (amongst other icons). By clicking these you can leave reputation points for a members post, positive and negative. You should always leave a comment explaining why you have left reputation.
